Minerva judgment

Adopt a time-boxed, stoppable regional, segment, and access evidence gate to sequence the launch, since there is currently no jointly validated evidence supporting full commitment, and all three teams agree that any initial investment must be stoppable; this path preserves the competitive window while avoiding irreversible risk

Decision owner in the teaching simulationChair of the Asset Commercialization Committee, in an independent educational simulation

Human-controlled next action

The committee chair approves the design of a time-boxed regional evidence gate and requires the market access, commercial, and medical teams to jointly propose a minimum viable resource sequence and stop conditions within the gate deadline

What would reverse the recommendation

If evidence can be obtained to quantify the cost of the window (U1) and confirm it exceeds the cost of regional validation delay, or if the minimum viable investment sequence (U3) is clarified to show that full-commitment dependencies are manageable, the recommendation should reverse to accelerating full go-to-market
