Adviser Commentary

Strong progress this quarter across Financial and Governance pillars. The primary focus for Q1 2027 is reducing key person dependency (Operations pillar) and completing the data room to above 80%. Two red Health Check items require owner decision before next session: the change-of-control clause in the MSA with the top customer, and the overdue IP assignment from the founding team.
