Glass Ledger

A human life drops below market value, and one analyst has a night to keep him alive.

Action thrillerCorporate sci-fiClassSurvival clock

An analyst at an elite forecasting firm discovers that the model she helps maintain does more than price risk. It quietly decides which people are too expensive to save, too cheap to defend and too invisible to protect.

A clean valuation interface becomes a death sentence before anyone calls it murder.

Concept frame 01

A clean valuation interface becomes a death sentence before anyone calls it murder.

The story needs motion, not just dread. A courier marked below value becomes a living countdown across hospitals, insurance gates, transport locks and police systems that all trust the same number.

The honest problem is how polite systems turn moral choices into operational thresholds. The thriller engine is one night to keep a person alive after every institution has already priced him out.

This needs the genre speed of a chase, but the villain should remain a dashboard everyone obeys.

The low-value person should be specific, funny, irritating, alive. Otherwise the premise becomes an essay.
