Exit rule
قاعدة الخروج
Definition
The exit rule is the rule that sends a mature branch whose contribution after rent stays negative for two consecutive quarters to a fix-or-exit review. Keeping a loss-making branch open is a capital decision too; the Playbook applies the rule at maturity, after the day-90 review. Each site's exit trigger is written into the board pack in advance.
In plain words
A mature branch that keeps losing money after rent gets a review: fix it or close it.
