What could move it
- The multi-event threshold (at least three within 90 days) sets a high bar for resolution — isolated bad quarters or individual company struggles may not be enough to trigger Yes.
- With more than a year until the deadline, economic conditions, AI adoption rates, and tech sector sentiment could shift substantially before the resolution date.
