📌 Unlinked

32 tasks — needs assigning

— no health

▶ TIER 1 — Decision Layer

🚨 Section 1 — Priority Alerts

🔴 Igor Martinovic — Last Day TODAY (Serbia)

Igor's last day is today Mon 13 Apr (Serbia office). Offboarding must be initiated: IT access removal, HR close-out, Niall to confirm delegation of his responsibilities to Ellen Monaghan. This was flagged in the VIKTOR-FEED and a midday alert on Fri 10 Apr — still needs formal action.

🔴 23 Objectives All Stalled — Q2 Objectives Review URGENT

All 23 objectives show no active linked tasks (all linked tasks are closed/done). The objectives YAML has not been updated since Q1. A Q2 objectives review session is critical this week — rebuild task linkages and set fresh Q2 milestones. Quarterly Workshop Pack (T194) is due Thu 16 Apr.

🟡 GAMB Stock Down ~6% — FY2025 Net Loss + CEO Transition

GAMB down ~6% post FY2025 net loss of $32.9M (record $165M revenue, $14M impairment). 2026 guidance $170–180M. McCrystle CEO transition in May. This affects reforecast planning cycle and investor comms — relevant context for FP&A roadmap this week.

🟡 W/F Overload — 4 Direct Reports at Capacity Risk

Gavin: 26 overdue · Gary: 5 overdue · Seamus: 5 overdue · Conleth: 5 overdue. Combined 41 overdue W/F items across 4 direct reports. Monday is the right day to triage. See Section 6 for detail.

🟡 No Calendar Data for Today

Last VIKTOR-FEED was Thu 9 Apr (for Fri 10). No Monday calendar. Check calendar now and confirm any meetings before 11:30 that might affect the Build window.

📋 Section 2 — Today's Intent

🏗 Build Window — Unknown (no calendar)

No VIKTOR-FEED for Monday. Check calendar now. If no meetings before 11:30 → full morning build window available. If first meeting at e.g. 09:30 → build window is compressed.

Recommended Build Block (3 tasks):

T199

Cost Allocation Report Pack (March) — complete & distribute

⚡ Why Now: Due tomorrow Tue 14 Apr. Month-end deliverable, can't slip. Start today.

DUE TUE

T194

Quarterly Workshop Pack — review all project/OKR/ops data (Apr 22)

⚡ Why Now: Due Thu 16 Apr. Precedes the quarterly workshop. Monday is the planning window.

DUE THU

T171

Build Ramp design questions list (FP&A, Display Name, AI features) — review Viktor draft

⚡ Why Now: Viktor drafted this. Niall reviews + sends to Sinead. Short task, high-signal output for Ramp project.

OVERDUE

⚠️ Build Overload — 7 Build Tasks Available This Week

T171 + T196 (today) + T157 + T158 + T194 + T199 + T200 (this week) = 7 builds vs 3/day target. Suggest deferring: T196 (Finance Intelligence Layer — restart), T157 (casino cost E2E doc), T158 (operational reporting umbrella) to Wed–Fri.

📊 Build Completion Rate (last 3 EODs): Data not available (no EOD files from Fri 10). Resume tracking tonight.

Non-Build tasks today: 15 (above 5-cap 🚨). Triage in Section 4. Priority closes: T201/T202 (NetSuite JE approvals), T204 (HiBob UKG sign), T211 (Igor offboarding). Quick wins first.

📅 Section 3 — Meetings Today

No VIKTOR-FEED — Calendar Inferred

Last feed covered Fri 10 Apr. Monday calendar is unknown. Check calendar immediately and update.
Typical Monday pattern: No fixed recurring meetings until OpCom (Mondays vary). Run EOD Cowork tonight.

ALL DAY 🔴 Igor Martinovic Offboarding — Serbia

Hard deadline. Contact Ellen Monaghan + IT to initiate access removal. Last day = today.

ℹ️ No confirmed meetings from VIKTOR-FEED. Check Outlook now. Known possible meetings: Payroll Function (if Ellen moved to 10:30 as requested), any deferred meetings from last week.

▶ TIER 2 — Intelligence Layer

💹 Section 5 — Financial Signals

Market: GAMB Down ~6%

FY2025 net loss $32.9M (vs record $165M revenue); $14M intangible impairment. 2026 guidance $170–180M. McCrystle CEO transition in May. Reforecast planning cycle and investor comms implications — Niall to factor into FP&A roadmap priorities this week.

AI: Board International launched FP&A Agent + Controller Agent

Automates 3-statement modelling, variance validation, adaptive forecasting inside one platform with deep M365 integration. Relevant benchmark for GAMB's FP&A tooling direction. Airwallex also launched AI assistant for multi-currency finance ops.

Note: Galileo reporting inventory review (Gary Munson task from VIKTOR-FEED) is due by 15 Apr. WhichBingo invoice fraud (£7k missing — Conleth item) still outstanding since Thu 10 Apr.

🚩 Section 6 — Direct Report Flags

DR	Overdue	Due This Week	Most Urgent Item	Flag
Gavin	26	1	[W031] Rollcard model plan (debit loss benchmarking)	🔴 CAPACITY RISK
Gary	5	1 (W198 AP report Tue)	[W164] Update Confluence Finance Ops Commitments	🔴 CAPACITY RISK
Seamus	5	3 (W196 AR overview, W197 bad debt, W202 billing)	[W014] 3EN Phase 1 — check parallel go-live	🔴 CAPACITY RISK

Robert	1	0	[W047] RollCard project process development after paternity leave	–

💡 Monday action: Gavin has 26 overdue W/F items — structural overload, not individual lateness. Consider a batch-close session with Gavin early this week. W190 (Reorg Zoom delegations) is due tomorrow — critical input for org design decisions.

🎯 Section 7 — Objective Alerts

🔴 ALL 23 Objectives Stalled — objectives YAML not updated since Q1

Every objective has its linked tasks as done/closed. The objectives themselves have not been refreshed for Q2. This is a data maintenance issue as much as a delivery issue. Action required: Q2 objectives review session this week. Priority targets (Red/Now):

[Red/Now] Simple Automated: Transition NetSuite partner in Q1 — Q1 has passed, decision on 3EN unresolved
[Red/Now] FP&A: Build non-affiliate revenue drivers, insights, forecasting capability

Amber/Now stalled: Revenue automation, Contract Management, FP&A partnering, AI adoption, OKR structure, upward management, delegation

📌 Quarterly Workshop Pack T194 (due Thu 16 Apr) is the forcing function — objectives must be refreshed before Apr 22 workshop.

🤝 Section 8 — Stakeholder Outreach

⚠️ Stakeholder Matrix Not Updated Since Feb 2026

The stakeholder YAML (last_checkin dates) has not been updated since Feb 2026. All stakeholders are technically overdue based on stale dates. Per LEARNINGS: Kevin (Repair) ~34d+, Opco (Repair) ~41d+, Elias, Colin, Max, Lee all well overdue.

Easy Lunch Runs

Today (Mon): 🏋️ Gym lift — best Monday use. No easy lunch run on Mondays.
This week windows: Tue/Wed/Thu = easy lunch run (12:00–13:00). Aim for 2. Walk any day.
Last session: Tue 7 Apr (lift) + Mon 6 Apr (run) — 6-7 days ago. Fresh week, fresh start.

🗣️ Communication Training — Week 4: Influence

ISO W16 · Cycle week: W4 (16 % 4 = 0) · End every key point with a recommendation. Speak to drive action.

Today's 3-step micro-routine:

• Step 1 (1 min): Pick a topic → ask "What's my ONE point?"

• Step 2 (30–45 sec): Speak it: Context → Point → Impact/Action

• Step 3 (3–5 min): Refine — cut filler words, shorten sentences, strengthen verbs

⚡ Week 4 Focus Rule: End every key point with a recommendation. Speak to drive action.

Before you speak:
• What's my point? Can I say it in one sentence?
• No filler (um, like, kind of, I think)
• 2-second pause after others finish — then respond
