Run one campus technology-transfer office against Jensen and Thursby's 2001 survey of 62 US universities: 61 percent of disclosures not currently licensed, 71 percent of licensed inventions needing inventor cooperation, 48 percent still a proof of concept. Publish a declared intake policy (field, stage, three-minute look) and send bounded asks for the unlicensed stock. Discriminator: if previously unmatched licenses rise without extra inventor hours, matching was the hole this essay names. If they stay flat unless the inventor is in the room, the leftover is co-development, not a portable "worth a look" claim. Taleb's convexity (Edge, 12 December 2012) and Desai's career optionality (Crimson, 25 May 2017) stay as competing accounts of unused options that someone already holds. Author dispositions stay author-owned.
