Consumer Electronics Paradigm Shift: Harvest and Exit Now, or Validate Reinvention First Through a Time-Boxed Adjacent-Market Experiment With Funding Gates?

Minerva judgment

Prioritize a time-boxed adjacent-market experiment with funding gates and stop-loss triggers. Given the current lack of evidence on customer payment, channels, and profitability, an immediate harvest-and-sell would forgo unvalidated upside in enterprise value, whereas the experiment path preserves exit flexibility at controlled cost.

What would reverse the recommendation

If assessment of core business cash contribution and decline rate shows the harvest window will narrow significantly during the experiment period, switch immediately to harvest-and-sell rather than continuing the experiment.
