RESF Impact — Consolidated Marketing Alignment Meeting

March 11, 2026 at 4:45 AMoperationalmedium

Situation

Decided to schedule a single, consolidated meeting with Chris Wolford and Marketing to align on a new delivery schedule once the full RESF impact is known, rather than piecemeal schedule updates.

Reasoning

RESF work may delay March deliverables by 3-4 weeks but exact impact isn't known yet. Giving Marketing incremental bad news is worse than one clear reset once the picture is complete. A single meeting forces the team to quantify total impact before communicating, producing a more accurate and credible revised schedule. Timing for end of next week gives RESF execution a full week to stabilize.

Additional Context

RESF is top engineering priority for next two weeks. Multiple March deliverables at risk. Marketing needs accurate dates for external comms.

Observed Evidence

Fathom action item: 'Schedule end-of-next-week sync w/ Chris + Marketing re: updated schedule'. Meeting summary: 'RESF Churn: Ongoing work with the RESF may require engineering support, potentially delaying March deliverables by 3–4 weeks. Peter will schedule a single, consolidated meeting with Marketing to align on a new schedule once the full impact is known.'
