Daily Brief · Vantage
Saturday, Oct 24
How we’re doing

Sentiment · on track
78% of yesterday's work pushed a goal forward. The other 22% went to inbound support, which no goal was waiting on.

Why spend $75k+ a year to do this?
That money comes out of the chief of staff line, or out of your own morning. What it buys is the position of the company, which no amount of summarizing will get you to.

What Atlas finds first
$35,000
A goal that stalled for three weeks
Three weeks of a thirteen week quarter, spent on work that was going nowhere.
$40,000
A deal that went quiet for eleven days
The CRM still says open. Winnable on day two, gone by day thirty.
$4,180
A month of charges with no owner
Found on the day they post, rather than at the close of the month.
