Pitching "your CIM as our EP substrate" would show we +hadn't read their papers. The INVERTED ask (amended wording from the audit, use verbatim or close): +"We've read the JSSC-2018 die docs — the 512x256 bank's outputs are comparator decisions plus the +6b test ADC pair, and the 28nm DiT is digital IMC per your Nov-2025 deck. Two questions: does ANY +die variant in the group's inventory expose per-column analog outputs before aggregation, and would +you co-design a per-column two-phase contrast-readout macro on a future run?" Plus: harness/gateware +collaboration + digital-IMC baseline are their real near-term value; the T64 gateware ports +unchanged to any future analog macro.
