# Burn Exceeds Revenue

## Quote

> "When burn exceeds revenue by 7x daily, something breaks."

— [[entity-nate-b-jones]] (~02:24)

## Why It Matters

The one-line summary of [[claim-sora-economics]] and the visceral framing of the [[concept-inference-wall]]. It captures the qualitative reality behind the numbers: at a 7x daily burn-to-revenue ratio, no amount of scale fixes the math — the product must be killed regardless of capability.
