additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: The story emphasizes growth, adoption, funding, speed, or market movement to make the subject feel increasingly important. Watch for loaded terms such as high-profile growth companies, stepped up its exposure. The distribution reads as wire reprint. A pressure point: Ark’s AI-focused ETF (ARKQ) does not hold Circle or SpaceX.
