Mark and the shop quote connected
YWhat did Mark want from Friday’s call, and what do I owe him?
Searched your meetings · Harbor & Fern weekly, Fri✓

Mark asked for an online shop before launch. You agreed to quote it as phase two, so launch stays on the 15th.

You owe him the phase two shop quote by Thursday, starting with the three lead blends.

“Even just the three main blends would do.”Mark Ellery · Fri 12:04 · from Guacamole

Prep me for my 3pm with Mark. What changed since we last spoke?
Used Guacamole · 2 meetings with Mark

Since Friday: launch moved from the 15th to the 22nd, and the shop is approved as phase two.

Still open: you owe Mark the phase two quote, due Thursday.

Worth asking: which three blends go in the shop first.
