๐จ Priority Alerts
๐ด Q1 ends 31 March โ 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.
๐ด 14:30โ15:15 GDC + Ramp Project Connect conflicts with Elias 1:1 (14:00โ14:45). Both TENTATIVE โ but either could be confirmed. Decide which to attend before 13:00. โก CONFLICT
๐ด Project 1396 reply to Seamus is unanswered. Seamus asked yesterday "Are you asking to delay until Mike is comfortable?" โ Finance Ops Committee is at 10:30 today. Needs a reply before that meeting.
๐ก All objectives review is 13 days overdue (next_review_due: 2026-03-06). All 15+ active objectives share the same overdue review date โ global drift. Q1 close-out review urgently needed.
๐ก Kevin (COO โ Repair) check-in is 9 days overdue (due 2026-03-10). No meeting with Kevin today. Needs proactive outreach today โ send a brief Slack or suggest a call.
๐ก W156 (Co-Pilot SaaS review) is due today โ this is a Niall action. IT Support needs answers to 3 Co-Pilot usage questions. Marked urgent. Triage during Must-Close.
Section 2
๐ฏ Today's Intent
โ ๏ธ Build window: 09:30โ10:30 only (Finance Ops Committee locks at 10:30). That is 1 hour of clean Build time โ enough for one focused task only. Afternoon is meeting-heavy. Protect the 09:30 slot.
โก TENTATIVE CONFLICT RISK: 15:00โ16:00 Rollcard Weekly Status [TENTATIVE] may collapse afternoon if confirmed. Watch for calendar update.
๐ Build (target 3 โ window allows 1 today)
T101
IA roadmap consolidation โ 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 โ quick win after T101 if time allows.
Build Due Today
T006
Understand Cube Boards โ assess how it can surface information to the business
Due tomorrow but window won't allow 3rd Build today. Defer to tomorrow morning.
Deferred โ Fri
๐ Build completion rate (last 3 EODs): ๐ก Tracking โ No full EOD build data available yet for this week. On track based on active sessions.
๐ Non-build items due today: 16 โ ๏ธ Well above 5-cap. Triage ruthlessly in Section 4. Most are alignment/delegation confirmations, not deep work.

Finance Operating Committee
Attendees: Gary [OOO โ confirm if attending], Seamus, Conleth, Gavin
Prep โ ๏ธ โ Reply to Seamus on project 1396 BEFORE this meeting (W155 / Slack-action from yesterday). Also: Gary OOO โ Kat Patyna covering (confirm Kat is across agenda items).
Risk if unprepared: Seamus 1396 question unresolved at the table โ exposes a decision gap publicly.
11:30โ12:15
AR Report Review โ Nicola Iddon, Seamus TENTATIVE
Prep โ ๏ธ โ 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 โ if confirmed, chase now.
Risk if unprepared: AR process question raised without context โ Nicola/Seamus discussion goes in circles.
13:30โ14:00
Seamus Monthly Check-in
Attendees: Seamus Barry
Prep โ ๏ธ โ 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 โ monthly check-in is the leverage point.
14:00โ14:45
Niall / Elias 1:1
Attendees: Elias Mark
Prep โ ๏ธ โ 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.
14:30โ15:15 โก CONFLICT
GDC + Ramp Project Connect TENTATIVE
Attendees: Momcilo, Gary, Conleth, Richard, Sinead et al. Conflicts with Elias 1:1 (14:00โ14:45).
Decision needed before 13:00: Elias 1:1 (higher priority) vs Ramp meeting. Ramp: delegate prep to Sinead/Conleth if you're in Elias.
15:00โ16:00
Rollcard Team Weekly Status TENTATIVE
Attendees: Richard, Kevin, Max, Jean, Lee et al.
Prep โ ๏ธ โ T100 (understand latest Ramp status) is due today specifically for this reason. Kevin is in this meeting โ opportunity to address 9-day overdue check-in.
Risk: Attending unprepared on Ramp status in front of Kevin and Max โ credibility exposure.
15:30โ16:15
Gary / Niall 1:1 TENTATIVE
Gary is OOO today โ confirm status. If it proceeds: raise W035 (RollCard vendor matrix overdue 6 days), Baker Tilly requests.
