Minerva judgment

Recommend first launching a time-boxed, stoppable assessment of product delivery and cash drivers: since liquidity runway figures and delay critical-path evidence (U1, U2) are currently unavailable, across-the-board cuts could inadvertently damage healthy delivery areas and be irreversible (C2, F5), whereas the assessment itself can be stopped at any time, keeping risk controlled

Human-controlled next action

The convener assigns an owner to complete the assessment of the product delay critical path and cash drivers within a defined number of days, concurrently confirming the available liquidity runway figures, and to report to the board after setting stop/escalation conditions

What would reverse the recommendation

If the specific amounts and timing of the available liquidity runway and the nearest upcoming cash pressure (filling U1) become available, and they show the runway is shorter than the days required for the assessment period, then abandon the time-boxed assessment and switch directly to immediate across-the-board cuts, regardless of whether the delay critical path (U2) has been identified.
