## Real questions. Real experts.

-   Engineering
    
    Our Postgres connection pool keeps exhausting under load. Where do we start?
    
    Cap pool size to (cores \* 2) + spindles and move long jobs off the request path with PgBouncer in transaction mode.
    
    **Maya Chen**Staff SRE
    
    4.9
    
-   Finance
    
    How should an early SaaS treat annual prepayments in its cash runway model?
    
    Book them as deferred revenue, but model runway on cash collected — count the full prepayment the month it lands.
    
    **David Okonkwo**Fractional CFO

-   Healthcare
    
    Patient on metformin with eGFR dropping to 38 — do we hold or adjust?
    
    Continue but cap at 1000 mg/day below eGFR 45; stop entirely under 30 and recheck renal function in two weeks.
    
    **Dr. Priya Nair**Nephrologist
    
    4.9
    
-   Legal
    
    Is a US-style mutual NDA enforceable against a contractor based in Germany?
    
    Yes, but add a GDPR data-processing clause and a forum choice — German courts will read overbroad scope down hard.
    
    **Helena Brandt**Tech Counsel
    
    4.8
    
-   Insurance
    
    Cyber claim denied citing 'failure to patch'. Any real angle to push back?
    
    Yes — demand the underwriting file. If the control wasn't a stated condition precedent, the denial usually doesn't hold.
    
    **Tomás Rivera**Claims Adjuster
    
    4.9
    
-   Operations
    
    Warehouse pick accuracy stuck at 96%. What moves the needle fastest?
    
    Switch to zone-based batch picking with a scan-to-confirm at putaway. Most errors are upstream, not at the pick.
    
    **Sara Lindqvist**Ops Director

-   Engineering
    
    Our AI agent loops calling the same tool. How do we break the cycle safely?
    
    Add a per-tool call budget plus a dedup guard on identical args, and surface a stuck-state so a human can step in.
