+# Weekly Founder Review — 2026-07-21 (prep note)
+
+> Prepared per `OperatingRhythm.md` § Weekly review (~15 min, agent-prepared,
+> founder-consumed). Review window: 2026-07-18 → 2026-07-21 (continuation of
+> the cycle opened by the 2026-07-18 review).
+
+## Read these (in order)
+
+1. Newest daily brief: `briefs/2026-07-21-daily-brief.md`
+2. `SuccessMilestones.md`
+
+## The one question: did anything move a milestone?
+
+**No milestone status changed this window.** `SuccessMilestones.md` is still
+unchanged since its v0.1 creation (commit d6d5cf1, 2026-07-16): S1 "in
+progress", S2 "started", S3–S12 open. No `DecisionQueue.md` entry recorded a
+status change.
+
+**Milestone-relevant activity did happen:**
+
+- S2 (active operating system): **BINKY-WP-0005 finished** — first Qonto MCP
+  read-only pull executed end-to-end (`finance/qonto-first-pull-2026-07-21.json`);
+  `CostRunRate.md` raised to v2 with real desk-rent and Qonto-fee figures.
+- S2 (workstation independence): DEC-2026-003 (executor cutover, retire cron
+  bridge) remains prepared and unactioned — now 3 days old, all three gates
+  cleared since 2026-07-18.
+
+## RISK-005 watch
+
+RISK-005 ("agentic stack becomes busywork generator instead of progress
+engine") escalates after **two consecutive weeks** of activity without
+milestone movement. The 2026-07-18 review flagged week 1 of 2 as high
+activity, no milestone status change. This window (through 2026-07-21) is
+**still inside week 2** (closes ~2026-07-25) — not yet escalated, but on
+track to trigger RISK-005 if the week ending 2026-07-25 also closes without
+a milestone status change (or a recorded founder decision that one moved).
+Flagging now so it isn't a surprise at the next review.
+
+## Pending founder action (from the 2026-07-21 brief)
+
+- **DEC-2026-003 — Go for executor cutover** (~5 min): all gates cleared,
+  now the oldest open item in the queue; approval retires the workstation
+  cron bridge and completes BINKY-WP-0004.
+- **OH-2026-003 — Qonto plan cost vs. usage**: numbers are now on the table
+  (plan fee 70,80 €/mo, desk HUB31 297,50 €/mo, main balance 2 185,94 €);
+  founder-only call on whether the plan tier is justified. No deadline
+  pressure — can wait for the next office-hour day.
