Jon Mott succession

First Kovo meeting since Aug 4. Name it, then move on.

Say this

"Before we get into the stack, I want to acknowledge that this is our first working session since Jon died on August 4. Jon owned the evaluation framework on our side, the question of whether Kovo measurably improves detection and recovery for the people we protect. Mike continues to own that, and Andrew is picking up the technical continuity. The framework stands. I wanted you to hear that from me rather than infer it from a gap in the calendar."

Jon owned the business evaluation framework, "The One Test": does Kovo measurably improve scam prevention, detection, or recovery for 60+ users
He did not own the technical and hardware architecture review. That was always Mike
Open gap: 60-day go/no-go criteria were never written, and no document reassigns his duties
Open gap: the Mottshire and Payson venue dependency has no replacement

Guardrail

Nothing further. Do not let it become the meeting. Kim Mott sets the pace on anything family or estate related.
