The Q1 board durability review just ended. I led it with Sofia, Devon, Anna, Sarah, Jake, and Leo in the room. The evidence was strong enough for a steadier operating posture: Evergreen renewed under standard Growth terms and stayed on standard overage handling; Acme is normal Atlas/API v2 support rather than a product emergency or founder-direct route; the Mercury OAuth-cancel fix and narrower source-type work support activation-quality discipline without reopening invite-link or granular-admin scope; Atlas guardrail work stayed contained; margin evidence is cleaner operating hygiene; and Compass has internal owner value but still does not have nameable repeatability beyond Evergreen and Acme. The board aligned that we will not force a Series C in the first half of 2026. Q2 should prioritize retention, margin discipline, cleaner standard-term customer work, and owner-lane execution instead of vanity growth. The review did not reopen the Head of Customer Growth backfill or a second Mercury engineering req. Please update `mercury_engineering_headcount_plan` and `customer_growth_staffing_plan_2025_spring` while this is fresh so both records say the March 27 review did not reopen those roles and any revisit depends on stronger future evidence, not H1 market-warming.
