This is the Gate 1 recycle executive-session deck — the decision to send the business case back rather than approve a number the board knew was wrong. It walks the five gate outcomes, the two correctable flaws (an 87-basis-point capital-charge understatement and unvalidated distribution volume), the corrected economics (14.6% → 13.4% IRR, still above the 11% hurdle), why the outcome was RECYCLE and not GO, CANCEL, or conditions, and the schedule impact (launch held, Stage 2 compressed). Walk through it here or download the editable deck above.
