Caldera's sorter governance is the ballast of 'anti-censorship and interruption recovery.' The performance of a single sorter can be impressive, but if governance is weak at a single point, risks can amplify at critical moments. I will outline the decision tree: the threshold for detecting anomalous evidence, the procedures for triggering failover, the conditions for returning to the main path, and the minimum guarantees for data availability during that time. These should be written as executable scripts, rather than remaining as documentation.
The bridge follows the same logic. The most important aspects are the paths for freezing and unfreezing anomalies, as well as the toolchain for reconciliation and replay. If Caldera can standardize the operational actions of the sorter and the bridge into a script that 'anyone on duty can complete step by step', small teams can maintain dedicated execution environments at controllable costs. Complexities can be tucked away neatly, allowing innovation to no longer race against maintenance.
'Going live in ten minutes' is a good story, but 'operational maintenance without fatigue in the tenth week' is what makes a good product. What Caldera deserves to be evaluated on is whether it can continuously provide this sense of order.
