Welcome to Agentic Autonomy. The motif of the quarter is the phantom meter.

The Cassandra Files is a forensic investigative unit auditing the wreckage of the near-future across the sectors of business, technology, and health. The series follows Katie, a clinical institutional auditor, and Marcus, a cynical forensic engineer, as they weaponize their shared history and technical expertise to expose systemic lies. Operating within the "Oracle Gap," they document the acoustic signature of the global machinery failing while the architects of the collapse attempt to muzzle the truth.
