additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines wire attribution (credibility signal) with selective metric highlighting (revenue beat, cloud acceleration, stock reaction) to create an impression of unambiguous momentum; the framing makes the scale and durability of growth feel larger than warranted given the absence of retention, margin, or cohort data — creating tension between headline velocity and operational substance.
