Verification Complete ✅

Verified all expected files exist in the repo with substantial content:

File	Status	Lines
`README.md`	✅ Exists	26 lines
`positioning/core-positioning.md`	✅ Exists	64 lines
`positioning/competitive-landscape.md`	✅ Exists	69 lines
`bio/bios.md`	✅ Exists	28 lines
`messaging/taglines.md`	✅ Exists	44 lines
`talks/` (empty dir)	✅ Created	Contains `.gitkeep` placeholder

All files had substantive content — no placeholder or stub files. The talks/ directory was missing (only file not present), so I created it with a .gitkeep to track it in git.

Closing this issue — initial repo setup is complete.
