Kyle move conditions: permanent (no return) and gated on RLC completion

Situation

If/when Kyle moves to Gregs research team, the move is permanent with no path back to Wolfords org. The gate is Kyle completing his current RLC commitments first, not just Wolford filling the backfill rec. Greg owns the conversation and setting expectations with Kyle on self-management and performance; Greg will update Peter and Bjorn on Kyles decision.

Reasoning

Yesterdays conditional move had a softer gate (Wolford backfill rec first). Todays Impromptu Zoom refinement makes the conditions more protective on both sides: 1) Permanent-with-no-return ensures the move is a real commitment for Kyle (not a vacation he returns from) and lets Wolford backfill cleanly without holding a seat. 2) RLC-completion gate protects engineering velocity — RLC is critical and pulling Kyle mid-project costs customer commitments. 3) Greg owning the conversation respects that the receiving manager should set expectations directly. Same pattern as last weeks Kyle AI transfer approved with hard conditions — the conditions get more precise as the actual move approaches.

Additional Context

Forced today by three converging meetings (C-Suite Sync, Impromptu Zoom, Recruitment Forecasting) plus Mariahs Q-end forecast deadline. Yesterdays decision logged the move as conditional; today crystallizes the specific conditions.

Observed Evidence

Fathom meeting summary lists the three conditions explicitly. Peter DM to Mariah affirms Greg ownership of the conversation. Peters action item: Open a new headcount requisition for Wolfords team to backfill Kyles role (independent of Kyles move outcome).
