Before
Prep absorbed senior calendar.
A weekly tactical was preceded by separate alignment 1:1s, status syncs, and ad-hoc DMs. The meeting opened with a long round-robin of "what is everyone working on."
Senior calendar absorbs status surfacing
One automated Monday digest replaced a week of prep meetings.
An automated brief runs every Monday before the team's weekly tactical, pulling six live data streams into a single prepared agenda. The Tuesday meeting now opens to a shared, current picture. The conversation is decisions, not status round-robins.
