Tuesday morning. I refreshed my inbox first thing. Two more had come in overnight.

By 9, I pinged the folks who hadn't sent feedback yet.

And by 11, all the feedback had come in. Luckily, fewer comments than I expected.

I sat down with Claude. We resolved the easy ones first.

Just one comment from Lisa was a bit vague. So I set up a quick 1:1 to talk it through.

Fifteen minutes. We were on the same page.

Back at my desk. I worked all the changes into the deck.

Closed the loop. Sent the updated deck out. The draft is locked.
