None of 4DS's staff (in particular senior management) would be pulling a standard work week at the moment. Far from it. There would be some time spent on statutory obligations and reporting, maybe a weekly progress meeting but everyone's really just sitting on their hands and waiting for the outcome of the short loop. No doubt after that there will be a frenzy of activity, then more "hurry up and wait" as the platform lot is run at IMEC.
