A small number of investors influence which problems in the world receive attention and which remain unresolved. This concentration of decision-making means their individual behaviors --- How they read signals, choose priorities, and allocate scarce resources — shape the trajectory of entire domains. In a system organized around gatekeepers, the quality and consistency of those gatekeepers’ actions become defining variables. Strange Mimes makes those variables visible, adding an observational layer that supports a more rational and predictable distribution of effort toward the problems that matter.
