What's happening?
A public resource can reach readers outside the original workspace. Duplication, when enabled, connects useful content to a new workspace action. Publishing and duplication are documented; their effect on acquisition is Tactern analysis.
Why it might work
How the mechanism creates value
The recipient encounters the product through an artifact they already need to consume. This gives the creation tool distribution beyond its current users. The path breaks if branding overwhelms the artifact or the recipient must sign up before receiving value.
The implementation to investigate
