Have faculty academic owner accept pilot value and sponsor approve scaling. This response addresses another situation in the same task area: A university digital course project can launch to one faculty now or wait until every department is ready. There, incremental value delivery reduces uncertainty without requiring every unit to launch together. For the current situation—A sponsor wants to continue a costly analytics project after evidence shows target users no longer need its main report—this option would leave the specific need unresolved: sunk spending is not a valid reason to ignore diminished future value.

Have sponsor and product owner approve the minimal integrated value slice. This response addresses another situation in the same task area: A project has limited funding and a high-value feature depends on three low-value preparatory enhancements.
