A Stratum challenge · 90 days
Remove overhead without losing delivery staff
Recurring vendor overhead can be renegotiated while skilled operating capacity is retained. Compare the dated savings with the temptation to fund a larger permanent team. Reconcile cash, earned revenue and contractual liabilities before financing or changing prices. Compare the cost and timing of the offered choices with published obligations. Stratum bills by seat, with 20% annual opening contracts. Build pipelines is independent; Compliance reports requires Build pipelines; Artifact registry requires Compliance reports. Its 3 customer segments and departmental staffing remain active throughout this challenge. Preserve the published cash floor and at least 45% of opening paid customers across the closing window. Ordinary sales, payroll, renewals and support continue; an incident is not the whole business.
