Temporary suspensions, adjustments, or revisions of newly enacted policies are never ideal and should be minimised.

What counts is rapid remediation to contain losses, extraction of lessons to prevent recurrence, and firm resistance to the dissemination of misleading or hostile allegations, which will help both enforcers and those subject to compliance maintain clarity and composure.
