A visibility paradox holds across every segment: categories producing visible artifacts score consistently above the midpoint while categories producing invisible governance infrastructure score consistently below it.

Categories that produce visible artifacts, token launches, treasury balances, mission statements, marketplace activity, contract automation, score consistently above 5 across the dataset.
