Risks
Theologian review capacity has not kept pace with generation output so far this month — first across 60 newly published languages, now specifically for German and Turkish — and this gap is the month's single largest risk carried into the rest of July.
Decisions needed
Leadership: approve seminary/theology-program outreach for German- and Turkish-fluent reviewers, and decide whether to pause new-language breadth until review capacity catches up.
