Build the plan:
1. The bridge story — how my past makes the pivot make sense (3 sentences)
2. The skill gaps that matter and the cheapest, fastest way to close each
3. 3 lateral roles that are realistic stepping stones
4. The portfolio / proof of work to build in the next 90 days
5. People to talk to (by role / archetype, with what to ask)
6. Money runway needed and how to extend it if needed
7. Likely failure modes for pivots like this and pre-emptive answers
8. The decision criteria for "this is working" vs. "go back" at the 6-month mark
