Board AI narrative delivered - positioned NARF as lean maintenance enabler
Situation
Delivered board presentation with AI positioned as lean maintenance enabler. Sent high-resolution release plan to board members after meeting. Board reception was stable but not as enthusiastic as expected for NARF - described to Max as uneventful, well received but not a giant splash.
Reasoning
Needed to establish the official AI narrative for investors. Framing AI as enabling lean operations (CVE automation, reduced headcount needs) rather than as a magic solution aligns with realistic expectations. The measured reception suggests board members accepted the narrative without pushback, which clears the path forward even if it was not the splash originally hoped for.
Additional Context
January 2026 board meeting. Follow-up email sent with release plan attachment. Will sync with Bjorn tomorrow AM to get his read on reception before deciding on any follow-up actions.

slack
meeting was uneventful. waiting to see if anything comes from it... I expected NARF to make a giant splash. It... was well received, but not incredibly so
Outcome
Meeting was fine, not exuberant - which makes sense given lack of sales.
