Given Cannondale's stellar reputation for not giving a fuck about aftersales, presumably getting a direct replacement isn't an option
He already asked, they were as helpful as you'd think. There's one on a German breaker's site.
I wondered about the Enve, but I'm not sure about the AC. I made it 400 for the Cannondale working backwards from the geo, but it doesn't look that long when you see the tyre clearance. If it's 400 there's a Ritchey WCS Cross that's 2/3 the price of Enve, but still a painful lesson.

Given Cannondale's stellar reputation for not giving a fuck about aftersales, presumably getting a direct replacement isn't an option. In that case, wouldn't any 1 1/4" tapered carbon road disc fork with 45mm rake do the job? The Enve Road Disc fork comes in a 1 1/4" tapered option, has 43mm rake, which is close enough, so as long as the A-C measurement is close enough that could be an option. Not cheap, admittedly, but that might help him remember to measure twice, cut once.
I was faced with a similar problem with Cycliste used her SuperSix Evo HM to as a sledge to slide down a flight of marble stairs on top of, wrecking the fork. In the end she just got a Lynskey frameset instead.
