2/6 Scarcity rules: Only 45 sailing days allowed until 2027. In this "time-capital" economy, inefficiency is the ultimate sin. Every AC75 #Taihoro outing must validate thousands of numerical simulations. Every second on the water is a strategic investment. #Performance

2/6 La jauge est stricte : seuls 45 jours de navigation sont autorisés jusqu’en 2027. Dans cette économie du "capital-temps", l'inefficacité est un péché capital. Chaque sortie de l'AC75 #Taihoro doit valider des milliers de simulations numériques. #Logistics #Performance
