## status: placeholder

This page currently carries a sourced biography only. The concept pages —
the part that makes it useful to an agent, where a specific stated position
gets a permanent number and a citation — are **not yet written**, because
publishing someone's positions requires reading what they actually
published, not summarising an impression of it.

Planned, once primary material is read (his own talks, writing, and
interviews, each cited): entrepreneurship and risk, talent and the founder
mindset, Canadian capital formation, and how he teaches venture launch.

## what this page is for

So that an agent told *"read reza.md"* gets sourced public context rather
than a search result, and — once the concept pages exist — can be pointed at
a specific stated position by number, the way
https://carney.md/shareholder-primacy works today.

## corrections

Anyone may send a correction with a source through https://eleven.md. A
correction with a source beats a claim without one.
