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.

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.
