Gari's Assessment URGENT

Marcus needs sign-off on the Q3 budget slides before the board meeting at 11 AM. He flagged cost concerns from the last thread are still unresolved. This has a hard deadline.

Re: Q3 Budget — needs sign-off today

From: Marcus Chen <marcus.chen@company.com> To: Richard Forbes Date: Today, 7:42 AM Gmail

📅 Due: Today

Richard,

Quick flag before the board meeting — I need your sign-off on the Q3 deck by 10:30 AM at the latest. Sarah and I have been going back and forth on the cost projections in slides 8–11, and I want to make sure you're aligned before we present.

The outstanding items from our last conversation (the facilities line item and the headcount justification for Q4) are still flagged as unresolved. Happy to jump on a quick call before 9 if you want to walk through them.

Slides are in the shared Drive folder. Let me know.

Good morning, Richard. Marcus needs your sign-off on the Q3 deck before 10:30 — he flagged the cost projections in slides 8–11 are still unresolved from last week. Claire also sent the updated Summerfest proposal. And Brad finished his first beta week with some good voice feedback worth reading when you have a moment. I've handled 14 others.

Noted: board meeting at 11 AM, open items with Marcus

7:30 AM

Draft a reply to Marcus. Tell him I'll review the slides before 9 and will flag anything I need to discuss.

8:14 AM

Here's a draft — I've kept it brief since you have back-to-backs this morning:

Marcus — I'll have the deck reviewed before 9 and will reply with any questions on the cost projections before your 11 AM. Stand by. Tone controls: Warmer · More Direct · Shorter

📋 Vendor Review — Claire Ostrowski · Today 2:00 PM

Who's in the room: Claire Ostrowski, Account Director at Summerfest Events. You've worked together since March. Last email 2 days ago — she followed up on the open items from the March 12 call. Relationship: warm, professional.

Recent history: Three emails in the last week. Two open items: facilities line item still unresolved, and the exclusivity clause she pushed back on.

Talking point: Lead with the exclusivity clause — she mentioned it twice. Have a position ready.
