Decisions (3)
Kill follow-on Icicle patents — finalize the single Icicle filing only
Peter decided not to pursue the secondary/follow-on patent filings around Icicle (Know Your Workload / Kernel Control Authority family) and to have Ani Fox finalize only the one Icicle patent already in flight, before the issuance/filing window closes. Closes a months-long open question on whether to use the remaining window to add follow-on patents.
Icicle viability gate: AI inference benchmark on H100 decides go/no-go
Set a clear decision gate for the Icicle project: viability is determined by performance on a real-world AI inference workload, not synthetic benchmarks. Omer to run the RLC Pro AI benchmark on an H100 GPU. 2-3x synthetic CPU/memory degradation is acceptable IF power savings are significant for AI inference; otherwise project gets punted.
Decided to carefully surface Icicle results to Bjorn
After validating Icicle test methodology with Ryan (BIOS change applied before both with/without comparisons — apples-to-apples), and learning Ani was told by Bjorn to stand down on Icicle, Peter decided to personally and carefully bring the validated results to Bjorn's attention.

Executive Sponsorship for Strategic Partnerships
Strategic cross-company initiatives and major client partnerships require executive-level accountability to move at the right pace and ensure proper prioritization.
Small Circle for Sensitive Operations
When executing sensitive strategic operations, keep the circle of informed people as small as possible to prevent leaks that could accelerate hostile action or undermine the initiative.
Protect Engineering Capacity
When external demands threaten to overload engineering capacity, protect capacity by either requiring the demand to come with additional resources, or forcing hard prioritization choices upstream.
