The Hollow Shell
What does this mean?
A 10-year slow bleed. Revenue shrinks slightly every year, board size shrinks to the legal minimum, and the organization slowly burns assets to pay a single administrator.
The Path Forward
The Seed
Forces the ultimate reckoning. It requires the board to either secure massive transformative funding immediately or begin the legal process of dissolving to preserve whatever assets remain.

- All-volunteer org with no paid officers — governance signal is neutral (default 50), not absent.
- Financial resilience score in the bottom quartile — reserves and liabilities ratios warrant review.
