Diff actuals against original commitments and surface which OKRs are mathematically dead.
Draft three recalibration options ranging from founder without full signing authority reset to full rewrite, with credibility cost noted.
What AI cannot do
Restore credibility that was already spent on the original commitments.
Judge whether the team has one recalibration left in them this year or zero.
