── THE PATTERN ──
Every titan move follows the same cycle. AI Indigo tracks every step — and tells you where you are in it.
- 1. ReleaseTitan ships a product, model, or capability
- 2. Market shockStocks move. Sectors feel it. Pundits react.
- 3. Profession impactReal workers face real automation pressure.
- 4. Adaptation windowTools and workflows emerge. Upskilling begins.
- 5. New normalThose who adapted thrive. Those who didn't fall behind.
