The longitudinal cohort study, established in 2025, requires instrumentation upgrades to maintain the integrity of the panel through Year 1. We request ₳ 1,240,000 from the reserve, drawn under §4 of the operating agreement, against a milestone proof schedule filed in the supporting documents.
I. Instrumentation requirements
The instrumentation requirements derive from observations made in the Year 0 field report (see the library). Three categories of expenditure are proposed: cohort-retention payments to participants; sensor recalibration and replacement; and an analyst-hour increase to support cleaning of the additional channels.
II. Clinical safety
The instrumentation does not introduce any new intervention. The clinical safety review accordingly considers retention payments and incidental risk only, and is filed in the closing apparatus.
III. Reserve mechanics
Because the request draws on the reserve, supermajority procedures apply. A two-thirds majority of standing votes is required. The full reserve mechanic is described in §4.3 of the operating agreement.
