Whether — Weekly brief
Conditions: Cloudy • Margin: clear of the line • Data as of 2026-10-26

Guidance: Conditions are tightening. Commit to what protects income you have; new bets wait for cheaper money.
Do now:
- Hiring: Only replace people who leave, and hire for roles you can't deliver without
- Spending: Before you approve any optional spend, work out how long it takes to pay back
- Fundraising: If you're planning to raise, get your materials ready now so you decide when to go out
- Roadmap: Keep the core roadmap on schedule, and ship what customers can use this quarter first
- New bets: Keep only the experiments you can stop within a week, each with a review date
Conditions change if: Funding pressure falls 20 pts from 90 to 70 or below, or risk appetite falls 3 pts from 53 to 50 or below.
