Transcript

We keep trying to boil the ocean before we align on the broader stakeholder roadmap. We're gonna be hemorrhaging bandwidth before q four even gets out of discovery. Does that track? Christian, that's exactly what this team needed to hear. We'll go ahead and wrap there. Okay. Bye. How does he even do that? That sentence didn't even make any sense, and everybody respects him. I need that. Need to figure something out. Yes I check my emails. Jargon assistant is now available. Jargon assistant. Situation description. I don't know. Formality and executive processing. There are a few vectors we're still working through in terms of clarity, and we'll want to circle back. Oh my god. Kevin, any thoughts on the client update? Yeah. I I I think before we boil the ocean on the client update, we should take a 10,000 foot view and make sure the connective tissue between the deliverables and stakeholder expectations is actually moving the needle. Well, Kevin, that's a really strong callout. Thank you. I'm dangerous now.
