📊 Source Intelligence
Useful for: Free texts, criticism, and the communities that keep classics alive.
What we learn from them: Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks prove free + beautiful wins; societies like JASNA prove niche passion sustains decades.
How we compete: We compete on devotion — single-author depth done with a fan's love and a librarian's rigor.
