Too early to adopt

Why: Genuinely novel carbon-negative chemistry with a peer-reviewed Matter publication and improved water durability in the latest formulation, but sub-structural strength and no scale-up path place it at TRL ~3-4 — research-grade, not deployable.
Next: Monitor for independent strength/durability replication and any pilot-scale production; re-evaluate when a field demonstrator or commercialization partner emerges
