The failure stemmed from a fundamental misalignment of incentives: competitors were unwilling to contribute data to infrastructure controlled by their primary rival, regardless of technical merit. This illustrates the importance of governance neutrality in multi-stakeholder platforms. For practitioners, the key insight is that technological innovation must account for competitive positioning and trust dynamics.
