# Today's Hard Questions

**Generated:** 2026-03-05 17:04 AEDT
**Context:** Evening pre-call reflection (what happened today, what didn’t get done, and why)

1. You said launch readiness was the priority—what did you commit to today that still didn’t move, and what specifically blocked it: time, energy, fear, or unclear next step?

2. With worker supply still the bottleneck (20 workers vs 300+ contractors), what concrete action did you avoid today that would have directly improved supply quality or quantity?

3. Grant deadline is now immediate pressure—what did you postpone today on MVP Ventures (bank statements, LOIs, submission prep), and what story are you telling yourself to justify the delay?

4. Fleet ops are degraded with Cog down—what decision are you kicking down the road because it feels risky (rebuild authorization, temporary workaround, ownership reassignment)?

5. If tonight’s call ended with only one decision from you, which single decision would most reduce launch risk by tomorrow—and why hasn’t that decision already been made?
