Shape Forming — none proposed, not yet confirmed

There is some real sequencing evidence — 11 new AI use cases added in 2024, followed by an AI superagent launch in August 2025 with a 40% documentation-time cut — which supports iteration over time rather than a single static snapshot. However, the 'each loop accelerates the next' framing in the narrative is largely tone rather than a demonstrated multi-period trend, so the Spiral call rests on thinner evidence than the prompt requires for high confidence. Prior recorded shape was already Spiral; this proposal agrees but flags the velocity evidence as suggestive, not conclusive.

Shape Read

Oscar's 2026 record does not show a partner workflow. Q5 is dormant: it was on the 2025 grid and Investor Day did not re-prove it. The occupied cells are the prior claims-processing loop and the clinical intake bot. Agentic language with no deployment stays a claim. The shape is open.

Trajectory: Q5 → Q6 by 2026

Nothing quoted yet. A rate or a saving will sit here when it is on the record. It does not light the grid.
