➖Savings mechanism
== At the end of Q4, we will put aside a two-month runway for operations and put everything else into a Savings Account. Before the end of Q4 we will create a Savings Goal for Q1. If we do not meet the Savings Goal then, the following Quarter will have a 'light restricted' budget. If we do not meet the Savings Goal AND have to take out of Savings in order to maintain the 2-month runway then the following Quarter will have a 'heavy restricted' budget. We will repeat this exercise at the end of each quarter, looking ahead to the next quarter throughout 2025: set a Savings Goal and define the consequences of not accomplishing that goal at the end of each quarter.
