last activity Mar 2 · waiting on Mark's answer
The team had never had a proper look at the design side's thinking and tools. Engineers and sales each needed different pieces to use them on their own.

What changed

Nothing has been recorded since the plan in early March.
The video isn't made
- After the video, sales goes to the market research tool and engineers to the shared kit and the method. In words
How we got here
Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.
From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

c8-D2 No blog post in this cycle; keep it to the internal video. — Mark Parson
c8-D3 Peer tone: "here's what I'm doing over on the design side of the house." Rough sketches and live demos over polished slides. — Mark Parson
