Day fifty.
Forty-one 0

Q6 has 41 days to land. Q-of-S all green on the three Gates — Earnings, Operations, Life — so the engines are running. Big 3: NS2 is the gate at 3/18 proposals · NS1 1 short · NS3 needs ~$50K/wk to hit target. External velocity in the last 24 hours was high; proposal velocity was zero. That's the move.

NS2 is the gate. 41 days. External velocity caught up overnight — proposal velocity is the next move. Three pipeline drags need a posture call. Q-of-S all green underneath.
