📍 Status 2026-05-12: Persona LP audit + copy polish DONE. Critical path now compresses to offer mechanic decision → sales script → sales training → paid creative → Jun 1 launch. A6/A7 (creative) is now the longest pole. Offer mechanic (A1) is the single biggest risk if it slips past May 15.
Not in scope for Q2 (deferred to Q3): Fiber new-project sourcing pipeline, Content Engine kickoff. Steve Miles' in-flight deals get operational backstop, not priority focus. Workstream C (Fiber Blitz <6-month rule) is an operational quick-win, not a priority.
Jun 1 is 20 days out. Every day of decision-delay collapses creative + sales-training time. If these six don't lock by Friday May 15, the Jun 1 launch is at risk.
| # | Decision | Who decides | Blocking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offer mechanic. 6-mo intro vs 12-mo intro. Which? Both? Different by persona? | Adam + Kelly | LP copy, sales scripts, paid creative, May/Jun offer launches |
| 2 | Intro price floor for Family + Budget. $45? $50? Different per plan? | Adam + Kelly | Margin math, sales talking points, migration test math |
| 3 | May offer = which mechanic launches first? | Adam | Creative production start, sales training |
| 4 | Migration test segment size + criteria. Which fiber-eligibility cohort? How many customers? | Adam + Tyler | GHL build, segmentation queries |
| 5 | Sales team training format. Live session with Heather + Kenzie + Kaden? Recorded SOP? Both? | Adam | Calendar holds, materials prep |
| 6 | GHL dev team scope of work. What is Tyler asking the dev team to build vs configure? | Tyler + Adam | Tyler's first deliverable |

Outcome by Jun 30: Retention + tier-upgrade + testimonial flows live in GHL. Migration test running on a fiber-eligible segment. The Sales/CSR → Infrastructure handoff designed. The end-to-end pipeline works — leads, upsells, retention, and migration all move smoothly through GHL.
| ID | Deliverable | Owner | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| B1 | GHL platform capability audit. What we're paying for vs using, gap list. | Adam (or PM if confirmed) | May 24 |
| B2 | Dev team kickoff + scope of work. What GHL integrations/builds the dev team owns this quarter. | Adam + dev lead | May 28 |
| B3 | Sales/CSR → Infrastructure current-state map. Where leads drop today, between which teams, at which step. | Adam (or PM) | May 24 |
| B4 | Sales/CSR → Infra handoff SOP v1. Written, signed off by sales lead + CSR lead + Infra Ops. | Adam (or PM) | Jun 7 |

| B12 | End-of-Q2 nurture performance read. Retention save rate, tier-upgrade conversion, migration test results. | Adam | Jun 28 |
Outcome by Jun 30: Existing Passings Blitz schedule restricted to projects within 6 months of cross-connect certification. Infrastructure adds community names to its cross-connect notifications so Marketing can apply the rule consistently. Budget freed from >6-month areas redirects to fresher cross-connects + Steve Miles' new-project pipeline support.
| ID | Deliverable | Owner | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | Blitz schedule audit. Pull the fiber projects spreadsheet, tag each scheduled project with cross-connect cert date and age. | Adam (w/ Ryon) | May 22 |
| C2 | Ask Infrastructure for community-name on cross-connect notifications. Surface the small data ask to Infra Ops leadership. | Adam | May 19 |
| C3 | Prune blitz schedule. Drop scheduled spend on projects >6 months past cross-connect (door-knock, door-hang, direct mail, geo-push). | Adam | May 29 |
| C4 | Reallocate freed budget. Direct to fresh cross-connects + Steve's MDU/HOA/SFH demand-gen support. | Adam | Jun 5 |
7 weeks: 3 weeks of intense pre-launch sprint, 1 week of launch, 3 weeks of measure + GHL build-out.
Impact: Every Workstream A deliverable downstream slides. Sales gets trained on a moving target. Site launches Jun 1 without an offer attached, defeating the launch.
Mitigation: Put a meeting on the calendar this week with Kelly. Bring the math: pricing scenarios, margin impact, take-rate model. Force the decision. If Kelly is not available before May 15, escalate — this is the highest-impact decision of the quarter.
Impact: Offers ready but no site to put them on; or site live but persona pages broken. Either way, Jun 1 launch fails.
Mitigation: Verify with web/dev team THIS WEEK that Jun 1 is real and persona pages are part of the launch scope. If site slips, decide whether offers launch on existing pages or wait. Don't find out Jun 1 morning.
Impact: Adam carries both the marketing-side AND the project management — coordinating dev team, mapping handoff seams, integrating the pieces. B-side delivery slips because no one's stitching it together.
Mitigation: Confirm Tyler (or another PM) for the pillar by end of Week 1. If Tyler can't be confirmed, scope down: drop B3/B4 (handoff SOP) to Q3 and keep Q2 focused on the four flows + migration test. Dev team scope (B2) sized to what dev can actually deliver — not a wishlist.
Impact: A9 launches paid traffic to underperforming LPs; ad spend wastes; CAC misses ceiling.
Mitigation: A2 audit is the truth-teller. If Family or Budget LPs need more than copy polish (e.g., structural redesign), surface in Week 1, not Week 4. Plans-pricing canon is the spec of record.
Impact: Wireless customer relationship damage; CSR queue spike.
Mitigation: B8 keeps sample small. B9 offer math protects the customer (clearly better, not a downgrade). CSR informed before launch (overlap with sales training A5 if timing allows).
Impact: A10 + A11 reads are wrong; wrong Q3 decisions.
Mitigation: Tyler validates A9 setup before A9 launches. Test with internal traffic. Cross-check against Sonar activations sheet.
