COGS Visibility - Escalate Finance Data Access via Bjorn

January 15, 2026 at 3:50 AMoperationalmedium

Situation

Committed to scheduling a tri-party meeting with Ryan and Bjorn to secure finance data access (loaded rates) for Ryan's Intelligence Hub. Finance (Marlon, Kelly) previously denied Ryan's direct requests.

Reasoning

Bjorn has explicitly prioritized COGS reduction as the top focus for Ryan's org. Ryan's tooling to track COGS per ticket is blocked without cost data. Escalating through Bjorn's mandate is the logical path since his priority conflicts with finance's gatekeeping. Ryan cannot demonstrate COGS improvements without visibility into actual costs.

Additional Context

Discussed in Ryan <> Peter Weekly 1:1. Ryan built an Intelligence Hub to track ticket costs but needs engineer loaded rates from finance. Past requests to Marlon and Kelly were denied. Bjorn's COGS mandate provides the leverage to secure access.
