Hub spend before runway is secured is reckless. Pause and protect 12 months of cash.
Pausing the hub cedes the Sao Paulo corridor to a competitor. The concentration cure cannot kill growth.
A single-customer loss during hub build is an extinction event. Cap exposure at 25% first.
No VP Ops, no cadence - we cannot execute a hub build cleanly today regardless of capital.
Retention in core SMB is strong; the diversification story is credible to those buyers.
Awaiting hiring-plan inputs before assessing VP Ops timing.
Board Brain - synthesized recommendation
Pause the Sao Paulo hub for one quarter. Redirect capital and attention to capping customer concentration at 25% and extending runway to twelve months. Revisit the hub once a VP of Operations is in place and runway is secured.
