Public model mirrors are becoming part of the sales pitch for small colonies.
By exposing continuity mirrors more visibly, newer settlements can show that they are not improvising all of their decision-critical infrastructure from one fragile node. The mirror becomes a public confidence object for residents, counterparties, and insurers who want proof that local intelligence and records can survive routine disruption.
In a crowded expansion environment, that kind of proof is often more persuasive than promotional language.
