meeting was good i think. room felt fine. but the Feb 13 lead-investor partner meeting is still stuck in my head bc the partner had two pointed questions on retention and i kind of hand-waved one, half-answered the other. not catastrophic, just bad in the specific way where you know they found the soft spot. i keep messing with that slide like the label order is the issue. it's not. the problem is we show top-line logo retention cleanly enough, but the usage cohort gets muddy after month 4 once teams collapse into annual and seat expansion hides the drop. i need a real answer on what we believe is product improvement vs segmentation artifact vs instrumenting this badly in Stripe + app events. leaning pull raw cohort cuts tonight and stop trying to pretty it up -- if i can't say it plainly in the room, deck polish is useless.

Fact 12

Morgan Chen was leaning toward pulling raw cohort cuts on the night of February 13, 2023 and stopping efforts to polish the retention slide, reasoning that deck polish is useless if the result cannot be explained plainly in the room.
