Established Fuzzball AI validation process

Situation

Committed to validating Greg's Fuzzball AI marketing claims before they go external. New process: Greg/Jonathan provides desired story, Peter documents engineering tests required, engineering validates and gives thumbs-up/down. HumanX conference in 2 weeks is the forcing function.

Reasoning

Uncomfortable telling stories that engineering hasn't validated — protects CIQ credibility with partners like NVIDIA. By owning validation, gives Greg ability to tell the story while ensuring claims are grounded in reality. Diplomatically constructive framing ('you can tell the story before it all works') avoids blocking Greg while adding an engineering guardrail. Greg's Fuzzball AI vision (sovereign LLMs, Open Code, agentic infrastructure) is ambitious — validation prevents over-promising.

Additional Context

Greg's 3-pillar Fuzzball AI vision: 1) Never pay for another token — sovereign LLMs on Fuzzball, 2) Open Code (open source competitor to Claude Code) using Fuzzball backend, 3) Fuzzball for agentic infrastructure and agent-agent collaboration. Jensen/NVIDIA pipeline creating urgency. HumanX conference in 2 weeks. Cedric working on this.

Observed Evidence

Direct quote in #distinguished-leaders: 'I essentially want you (or johnathan) to hand me the press release... I'll come back to you with I validated this and it all works today'. Confirmed in Engineering Weekly Sync as new process. Greg's DM laid out 3-pillar vision.
