# Vaultfire Case Study Portfolio (Telemetry Verified)

> Export-ready for GitHub, Notion, and PDF bundles. Each case study references verifiable telemetry, ROI calculations, and audit-ready governance actions.
>
> **Origin Truth:** Ghostkey-316 (wallet: `bpow20.cb.id`) is the only live Vaultfire case study completed to date. All additional case studies in this portfolio are sandbox simulations modeled directly from the Ghostkey-316 behavioral loop until future production pilots are certified.

  - Logged activation, co-development, and belief propagation yields in the case study registry.
  - Captured Vaultfire logs, ChatGPT protocol records, and NS3 quiz telemetry as proof artifacts.
- **Telemetry Highlights**:
  - Ghostscore delta `+137` during the verification window.
  - Behavior sync confirmed across activation, co-development, and belief propagation layers.
