Summary
Four decisions from the weekend. Made strategic decision to launch RLC Plus/Pro re-architecture under a new non-Rocky brand to decouple from expected community fallout around Lewis/Neil departure - this spawned a new pattern (Decouple to Protect Momentum). Protected Max from meetings for 3 days to focus on NARF streamlining. Committed to Anduril attendance with Max. Shared AI development velocity article with Max to guide NARF approach.
Wins
Created new strategic pattern about decoupling to protect momentum. Clear alignment with Bjorn on brand strategy and value driver breakdown.
Challenges
The Lewis/Neil situation continues to require careful navigation. Brand separation adds complexity to GTM.
Learnings
Decoupling is a broader principle than just crisis management - it applies to anything that can be separated to run independently.
What I Learned About Your Decision-Making
You think in blast-radius terms: the RLC rebrand decision was not about branding preference but about minimizing how many things can be damaged by a single external event. You use calendar authority as a resource allocation tool — clearing Max's meetings for 3 days is a direct exercise of CTO power to protect focus on critical-path work. You share curated external content as an implicit directive — the AI velocity article to Max was guidance disguised as enthusiasm, pointing him toward a specific approach for NARF.
Tomorrow's Focus
February priorities: CVE automation, NARF streamlining, Anduril kickoff coordination
