CSO final-day factory decision gate — kill criterion enters deadline day
What
As of 05-May-2026 05:21 IST, vault search still shows no explicit AJ yes/no on first expert-agent onboarding in May.
Midday recheck — 05-May-2026 13:22 IST: still no explicit AJ yes/no found in vault search. The deadline has not passed, but the decision window is now under one business day.
The kill criterion from the May strategy pulse is not triggered yet because the deadline is 05-May-2026 EOD IST, but it has entered its final day.
Why this matters
The April scans already diagnosed the bottleneck: factory activation + R&D transfer criteria. Continuing to produce scans without closing the execution decision is the exact ceremonial-scanning loop flagged on 28-Apr.
Godrej’s FY27 guidance has now raised the competitive bar, so the factory decision is not only an internal capacity question; it is part of the competitive response mechanism.
Competitive recheck at midday found no newer top-5 Mumbai competitor move that supersedes the Godrej alert. Godrej remains the material signal; Lodha/Oberoi/Kalpataru/Prestige searches were either repeat context or non-Mumbai-specific.
Required NOVA action today
Ask AJ one binary question, with no broader memo:
Approve first expert-agent onboarding in May — YES or NO? If YES, NOVA selects first expert by operational backlog: Tech/Infra or Salesforce. If NO, record the deprioritization rationale and revisit in June.
Kill criterion
If no explicit AJ yes/no exists by 05-May-2026 EOD IST, mark April/May strategic scan as failed-to-execute, not pending. Do not commission another strategy scan until this execution choice is closed.
