Establish a time-boxed, stoppable R&D performance and portfolio evidence gate first, requiring each product to submit minimum evidence on strategic role, roadmap, customer outcomes, and spend-to-progress linkage before comparing trade-offs; this path avoids harming effective investments without evidence, or allowing sunk costs to grow unchecked

Human-controlled next action
The committee chair approves launching a time-boxed evidence gate and assigns each product owner to submit the minimum required evidence (roadmap, customer outcomes, spend-to-progress linkage) within the deadline
What would reverse the recommendation
If, before the gate expires, specific evidence of a time window and resource lock-in is obtained for the product identified in U3 as 'approaching an irreversible commitment,' showing that waiting for the gate to expire would cause substantial irreversible loss, then that product should be immediately reprioritized or stopped, rather than waiting for the full gate mechanism to complete
