I kind of think it is

A deliberately weak opinion — the speaker floats it instead of asserting it. Three lines here are the double-negative shape 지 않나 싶다 / 지 않았나 싶다, which is how Korean softens a firm view: 이거 아무래도 사업 규모를 좀 축소해야 하지 않나 싶습니다 'I do think we should scale the business down.' A separate use, 나 싶더니, sets up a reversal: [빠르게 이동하나 싶더니] [그대로 자유낙하!] — just when he seemed to be moving fast, he dropped.

Register: works at every level here, from 싶어 to 싶습니다
