Sunday reset — big Monday ahead. No Krisp meetings were recorded Saturday (weekend). Tomorrow (Monday March 23) is a full 8-meeting day: two Google Accelerator sessions (Chore Focus and Skarvo), a CRM standup with Ash and Cat, GSD time with Ash, an intro with Matthew Knott, a call with David from Gamebreaking Studios, and a Riot TFT May staffing discussion. Two items stand out from the inbox: Jam & Tea's ckwoh replied positively to the UX/UI meeting request — follow up to confirm timing — and Zimran Ahmed from the Wharton Generative AI Lab wrote warmly after GDC. With 30 open Copper tasks (many overdue since late 2025), the CRM standup tomorrow is the right moment to triage.

⚠️ CRM30 Open Copper Tasks — Many Overdue Since Late 2025▾
Copper has 30 open tasks, the oldest due October 2025 (Gamescom follow-ups, DDM, Rogers check-in). Use tomorrow's CRM Standup with Ash and Cat to triage: close what's stale, reassign or push dates on active items, and identify any GDC follow-up tasks that have slipped.
🤝 NETWORKZimran Ahmed (Wharton) — Warm Reply After GDC▾
Zimran replied Fri March 20: "It was so great to meet you f2f!" — enthusiastic post-GDC follow-up referencing the Wharton AI Lab gaming study. He's open to continued collaboration. Good relationship to cultivate; reply while the GDC energy is still fresh.
📋 INTELGoogle Cloud Games Report — Ready to Download▾
Google Cloud sent the Harris Poll games industry report Fri night. Useful for client conversations, accelerator context, and positioning UXIF in the AI+gaming space. Worth a quick skim over the weekend.
Weekly Google Play Apps Accelerator session with Chore Focus — mentor check-in, progress review, and any immediate needs from the company. Recurring weekly.
Weekly Google Play Apps Accelerator session with Skarvo — squad kickoff notes from March 11/12 are in Drive. Discuss diagnostics, key points from the last anchor mentor check-in doc.
Weekly internal CRM review with Ashley and Cat. Good moment to triage the 30 open Copper tasks — close stale ones, push overdue dates, align on active deals and GDC follow-up pipeline.
Weekly working session with Ashley — use this hour to move forward on active proposals, GDC follow-up drafts (FRG, Jam & Tea), or the Xsolla/Riot deliverables.
Intro or check-in with Matthew Knott — not a recurring meeting, suggests a first or occasional conversation. Pull Copper notes to see any prior context before the call.
David (Gamebreaking Studios) / Ashley (UX is Fine)
Ashley is leading this one with David from Gamebreaking Studios — not a recurring meeting, likely an intro or proposal discussion. David may be flagged in Copper; pull any prior context on Gamebreaking Studios before the call.
Staffing planning conversation with Riot for TFT — May timeline suggests ramping for a summer deliverable. Come prepared with available consultants, capacity, and rate structure for potential new work.
ckwoh — Jam & Tea Studio · Re: Availability to meet
"Sounds great. Looking forwards to it." — Positive reply to Jason's outreach about UX/UI meeting. Confirm timing and agenda to close this into a booked call.
