Pushing OpenDrives POC Forward at Executive Level
Situation
Continued pushing the OpenDrives POC by confirming Bjorn will talk to Robert B. Originally elevated this to COO/President level to drive strategic partnership.
Reasoning
Major clients involved (Fox Sports for World Cup, Superbowl, NASCAR). Investors/board care about demonstrating combined Astraeus + Fuzzball value. Strategic cross-company partnerships require executive-level accountability.
Additional Context
POC involves demonstrating combined value for mutual investors and board members. OpenDrives has resources ready, waiting on CIQ side.
People Involved
Bjorn Hovland, Alex Dunfey, Trevor Morgan, Robert B, Jason Scott
