Markets for Adversarial Testing

Provocation: create a standing market for demonstrated safety failures. Developers fund bounties; independent teams earn more for transferable mechanisms than theatrical jailbreaks; protected disclosure carries the result into repair. A shared taxonomy keeps the market focused on consequential pathways instead of optimizing for spectacle.

Why this idea is here
