Okay, let’s get started. Two items today. First, the timeline. Design is done, but development is running about a week behind because of the API changes. Anu, can you confirm whether we can absorb that or whether we need to push the launch? Second, budget. We’re at eighty-five percent spend with three weeks to go, so I’d like everyone to flag any new costs before committing. Let’s park the marketing discussion until next week. Any questions?
