Gate Fuzzball SaaS GTM on Working Prototype — Assign Michelle

Situation

Agreed to move forward on Fuzzball SaaS GTM but gated it on having a working prototype first. Suggested Michelle as the resource to stand up a prototype on top of existing Fuzzball, accepting she's not the ideal person but can make progress. Rejected doing it 'out of band' — keep in normal product flow.

Reasoning

Greg wants GTM momentum on Fuzzball SaaS. Jonathon built a WebUI prototype but the full SaaS experience needs more work. Engineering discipline says don't sell what you can't demo. Choosing an imperfect resource (Michelle) over waiting for the perfect one shows pragmatism — momentum over perfection when the alternative is no progress. Keeping it in-band prevents fragmented attention.

Additional Context

Greg shared a Bjorn thread about Fuzzball SaaS. Jonathon already did a WebUI prototype. Greg offered to run it out of band if Peter wanted. Peter said no, keep it in-band, but assign Michelle to make progress. Greg: 'I really want to get GTM moving on this.'

Observed Evidence

Peter told Greg: 'My only ask would be - let's get someone to stand up a prototype before we run the GTM side.' When Greg offered out-of-band: 'I don't want to do it out of band. I'm ok with using a resource that's not ideal to make progress on it though - not the perfect person but if it's a choice between no progress and potential progress... someone like michelle.'
