Stacked senior control of a reach

Call Risk & Chokepointscompetitiveverifieddetector verifiedColorado DWR / CDSS public records (public domain). Seed-mode corpora are synthetic development data, marked in provenance.

A river reach where the top three callers account for the dominant share of all observed curtailment — the same few senior structures repeatedly control everyone's water. Market-structure intelligence for a river: whoever holds or contracts with those rights holds the reach.
