Keep 90 days tied to financial decisions

Act turns the selected path into a scoped workflow with a budget of $18,000 for 90 days and a deadline of Start within two weeks.

The work is not complete when it is booked or paid. It is complete only when this test passes: Reconciled 13-week model, board package, decision log, and named internal owner.

  1. Baseline model — Cash, revenue, payables, and hiring plan reconciled.
  2. Weekly cadence — Scenario decisions tracked with the founders.
  3. Board handoff — Final package and internal owner due in week 12.

Exception rule: A forecast variance above 10% triggers model review before new spending is approved. Final acceptance: Reconciled 13-week model, board package, decision log, and named internal owner.
