CGOV.13:5.2 - An accepted uncertainty materializes

A board authorized a bounded market trial, explicitly accepted that it might attract too few customers, set a loss ceiling of twenty, and required stopping at that ceiling. The trial loses eighteen and demand remains below the stated criterion for expansion. The account shows that the trial stayed within its scope and that the stopping procedure is available.

The board declines expansion and uses the result to reconsider the commercial proposal. The loss alone gives no finding of negligent performance. If a later inquiry shows that material demand observations were withheld, that is a different matter requiring an account of the reporting choice and the applicable duty.
