COGS data access unblocked for Ryan - Bjorn to grant via Kelly

January 21, 2026 at 1:11 AMoperationalmedium

Situation

Convened Bjorn and Ryan to resolve Ryans 6-month block on accessing official COGS data. Ryan had been forced to recreate the data independently, which conflicted with Bjorns H1 directive to use a single official source. Bjorn agreed immediately and will email Kelly Marlin today to grant Ryan full access.

Reasoning

Direct conflict resolution by getting both parties in the same room prevented further miscommunication. Single source of truth is essential - divergent COGS numbers cause downstream problems. Quick unblocking over prolonged escalation. Transparency fixes friction - having all parties hear problem and solution simultaneously prevents future issues.

Additional Context

Ryan was blocked for approximately 6 months. This aligns with H1 planning - Ryan needs official COGS data for cost-per-ticket reduction and support efficiency initiatives. Related tooling initiative to be addressed in H1 planning docs.
