From 298e5fc3d0ebc1273929648cce13919eea857326 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Transaction Science Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 19:03:15 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] wai/research: state the medium-shift lever in WAI's own terms MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit content-taxonomy.md §2 described lever 3 by attributing a phrase to an outside party. It now states the lever directly: the unit of value moves from bytes delivered to energy per experience.
