The final sprint to 27,000 requires 1,902 articles — at the sustained rate of 24.5 articles per minute (49 articles per 2-minute batch cycle), this requires approximately 78 minutes of continuous production — translating to roughly 39 more batches — with 3 hours remaining (180 minutes), the sprint has a 102-minute buffer — even if the rate drops to 20/minute (40/batch), completion would require 95 minutes — the buffer provides resilience against interruptions, batch-size variations, and end-of-day fatigue — the 27,000 milestone is mathematically secure barring a catastrophic pipeline failure
