Post-RESF Consolidated Deliverable Reset

March 13, 2026 at 8:45 PMstrategyhigh

Situation

Decided to deliver a single consolidated update to Lindsay on revised March deliverables after RESF work stabilizes, rather than incremental delay announcements. Nathan will reset all project dates at once.

Reasoning

Multiple small delays erode confidence faster than one honest reset. Waiting until RESF stabilizes ensures the revised schedule is defensible. Powwow with Nathan and Max first to assess impact. Communication discipline — harder short-term hit but preserves long-term credibility.

Additional Context

RESF cutover Monday will divert 2-4 engineers from Nathan's team, making March deliverables impossible. Must communicate to Lindsay/Marketing but avoid trickle truth.

Observed Evidence

Sarah sync and Nathan 1:1 both discuss the same strategy: consolidated update after RESF, avoid incremental bad news.
