Board Talking Points
Headcount Justification
Cycle time improved 22% after onboarding the new review pod. Cutting senior reviewers would slow critical initiatives by ~3 weeks.
Investment Ask
Two automation engineers could remove the 3.2-day approval bottleneck and unlock $1.2M ARR in delayed features.
Risk Mitigations
Security review completed in 4 days. Security practices aligned with SOC 2 Type II framework, GitHub scopes remain read-only.
