A platform thesis: own the Private Internet.

What changes when you own the fabric

• Private, limited-membership internets become a normal deployment pattern
• Systems remain operable under failure (split / merge / heal)
• Local-first services and edge intelligence stay available without upstream permission
• Economics shift from compounding cloud rent to owned infrastructure

Why this can be a platform

FrogNet scales by partner parallelism: domain experts build products and deployments; FrogNet stays focused on fabric behavior, deterministic operation under stress, transport adaptation, and fail-closed policy posture.
