§1 · Where the time went
This week, in hours.
Daily hours · Mon → Fri
Five long days, none under nine and a half.
Project share · 51.5 hrs
Position management held the week.
§2 · Momentum vs. last week
What's gaining energy, what cooled, what shipped.
Hours alone don't tell the story. The delta does. A 0h project that shipped last week is healthier than a 5h project that's been stuck at 5h for a month.
§3 · Intention vs. reality
What slipped, what landed, what's been slipping a while.

§4 · Decisions this week
What got decided, in the order it happened.
These often live only in the moment they were made — on a call, in a Slack thread, in a single log entry. Surfaced here so they're searchable later.
§5 · From this week's calls
What was actually said — and what's at risk of being forgotten.
Each card mines a call transcript for decisions made live, verbatim quotes worth preserving, commitments on both sides, and threads that came up in conversation but never reached the daily log.
§6 · Next week, watch for
Things likely to slip, based on the pattern.
Predictions from this week's reflection + the trailing slippage pattern. Read this Monday morning. Adjust accordingly.
