Why treat these three essays as one investment system?

The hall-storage thesis fails if any single lens is applied in isolation. Battery chemistry economics determines equipment margin but says nothing about revenue stack. Hall-BESS revenue analysis prices dispatch but says nothing about which architectures are permissible to procure. Regulatory analysis determines what gets procured but says nothing about who captures margin within the procured stack. The three interlock as hall-storage value = physical economics × monetisation rights × regulatory / site eligibility.

How does the hall-storage investment stack relate to the Grid-to-Chip framework?

Hall-level storage is one sub-block within Hall Power, which is one of five stages in the Grid-to-Chip framework covering the full electron path from campus interconnection to accelerator die. The trilogy demonstrates a pattern that applies at other stages: multiple investment lenses on a single architectural block.
