Fuzzball SaaS - Defer Pending Technical Alignment
Situation
Rather than making a call on Fuzzball SaaS viability concerns raised by Chris Wolford, directed Chris to align with Jonathan (who has pitched cloud-native ideas) to form a unified stance. If they reach opposing conclusions, escalate to Peter. H1 planning docs to proceed with caveat that SaaS initiative is pending alignment.
Reasoning
Want Chris and Jonathan (technical experts) to work through viability question together rather than arbitrating without their input. A unified technical stance is more valuable than a quick executive decision. Protecting H1 planning timeline by allowing docs to go forward with caveat. This is a significant strategic bet that needs proper vetting before committing.
Additional Context
Chris concerned customers prefer on-prem orchestration. Bjorns SaaS initiative aims to lower barrier to entry (swipe credit card setup) to accelerate product-market fit. Jonathan OOO this week so alignment will happen early next week.
