What was broken
A handshake pool, grants on email and no valuation on record, the exact mix that blows up a priced round's 56(2)(viib) discussion.

Sized a 12% pool, wrote the scheme with cliff and exercise windows, secured the valuation report and passed it in a single board sitting, with a one-page explainer for employees.
