additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines financial disclosure (verifiable) with passive, metaphor-laden language ('turbulence', 'struggles to emerge') and omission of internal accountability mechanisms. This makes the scale of operational risk feel smaller and more transient than the underlying safety and governance concerns warrant, creating tension between the headline’s evocative framing and the absence of evidence showing concrete remediation progress.
