Approve the SOC 2 three-year extension on Steve renegotiated terms - same rate, payment deferred, penalty-free cancellation

Situation

The SOC 2 auditor opened at 14,976 per year flat for three years, payable on SOW execution (about 10 months early). Peter supported Steve going back; Steve renegotiated to 1,040 at signing and nothing until about June 2027, milestone billing at Net 30, penalty-free termination with the 1,040 refundable before Year 1 fieldwork, and re-pricing requiring both signatures. Peter approved and signed the DocuSign after Steve verified it was the right version.

Reasoning

Confirmed by Peter (logged by his choice). Delegate routine renewals to the owner who did the market check and negotiation; Peter involvement is support plus signature. The wins were cash timing and an exit right at the same rate, reducing risk at no cost.

Additional Context

Consistent with Peter 9/18 approval of Steve owning Standards and Procedures sign-off.

Observed Evidence

I support; yup; Done on DocuSign after Steve verified.
