Extend personal-health leave to 6/5 with explicit cap and revisit trigger

May 12, 2026 · people · high93% confidence

Peter agreed via DM with Mariah to extend a direct reports unpaid personal-health leave through 6/5, while explicitly stating that extending past 6/1 pushes past his comfort level and that any extension beyond 6/5 will trigger a revisit. The decision balanced Bjorns prior generosity preference (Bjorn was consulted before responding) against Peters own concern about open-endedness. Mariah immediately flagged precedent implications.

Commit engineering to vuln-handling infra/automation at Leadership Roundtable

May 12, 2026 · strategy · high92% confidence

At the 5/11 Leadership Roundtable, Peter accepted an explicit action item to prioritize vulnerability-response infrastructure and automation work in engineering, and to update Chris Baek as the interim process owner. The commitment converts the 5/8 internal-to-engineering commitment (build/test infra to eliminate reactive interrupts) into a cross-functional commitment with Bjorn, Greg, Chris, and Lindsay in the room.

Three-tier board hierarchy formalized — Strategic EPICs / Value Drivers / Tactical Jira

May 5, 2026 · operational · high93% confidence

Aligned with Bjorn on a 3-tier hierarchy: Strategic Board (EPICs requiring CEO-level prioritization), Value Drivers Board (GTM stories), and Tactical Boards (Jira execution). The current PPL board converts to the Strategic Board. Top ~50 only; anything below is wasted prioritization that will need redoing by the time it is worked on. Greg agreed to disagree-and-commit once Peter+Bjorn document the rules and walk him through.
