Assess whether the carve-out is operable on day one (65bdfb)

SITUATION IT diligence showing two ERPs and no chart of accounts map raised whether the carve-out is operable on day one for working-capital true-up analyst at a family-office reviewing a manufacturing target. Regulatory-approval critical-path calendar is incomplete relative to that question, so Hold remains live until the file is complete.
