Go / No-Go Decision Matrix

Below is an Investor- and Board-Grade GO / NO-GO DECISION MATRIX designed for
Crown Organogenesis Protocols Inc. (COPI).
This matrix integrates technical biology, field performance, economics, and regulatory risk and is suitable for IC review, investor committees, and DENR-linked pilot approvals.


GO / NO-GO DECISION MATRIX

Crown Organogenesis Protocols Inc.

OrgaGen™ | Lab-to-Land™ | RegenCore™ Systems


1. Purpose of the Matrix

To provide a disciplined, objective decision framework that determines whether:

  • The Pilot Program proceeds to commercial scale,
  • Requires technical or economic redesign, or
  • Is halted to prevent capital misallocation.

2. Decision Timing

Formal reviews at:

  • T₁: 6 months (Establishment Gate)
  • T₂: 12 months (Performance Gate)
  • T₃: 24–36 months (Scale-Readiness Gate)

6. Integrated Decision Logic

A. AUTOMATIC GO

  • All technical metrics at GO
  • ≥80% of financial metrics at GO
  • No regulatory NO-GO flags

→ Proceed to commercial scale


B. CONDITIONAL GO

  • Technical GO + some CONDITIONAL
  • Financial metrics within redesign range
  • No systemic biological failures

→ Proceed with optimization & redesign


C. NO-GO

  • Any systemic biological failure
  • Any regulatory NO-GO
  • Unit economics exceed thresholds materially

→ Terminate or redesign before further capital deployment


7. Risk Escalation Triggers

Immediate escalation if:

  • Sudden mortality clusters
  • Unexpected genetic instability
  • Regulatory reclassification risk
  • Biosecurity breach
  • Market collapse impacting economics

8. Governance & Accountability

  • Scientific Director: biological sign-off
  • CFO / Investment Lead: economic sign-off
  • ESG & Compliance Officer: regulatory sign-off
  • Board / IC: final decision authority

All decisions documented and auditable.


9. Investor-Facing Statement

“Capital is deployed only when biology, economics, and compliance converge. This matrix ensures Crown Organogenesis Protocols Inc. scales with discipline—not optimism.”


10. Strategic Value

This matrix:

  • Signals institutional seriousness
  • Reduces downside risk
  • Accelerates investor confidence
  • Aligns science with capital allocation
