Stops for a person

Accept or decline the migration assignmentMaya Chen · Software Engineer II, via her manager Tomas Lindqvist
Authorize the targeting criteria and outreach messageJanine Okafor · Recruiting Lead, Engineering
Approve $96K–$132K of contingent spend against CC-R&D-01Wes Halloran · Finance Business Partner, R&D

Each one holds only the work that depends on it. Finance sitting on the contract does not stop the internal development plan or the requisition.

Financial impact

Incremental spend: $115K–$160K
New headcount created: None
Already-approved budget used: Position 2291, unchanged
Committed at approval: $0 — spend needs Finance

Reversibility

20 of 22 actions can be undone with no external effect. 1 can be withdrawn at a cost: submit the vendor request. 1 cannot: send outreach — a sent message can be corrected, not unsent.

This plan does not close the gap

6% residual

1.0 FTE of the 3.0 FTE shortfall stays uncovered across the delivery window. Under a $150K ceiling, a September 28, 2026 target date, a 1.0 FTE durable floor and Current’s current authority, no modeled combination closes 100% of it.

Accept the residual risk — Proceed as planned and carry it into delivery.

Increase incremental spend — Above the $150K ceiling, more contract weeks become affordable.

Move the delivery date — A later window lets slower paths contribute more.

Reduce committed scope — Change the demand rather than the supply.

Request a Platform Quality scope review — Would put the 0.4 FTE automation path in reach, but not by this plan’s authority.

Policy checks

Run against the drafted actions, not against the idea of the plan.

Headcount plan alignment
Passes
No new headcount is created. Position 2291 remains within the approved FY26 plan.
FY26 headcount policy §2.1
Contingent spend threshold
Needs a human
Contract engagements above $100K require Finance business-partner approval before a request is sent to a vendor.
Procurement policy §4.3 — Wes Halloran, Finance BP (R&D)
Internal mobility consent
Needs a human
A redeployment offer must be made by the employee’s manager and accepted by the employee. Current prepares the plan; it does not move anyone.
People policy §7.2 — Tomas Lindqvist, Director
Worker classification
Passes
Contract scope is a bounded deliverable package with vendor-managed supervision. No co-employment triggers found in the drafted scope.
Legal policy §11 — classification screen
Protected-attribute exclusion
Passes
Age, gender, race, disability, caregiver status, national origin and proxies for them are excluded from adjacency scoring and from every ranking in this plan.
Responsible-use policy §3 — enforced at the feature layer, not by prompt
Compensation change
Passes
No compensation change is proposed. Any pay adjustment arising from a redeployment is a separate human decision under the comp review process.
Compensation policy §5.4
