24 days until February 7 2026 creates minimum 14-22 day implementation requirements for governance frameworks. January 17 is last viable day for announcements allowing adequate 21-day implementation timelines. Delays beyond January 17 create compressed 14-18 day windows with heightened operational failure risks. Three implementation scenarios exist: announcements enabling 21-day windows, weekend emergency summit, or extended silence creating institutional vacuum. Media countdown coverage will intensify after January 17 creating basculement panic narratives if no frameworks emerge. January 14, 2026 Opposition mobilization will escalate in late January if CPT announces extension rather than departure by February 7.
