Verdict

SAFE

Verdict: Hire is safe for a growth team in expansion conditions.

Copy-ready, shareable verdict.

Why (signals)

  • Base rate: 3.72% is below 5%, so capital is moderate.
  • Curve slope: positive (0.61%), supporting risk taking.
  • Tightness 0 vs risk appetite 64 keeps conditions in expansion.

Guardrail

New headcount must repay within 90 days through direct revenue or cost savings.

Reversal trigger

Revisit when tightness rises above 70 or risk appetite falls to or below 50 for 30 consecutive days (current: 0/64).

Assumption locking

Freeze the posture your team is operating under

Lock the posture assumptions to keep debate explicit and prevent silent drift between teams.

Risk posture, threshold tolerance, and stance are stored in the URL.

Use the banner to confirm the lock during reviews.

Operate on the published signals with no bias.

Default tolerance aligned with current thresholds.

Use signal readouts as-is with no narrative overlay.
