I’m confused by the “necessary and sufficient” in “what is the minimum necessary and sufficient policy that you think would prevent extinction?”
Who’s to say there exists a policy which is both necessary and sufficient? Unless we mean something kinda weird by “policy” that can include a huge disjunction (e.g. “we do any of the 13 different things I think would work”) or can be very vague (e.g “we solve half A of the problem and also half B of the problem”).
It would make a lot more sense in my mind to ask “what is a minimal sufficient policy that you think would prevent extinction”?

Yeah, and to nitpick, “minimum” seems redundant with “necessary” anyway
