Question
The linear path
Answer
Take, make, use, discard — the default every device follows unless something intervenes.
Question
The ranking rule for interventions
Answer
Rank by how close each gets to the making stage, because that is where the footprint is.
Question
Why working devices are replaced
Answer
Support ends, batteries are glued in, parts are unavailable, and repair is tied to the manufacturer.
Question
Why recycling ranks last
Answer
It acts after the emissions have already happened — it reduces the next build rather than preventing this one.
