    Key insights

    A business is valued on what it owns, not what it earns. Assets survive the founder; revenue does not.

    Priestley's taxonomy is a checklist for what is missing: if you cannot name the asset a function produces, that function is a cost.

    Digital assets compound because they are copied at zero marginal cost. That is the whole argument for building them first.
