Reading Q2 targets Checking Martinez proposal thread Reviewing open commitments
What's our top priority this week?
Your highest-leverage move is closing the Martinez proposal revision.
Referenced Q2 revenue target Found open commitment from Thursday Matched scope notes against Drive draft
Reason: it blocks two follow-up decisions, has a Friday deadline, and is the only item tied directly to this month's target.
What should I do next?
Approve the revised scope and send the pricing note. I can draft both, then wait for your review before anything goes out.
