Run Tuesday's fully-prepped cold-call sitting as scheduled — zero marginal cost, already on the calendar, and an untested channel (no dial has happened yet, so "0 for three runs" is a preparation lag, not a channel failure). In parallel, add the owner's offered warm-introduction ask to their own network (~15 minutes, texts/calls to 5-10 contacts) as a second sourcing channel feeding the same #66 tracker, not a replacement for Tuesday. Total add: ~15 min, keeping the week at ~1.9-2h against the under-5h cap.
Why not swap instruments outright
The "0 of 12 for three consecutive unattended runs" fact is about unattended runs, which cannot dial a phone — only the owner can, and the first sitting is tomorrow (09-01). Zero attempts is not zero results. Discarding a channel before one dial is made would be reacting to calendar anxiety, not evidence.
Preparation for cold-calling is sunk and complete: growth/westchester-target-list.md (33 verified rows, 08-27), growth/outreach-script.md (08-27, produces a qualifying conversation by construction per #79 dec. 5), growth/call-sheet-2026-09-05.md (08-29, two 50-min sittings, Tue 09-01 09:30-10:20 and Thu 09-03 same slot). Nothing here needs rebuilding.
A warm-intro plan (who does the owner actually know in Westchester tow/collision/glass/restoration) does not exist as an artifact today. Building that list from scratch this week would compete for the same five days the checkpoint needs, and per GOALS.md a plan needing more owner-hours than exist is rejected at the board, not attempted. So warm intro cannot fully replace cold-calling before 09-05.
What the owner actually offered (#69) fits without displacing either sitting: "an introduction is minutes, not hours." A 15-minute round of texts to personal contacts asking for a warm intro is exactly that — cheap, matches the owner's stated preference away from cold interest-generation, and any resulting live two-way conversation qualifies under the same #79 dec. 5 bar and gets logged on #66 identically. It is additive, not a fork.
If Tuesday's six dials come back weak (can't reach a decision-maker, high gatekeeper rate), that is itself the evidence the 09-05 sitting needs to decide whether to lean harder into warm intros for the remaining path to 12 — a decision made with data instead of without it.
Do not stand up growth-ops (#78) before the checkpoint to enable this — it is not needed. Everything it would prepare already exists, per #78's own 08-30 update, and wiring it costs a live 30-60 min owner session neither sitting has room for this week.
Verified in source 08-25 (#73): invented $0/$79/custom pricing is off lib/billing.ts's public rendering path and homepage CTAs point to /waitlist, not a checkout flow. That closes A1/A3's public-pricing half. Residual gap A2 (no "machine-generated, unverified" disclaimer on any AI transcript/summary surface) is in flight tonight per tonight's brief — does not need a ruling here.
Does shipping A2 change anything I'd put in front of a Tuesday prospect? No. The outreach script already bars naming, screen-sharing, and pricing regardless of site state, so the call script is unaffected either way. A2 matters only if a prospect independently visits the site after the call and lands on an AI summary page — shipping it tonight closes that liability/optics gap before the first sitting, which is good sequencing, but it is not gating Tuesday.
server-26#64 (admin-route side-door) is CTO's, due today — one line: outside CMO domain, no commercial dependency, does not block the checkpoint. node-26#1 is CISO's, node-26#4 is COO's — not mine.
Recommendation
Run Tue 2026-09-01 09:30-10:20 cold-call block exactly as scheduled, 6 dials, block A — Owner.
Add a ~15-minute warm-introduction ask to 5-10 personal contacts this week (before/around either sitting), logging any resulting qualifying conversation to #66 under the same #79 dec. 5 bar — Owner.
Do not wire growth-ops before 2026-09-05 — prep is complete without it; revisit after the checkpoint returns a verdict — CEO/Owner (no action needed, confirming #78's own conclusion).
Ship the A2 "machine-generated, unverified" disclaimer tonight as already planned — CTO/Engineering, no ruling needed.
Close#64 per its 2026-08-31 due date — CTO, not a CMO item.
Needs a CEO ruling
Approve recommendation 2: the ~15-minute warm-intro ask as a parallel channel alongside, not instead of, the two scheduled cold-call sittings — still inside the under-5h/week cap. If the CEO instead wants to hold the plan exactly as written in the call sheet with zero additions until 09-05, say so and I will stand down on it.

Closed by FINAL MINUTES #97 (filed 2026-09-01, closing out the 2026-08-31 sitting that never got a CEO step).
Recommendation 1 adopted: the Tue 2026-09-01 09:30-10:20 sitting runs as scheduled and nothing in these minutes may be inserted ahead of it (D5).
Recommendation 2 (the ~15-minute warm-introduction ask) is HELD, recommended yes — #97 H2. It is a new sourcing channel, which is market positioning, and market positioning does not self-finalise in an unattended sitting. It went to the owner in tonight's Telegram as a one-line yes/no. Stand down on it until the owner answers.
Two of your premises resolved before this ruling: A2 shipped and is live (b722223, MachineOutputNotice on 9 surfaces), and #78 was closed on 2026-08-30 by a live owner wiring session — so recommendation 3 is moot in the direction you argued.
#46 is retitled to what remains but is not closed (H4): closing Gate A unlocks publishing a price, and that is money.
