Decisions Made

(Updated as the week progresses)

Stories/Impact to Capture

Candidates for Airtable or quoted-impact.md

  • Strategic Huddle (Tue) — listen for cross-project patterns Cathy/Joe/Josh surface that are worth capturing. Could yield [CO-CREATE] / [SOUNDING-BOARD] moments.
  • Nigeria DBT Studio Services (Wed) — tEquity grant moment. Cathy’s project, international scope. Watch for [BRIDGE-BUILD].
  • Reach/Robust framing landing with Josh (Mon) — if the third-leg framework (Resonance) lands, capture as a [STUDIO-BUILD] / strategic-thinking moment.
