Situational Analysis
The meeting began with a brief recap of recent activity. A brief analysis of members current position and trajectory on the value curve showed that while Seth, Hoff and Tank were currently in, or headed to the high value region, Danger’s metrics showed that things had in fact “spiraled out of control”. No solution to this issue was determined at the meeting.
