If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view.

For broader or missing-topic search, use the letter shards under /topics/index/ before falling back to the bulk transcript-search files.
