6. Mandate an operational cure schedule constrained strictly to {{remediation_window_hours}}.
7. Detail the specific platform sanctions triggered upon non-compliance, such as buy-box throttling and listing de-indexing.
8. Specify the required format and attendee criteria for the mandatory executive root-cause review meeting.

Constraints
