<h2>The Five-Phase Architecture</h2>
<p style="font-size: 1.15rem; max-width: 800px;">
In 2019, standing on the Intracoastal Waterway at 05:47 local time, I mapped the first DMAIC cycle to a lunar port's cargo rhythm. Each phase locks to a solar elevation angle, each buffer calculates to a tide window. This is not metaphor—this is the load-bearing strut of the colony's survival.

<h2>Visual Anchor: The First Sunrise</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 30px; max-width: 700px;">
That 2019 moment on the Intracoastal—when the caliper sang true and the golden seam became load-bearing. Every buffer, every wave, every mistake in that first render taught us that imperfection is the soul of the send.
