Pushed for March ARR review, rejected April as too late

February 20, 2026 at 12:36 AMstrategymedium

Situation

Directed Sarah and Greg to schedule an ARR targets review meeting in March, pushing back on an April date as too late. Wants to ensure the company is on track for revenue targets and can pivot anything needed. Offered personal availability and said format doesn't matter.

Reasoning

Waiting until April for a revenue review leaves too little time to course-correct if things are off track. March gives a checkpoint early enough to pivot strategy, adjust resources, or change approach. Removing excuses for delay by saying format doesn't matter. Consistent with broader push for faster feedback loops and not agonizing when action is needed.

Additional Context

Discussion in DM with Sarah and Greg about scheduling. Someone had suggested April. Peter offered specific availability (evenings of March 17-19) showing personal commitment. Also forwarded Ryan's salary adjustment request to Greg for their next 1:1 — revenue and compensation topics interleaving.

Observed Evidence

Three direct quotes from Peter in DM with Sarah and Greg. Clear direction: March not April, format doesn't matter, focus is on ARR targets and ability to pivot.

I think we need to meet in March to make sure we are on track and pivot anything we need to pivot.

I dont care if its in-person. But we need a review of how we are doing against ARR targets and if we need to do anything differently.
