04 · Why it holds
What protects the investor
Conservative by design
Zero terminal value, no contingency recovery, Y4 replacement already deducted.
Mall aligned
The mall earns a revenue share — it is motivated to sell and protect the network.
Scalable
The pilot proves rates and fill before the whole-mall scope is committed.
