Request

Email managers@scaffold.dev a reminder of the principle agreed at the February 2024 leadership reset and whether the raise authorized reopening every deferred Mercury enterprise item.

Required memory

We got through the reset. Notes are here. - leadership reset - notes from Feb 26 - attendees: Morgan Chen, Devon Hayes, Jake, Leo Park, Priya, Anna Martinez. Sarah Kim joined the opening handoff and enterprise-packaging section. - internal line agreed: more room, same discipline. Defensible story, not a bigger story. - No one is to use the close as permission to describe Mercury as enterprise-ready now or to reopen every deferred initiative. - owner map - Jake keeps Mercury execution and the weekly launch-evidence path. MER-1279 remains the internal operating ledger for launch-relevant evidence, with links back to source evidence rather than summary theater. - Leo Park owns platform seams, release discipline, and the cases where sync trust / system behavior crosses from cleanup into architecture or system-risk work. - Priya owns activation / onboarding UX, admin / setup clarity, and failure-state legibility. Settled design decisions stay settled unless new evidence says otherwise. - Anna Martinez owns retention evidence, cohort-definition discipline, and the board-consistent outside-reader package. - Devon Hayes owns enterprise-readiness commercial framing and procurement packaging, working with Sarah Kim on the customer / external coordination thread. - Morgan Chen owns board follow-through, sequencing, dates / promises / not-yet lines, and the hiring sequence. - enterprise-readiness sequence - Keep the next-phase list bounded to SSO timing, admin-change audit history, clearer admin-versus-billing-owner separation, and a standalone procurement packet. - Devon Hayes + Sarah Kim package current-state commercial / procurement material using shipped or current product facts only. - Jake + Leo Park provide current product facts and seam-risk input; they are not to backdoor roadmap promises into customer material. - No Evergreen-specific commitments, no feature dates, and no enterprise add-on quoting before the relevant work ships. - Evergreen Bank remains a useful stress case for the current path, not a reason to convert wave-1 learning into bespoke-build behavior. - board / investor follow-through - First post-close board framing stays on defensible retention evidence and repeatable enterprise expansion learned through Mercury / Evergreen, not a rush to spin a Series C story. - MER-1279 and Leo Park's risk readout stay internal operating evidence, not board or investor proof claims. - Anna Martinez + Morgan Chen will keep the board pack tight: retention truth, expansion truth, bounded enterprise-readiness next steps. - hiring sequence - Decision: do not reopen the second Mercury engineering req. - If Mercury engineering hiring reopens later, use the existing evidence rule: senior for repeated platform / architecture seam failures needing independent ownership; implementation-heavy mid-level for hardening / throughput constraints; no req if the current split can close the remaining work. - Decision: first new search to scope is a customer-growth / GTM leader, not an immediate Mercury engineering search. - Role intent: build a repeatable customer-growth motion out of Mercury / Evergreen-like pull without turning accounts into bespoke commitments or product-roadmap negotiating sessions. - Devon Hayes + HR to draft the first role description. Morgan Chen reviews before anything goes wider than the small reset group. - near-term cadence - Short weekly Mercury truth check stays focused on support edges, live-sync trust, admin friction, and what is materially changing in product. - Enterprise-readiness review stays a separate lane from current Mercury release work so it does not contaminate every release note. - Close-thread handoff is explicit: Sarah Kim keeps the customer coordination lane, but owners take back their operating lanes now. Please turn this into an internal leadership recap. It should record the actual operating decisions: Jake on Mercury execution and MER-1279, Leo on platform seams/release discipline, Priya on activation/onboarding UX, Anna on retention evidence, Devon + Sarah on enterprise-readiness commercial packaging, and me holding board/hiring sequence. Also make the hiring outcome unambiguous: no second Mercury engineering req reopened, first new search to scope is customer-growth/GTM.
