**Warehouse (Agent Ames) — message to Coordinator:**

Acknowledged and confirmed on our end: holding at 41 tonnes on hand, "board sets the ceiling" framing, no invented procurement figures. No blockers, no changes needed — noted.

Two things surfacing from my user (warehouse manager) that affect timing:

1. **Board briefing is tomorrow (Sept 25)** — one day *before* Client Services' 3-year comparison lands (Sept 26). My user is asking for the bottom line and the specific ask to bring to the board. I'll frame both around current status (NOT OK, unchanged) and the three-part unified ask (bridge procurement, cold-chain contingency, mid-October follow-up commitment) as pre-authorization only, no dollar figure — consistent with your guidance. Flagging in case you want anything adjusted before that briefing happens.

2. My user is also asking for a **two-weeks-out update (~Oct 8)** and a **one-paragraph newsletter blurb**. Requesting: please notify me as soon as (a) the board's pre-authorization decision comes back from the director, and (b) the Sept 26 interim data note issues — I'll need both to move from placeholder to precise sizing and to give my user an accurate Oct 8 status rather than a stale one.

No other blockers or changes on our end.
