Also, if you expect this to take off, then by your own admission you are mostly accelerating the current trajectory (which I consider mostly doomed) rather than changing it. Unless you expect it to take off mostly thanks to you?
Surely your expectation that the current trajectory is mostly doomed depends on your expectation of the technical details of the extension of the current trajectory. If technical specifics emerge that shows the current trajectory to be going in a more alignable direction, it may be fine to accelerate.
Sure, if after updating on your discovery, it seems that the current trajectory is not doomed, it might imply accelerating is good. But, here it is very far from being the case.
