Initiative and Pressure Network
Who initiates, who reacts, and to whom - measured from 2,096 adjudicated moves across 50 iterations. Each arrow is an actor's PRIMARY pressure source per the causal record.

The structure the numbers reveal: the concealment complex is dominated not by government but by the
industry screen - both the Strategic Acquirer and the Concealment Layer most often reacted to the Private Diligence
Layer, which initiated only 9 of its 150 moves yet landed 149 of them. Government pressure flows mostly within the
regime and onto the contested field. Two reciprocal duels shape the middle game: Prime Contractor vs its own
Compliance Function, and DCSA vs the Legal Challenge Layer.
