This whole operation is raising more red flags than a soviet military parade.

See, this could either go terribly or awesomely depending on who you are and what the priorities are of the organization, at least IME.
Claire now has the opportunity to create a new department, a vital department, in her own image. She could, if the priorities of this terribly run organization are to just throw resources at whatever shows the most promise of either solving their problem or someone else's problems (i.e., their actual service/product) and then leave them to their own devices, actually create something great beyond her or their wildest dreams. She is certainly the type.
However, if the company is such that they are unsupportive, refuse to throw extra hands her way, and will refuse to give her the tools and train her in the skills required to do their job correctly and not enforce any of her new procedures, then she's going to have a bad time. Especially with that goddamn spreadsheet.
Tl;dr, this is either a dream-come-true with an incredibly aggravating entrance, or hell on earth. And there's no in between.
Time to git gud at stress relief, Claire

I checked a fan wiki because I was pretty sure Dale wasn't introduced with the gamer feud Bond villain posing, and it turns out his first appearance was as an unusually well-liked COD customer, just chillin' as Marten suddenly doubts the strength of his closest relationships.
I kinda can't help but feel alarmed by the idea of stepping into an isolated environment run by a bunch of cheerfully clueless AI who need a "don't explode" reminder on the wall, being a squishy easily-damaged meatbag and all. All the business-related red flags they're waving would also have sent me running out here in the real world, so it's interesting to see the perspectives of posters here saying that staying for a year and building something could be very helpful to Claire in the long run. I do project-based contract work, so the advice is not applicable to me, but it still feels like I've gained ~business secrets~.
John Allenson:
What I see the two options for Claire at the moment.
1/ Run away screaming.
2/ Don't waste your breath on screaming.
