Decisions (1)

Intent to move Ascender to Zorina with dedicated headcount; stays under Justin for now

Peter decided the direction for Ascender (and Ascender Pro; Ledger Pro pending a Bjorn confirmation): move it under Zorina as a clean, dedicated product home, with headcount Peter has secured for Zorina to hire a team (Bay-Area-first, lightly). For now Ascender remains under Justin — NOT Nathan — and the move to Zorina is directional intent, not yet executed. Larry and Jimmy (original engineers) move to sales-support under Bjorn. Intent is to productize Ascender like any other shippable product rather than leave it an orphan.
