Harvest / Steady-State

proposed

Deliberately run a healthy business for cash, owner income, and longevity, with no intent to grow aggressively or to exit. The opposite of both 'attack' and 'shrink': hold position and milk it.

Why proposed: Proposed extra class. Distinct from divest (which reduces/exits) and from fortify (which is recovery/defense under threat). This is a healthy, deliberate decision to stop chasing growth and optimize for cash and the owner's life — a real and common owner choice that otherwise has nowhere to live in the taxonomy.
