Prioritize the path of 'setting a time-bound, stoppable evidence gate for application and adoption': given that F2 shows application, adoption, specifications, volume, and pricing are all unvalidated, and F4 indicates that immediate full-scale commitment would create irreversible cost, validating key assumptions at low cost first before deciding whether to escalate to a full development commitment is currently the only path that preserves both the time window and reversibility.

Human-controlled next action
The convener assigns the commercial evidence and development risk teams to jointly design and execute application/adoption/pricing validation gates within a set deadline, and to propose quantified go/pause/no-go metrics for the committee to decide.
What would reverse the recommendation
If a subsequent review shows that the resources and time required to validate U1-U3 themselves approach or exceed the irreversible cost of full development (i.e., the time-window loss described in F4 outweighs the risk cost saved by validation), then the 'gate-first' path should be abandoned in favor of directly assessing, based on the resource scale in F1, whether to commit immediately or issue a direct no-go.
