- Executing CMC and supply chain readiness for NDA filing.
- Managing cash burn to preserve runway through data readouts.

Question #1
Given Lin’s career has been exclusively in early-stage R&D, how does he balance the need to cede operational control for commercialization and manufacturing to an experienced team against his founder’s instinct to maintain tight control over his sole asset?
Question #2
When faced with a potential setback that challenges his carefully managed narrative, such as ambiguous clinical data, does Lin’s focus shift to transparently managing the operational reality or to controlling the external story at all costs?
