⬛ Tier 1 — Decision Layer
Section 1
🚨 Priority Alerts
🔴 Q1 ends 31 March — 12 days. 4 objectives with time_horizon=Now have no linked open tasks (Address Underperformance, Implement Workflow Mgmt, Finance Systems Lead, Build Personal Technical Depth). All are stalled with no active work. Needs triage this week.
🔴 14:30–15:15 GDC + Ramp Project Connect conflicts with Elias 1:1 (14:00–14:45). Both TENTATIVE — but either could be confirmed. Decide which to attend before 13:00. ⚡ CONFLICT
🔴 Project 1396 reply to Seamus is unanswered. Seamus asked yesterday "Are you asking to delay until Mike is comfortable?" — Finance Ops Committee is at 10:30 today. Needs a reply before that meeting.
🟡 All objectives review is 13 days overdue (next_review_due: 2026-03-06). All 15+ active objectives share the same overdue review date — global drift. Q1 close-out review urgently needed.
🟡 Kevin (COO — Repair) check-in is 9 days overdue (due 2026-03-10). No meeting with Kevin today. Needs proactive outreach today — send a brief Slack or suggest a call.
🟡 W156 (Co-Pilot SaaS review) is due today — this is a Niall action. IT Support needs answers to 3 Co-Pilot usage questions. Marked urgent. Triage during Must-Close.
Section 2
🎯 Today's Intent
⚠️ Build window: 09:30–10:30 only (Finance Ops Committee locks at 10:30). That is 1 hour of clean Build time — enough for one focused task only. Afternoon is meeting-heavy. Protect the 09:30 slot.
⚡ TENTATIVE CONFLICT RISK: 15:00–16:00 Rollcard Weekly Status [TENTATIVE] may collapse afternoon if confirmed. Watch for calendar update.
🏗 Build (target 3 — window allows 1 today)
T101
IA roadmap consolidation — gather all IA items/tasks/plans into coherent next steps
Why now: You raised this as a concern last night ("how is my IA roadmap progressing?"). Use the 09:30 slot to pull it together before the day fragments. High priority, due Fri.
Build High Due Fri 20
T091
Provide Viktor with team deliverables calendar (agenda deadlines, report submissions, month-end, payroll, quarterly items)
Why now: Due today. Direct enabler for better proactive tracking in briefings. 20-min task — quick win after T101 if time allows.
Build Due Today
T006
Understand Cube Boards — assess how it can surface information to the business
Due tomorrow but window won't allow 3rd Build today. Defer to tomorrow morning.
Deferred → Fri
📊 Build completion rate (last 3 EODs): 🟡 Tracking — No full EOD build data available yet for this week. On track based on active sessions.
📋 Non-build items due today: 16 ⚠️ Well above 5-cap. Triage ruthlessly in Section 4. Most are alignment/delegation confirmations, not deep work.
Section 3
📅 Meetings Today
09:00–09:30
Morning Briefing (solo)
Prep ✅ — this document
09:30–10:30
BUILD WINDOW 🏗
Solo. Use for T101 (IA roadmap) → T091 if time allows.
10:30–11:15
Finance Operating Committee
Attendees: Gary [OOO — confirm if attending], Seamus, Conleth, Gavin
Prep ⚠️ — Reply to Seamus on project 1396 BEFORE this meeting (W155 / Slack-action from yesterday). Also: Gary OOO — Kat Patyna covering (confirm Kat is across agenda items).
Risk if unprepared: Seamus 1396 question unresolved at the table — exposes a decision gap publicly.
11:30–12:15
AR Report Review — Nicola Iddon, Seamus TENTATIVE
Prep ⚠️ — T104 (ask Nicola re AR adjustment process) makes this a live topic. Check if confirmed.
Cross-ref: W/F: W147 Gavin to send Confluence vertical lead content ahead of meetings — if confirmed, chase now.
Risk if unprepared: AR process question raised without context — Nicola/Seamus discussion goes in circles.
13:30–14:00
Seamus Monthly Check-in
Attendees: Seamus Barry
Prep ⚠️ — Agenda: NetSuite partner transition (T102, T103), 3EN Phase 1 (W014 10 days overdue), Newtec emails, project 1396 status, AR adjustments roadmap (T103), Leapfin plan (T061).
Risk if unprepared: Several critical items in-flight with Seamus — monthly check-in is the leverage point.
14:00–14:45
Niall / Elias 1:1
Attendees: Elias Mark
Prep ⚠️ — T086: Exco sharing plan must be raised today (missed on 16 Mar, due yesterday). Elias check-in is due 21 Mar (2 days). Also: add Exco Report v1 status update.
Risk if unprepared: Elias 1:1 without the Exco sharing plan = another slip on a high-visibility upward management item.
14:30–15:15 ⚡ CONFLICT
GDC + Ramp Project Connect TENTATIVE
Attendees: Momcilo, Gary, Conleth, Richard, Sinead et al. Conflicts with Elias 1:1 (14:00–14:45).
Decision needed before 13:00: Elias 1:1 (higher priority) vs Ramp meeting. Ramp: delegate prep to Sinead/Conleth if you're in Elias.
15:00–16:00
Rollcard Team Weekly Status TENTATIVE
Attendees: Richard, Kevin, Max, Jean, Lee et al.
Prep ⚠️ — T100 (understand latest Ramp status) is due today specifically for this reason. Kevin is in this meeting — opportunity to address 9-day overdue check-in.
Risk: Attending unprepared on Ramp status in front of Kevin and Max — credibility exposure.
15:30–16:15
Gary / Niall 1:1 TENTATIVE
Gary is OOO today — confirm status. If it proceeds: raise W035 (RollCard vendor matrix overdue 6 days), Baker Tilly requests.
17:15–17:45
End of Day Scan (solo)
Log completed tasks, send VIKTOR-FEED, capture any new W/F from today's meetings.

📊 Financial Signals
📅 Deadline: 12 days Q1 2026 closes 31 March — RF2 reforecast formally due. OpEx models still needed per VIKTOR-FEED (Gavin: RF2 revenue updated, OpEx still outstanding). Board pack and reporting window follows immediately.
📈 GAMB (Gambling.com): $3.95 as of 16 Mar 2026 (−6.18% on last close). 52-wk low is $3.92 — stock is near all-time low, well down from $14.95 high. Market cap ~$141M. Significant underperformance this quarter worth monitoring re: affiliate market sentiment.
💱 EUR/USD: 1.1500 (ECB reference rate 18 Mar). Within normal range. Down from 1.1531 (17 Mar). March average ~1.155 — stable but drifting lower vs Feb (avg 1.182). Within the 1.06–1.12 trigger range — currently above it, no flag needed but worth tracking.
🤖 AI/iGaming: AI taking centre stage in iGaming in 2026 — fraud detection, personalisation, safer gambling. Regulatory tightening in LatAm/Africa/Asia. Relevant to FP&A AI adoption objective and BI team capability build.
