Conditions in Q1 2022

Sunny for 8 of 12 weekly readings; Stormy at the close.
Sunny: Capital is available and financing conditions are supportive. The weekly guidance sets the tempo inside that window. The job this quarter is to scale the strongest plays, invest in growth engines, and keep payback discipline steady.
