SCHARPDB cloud DB build (Prat Yadav) is blocked on a SCHARP IT credit card being set up. The credit card request is WITH Dr. Jack Barbour (CEO) and he is aware of the blocker. Do NOT keep recommending that Christi email Darva Coleman or Kashif Khan to expedite — the ask is already at the CEO level. Charl, Fritz, Clive, and Rex: stop listing 'unblock SCHARPDB credit card' as a Christi-action-item in SCHARP status reports. Frame it as 'pending with Dr. Barbour, CEO aware' instead. The 15-year-old Dell PowerEdge 2950 running production SQL IS still a real risk, but the mitigation path is already in motion. Only re-raise if: (a) Dr. Barbour signals it's dropped / needs a nudge from Christi, (b) a new DB-dependent project gets blocked by the same delay, or (c) the Dell actually fails.
