1The threshold sets your wave, nothing more
Above it, you go live in January 2027. Below it, July 2027. In both cases you go live.
This is the single most common misunderstanding we encounter, and it costs businesses months. The threshold is a scheduling device, not an exemption, and treating it as an exemption is how companies end up scrambling in 2027.
If you take four things away from this page, make them these.
Above it, you go live in January 2027. Below it, July 2027. In both cases you go live.
Use it to clean data and choose carefully rather than to postpone thinking about it.

Implementation capacity gets scarce before every deadline. Starting now costs less and gets better attention.
No cost, no obligation. We tell you which phase you fall into and what you actually need.
GoldenKey covers every step — start, run, grow — under one golden roof:
