What this says
Current to 11 Oct 26Check-in on 29 Nov 2024. Helen Marsden reports the brain is working better than expected, with the board pack faster and usage up. She wants more teams added and asked when to talk about the contract for budgeting.
What happened: Natalie Eze checked in with Helen after the board pack went out. Helen said the complaints section took a couple of days instead of about a week, and the arrears reconciliation is now the thing she trusts it for most.
Customer view: Helen values time saved and credibility with the board. Paul's repairs counts are fixed and he now uses his own dashboards.
Commercial: Housing officers and the lettings team are next, all within forty licences, so this is adoption headroom rather than a tier change. Helen also asked when the contract conversation should start, and Natalie said the term runs to September.
Watch: Natalie owes a value summary by the middle of next month and review options in January.

Next steps
Current to 9 Oct 26- Natalie to send the housing cheat sheet today and draft the value summary by the middle of next month.
- Helen to send names for new users early next week, plus the slow questions.
- Natalie to offer quarterly review options in January, with Paul included, and cover the contract timing there.
Risks
Current to 9 Oct 26- Helen's value case rests on credibility with the board, which depends on the data staying reconciled.
- Broad questions are slow and first-time chat users get poor answers, which could dent new teams' confidence.
Opportunities
Current to 9 Oct 26- Housing officers and the lettings team are to be added, using more of the forty Growth licences.
- A value summary drafted from Helen's own numbers can support the renewal case.
