The $33B RWA tokenization market is built on a broken data foundation. Traditional PDF inspection reports are designed to dodge liability — not to feed smart contracts. They freeze physical reality at a single point in time and live on-chain forever, silently lying as buildings deteriorate. AI can't fix this: you can't extract facts from a document designed to avoid them. The real solution is a Layer-0 Physical Oracle — a structured JSON payload that translates building defects into hard dollar values using worst-case pricing, anchors the data cryptographically on-chain, and expires automatically every 180 days. No more $0 liability illusions. No more frozen snapshots. Machine-readable concrete, or it's just Digital Subprime.
