FICTIONAL BASELINE SOURCE
D-intake | internal | 2026-10-16

U05 / Board: We need lender confidence within the first quarter. Listed-company experience would reassure me.
U06 / CEO: I would take a strong private-company CFO over a public-company deputy. We are buying businesses, not planning an IPO.
U01 / Recruiter: Is IPO experience mandatory?
U05: No. Bring the tradeoff back to us with evidence.
U06: The forecast needs to be usable by the operating team every week.
U01: I will draft criteria tied to those outcomes. Compensation is still unapproved.
