Current to 11 Oct 26Eight-week onboarding plan for the Growth tier company brain, owned by Laura Penhaligon, starting 7 Jan 2026 and marked Final on 10 Jan 2026. It sets 8 connectors, 40 users and a 07:00 Berlin time nightly refresh as success criteria.
What it is: a BB-Demo implementation plan for Kesselfeld Software's Growth tier, owned by Laura Penhaligon. It runs in three phases: setup (weeks 1-2), integration and testing (weeks 3-5), and training and handover (weeks 6-8).
Commits: success criteria are "All 8 connectors live and loading data on schedule", "40 users provisioned" and a nightly refresh "by 07:00 Berlin time on business days". Core connectors are due live in week 4 and handover in week 8.
Unusual: the plan states a 7 Jan 2026 start but is dated 10 Jan 2026, so it was finalised after kickoff. Weekly check-ins are on Mondays at 10:00 London time.
Not settled: it states no price, no calendar dates for milestones beyond the start, and no named customer contacts. Service levels are only referenced as "Growth tier SLA" without figures. It is a plan, not a contract.
