9 00:00:33.970 ⇒ 00:00:41.520 Payas Parab: Good man. I’m just working on getting this data structure set up for the cog stuff so we can start moving it in.
10 00:00:42.446 ⇒ 00:00:49.829 Payas Parab: They? Finally, I oh, you’re not in that thread. It’s just me and Robert. They finally got us all the assumptions and stuff. So we’re gonna have to kinda like
11 00:00:50.240 ⇒ 00:00:58.599 Payas Parab: redo some stuff, but like they, once we get it in there, I think it’ll like they feel good about it. So we actually have good assumptions, and like structure going in.
12 00:00:59.660 ⇒ 00:01:06.940 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay, perfect. Are you using like a different slack channel? Or is it in your Congo slack? Workspace.
13 00:01:06.940 ⇒ 00:01:09.800 Payas Parab: It’s in the Pungo. Let me let me just add you. It’s really just.
14 00:01:09.800 ⇒ 00:01:13.649 Nicolas Sucari: No, don’t worry. I mean, that’s fine. Don’t doubt me, because I’m not sure about
15 00:01:13.710 ⇒ 00:01:17.130 Nicolas Sucari: what what I mean Robert wants to do about of that.
16 00:01:17.743 ⇒ 00:01:21.859 Nicolas Sucari: Just to understand. Okay, but you’re talking that directly with Jared. Right.
17 00:01:22.250 ⇒ 00:01:23.480 Payas Parab: Yes. Yeah.
18 00:01:23.980 ⇒ 00:01:33.149 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, okay, excellent. Cool. Yeah. So Ryan was, or Lucas were working on every other tasks for Javi.
19 00:01:33.440 ⇒ 00:01:39.330 Nicolas Sucari: I re, I like kind of recreated those tasks in notion, so that we can track that like in a board.
20 00:01:39.330 ⇒ 00:01:39.870 Payas Parab: Sure.
21 00:01:40.430 ⇒ 00:01:44.359 Nicolas Sucari: And I have everything there. I think you you’re you’re able to access that.
22 00:01:44.690 ⇒ 00:01:45.070 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
23 00:01:45.384 ⇒ 00:01:52.940 Nicolas Sucari: I wanna I wanted to ask you about pool parts. Were you able to to see anything on the weather or not? Yet.
24 00:01:53.202 ⇒ 00:02:02.119 Payas Parab: Not yet. I’ve been. I’ve been kind of focused on the Javi stuff for now. But I I can. Yeah. Is there another client sync that I kind of need to work backwards from.
25 00:02:03.140 ⇒ 00:02:10.000 Nicolas Sucari: No, but we need to set like we we will need to set like a deadline for that one, so that we can share.
26 00:02:10.000 ⇒ 00:02:10.620 Payas Parab: Got it.
27 00:02:10.620 ⇒ 00:02:20.930 Nicolas Sucari: With them. I’ll let you tell me, but if it is during next week, it like, maybe we can share something next week before end of year, and that will be great.
28 00:02:21.370 ⇒ 00:02:25.590 Payas Parab: Great. Let me let’s do that, then let’s just set like a
29 00:02:26.300 ⇒ 00:02:30.179 Payas Parab: a client. Deliverable date, and then an internal deadline for me.
30 00:02:30.180 ⇒ 00:02:30.530 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
31 00:02:30.530 ⇒ 00:02:34.680 Payas Parab: Kind of just that would be what do you think is like? Basically like.
32 00:02:35.250 ⇒ 00:02:43.893 Payas Parab: I mean, I think I think there is something there like, I’ve been playing around with some of the data. But like, it’s just like I just need to like, Rip through and like, get some outputs from it right?
33 00:02:44.190 ⇒ 00:03:08.199 Payas Parab: it’s probably like a 3 to 5 h task realistically like maybe 2 to 4. So I like this week, I think, closing out some of this Javi stuff and getting us heat up for renewal by Monday is the top priority. So I think if anything comes out, or any feedback from them on would next Tuesday be a reasonable internal deadline, and then
34 00:03:08.720 ⇒ 00:03:10.829 Payas Parab: may be the client delivery deadline.
35 00:03:11.350 ⇒ 00:03:13.450 Nicolas Sucari: Totally. Yes, yes, I think that’s fine.
36 00:03:13.450 ⇒ 00:03:15.370 Payas Parab: Excellent! Excellent!
37 00:03:15.970 ⇒ 00:03:20.589 Payas Parab: I’m still trying to figure out how to manage all my stuff. So for now I’m just gonna put a
38 00:03:20.680 ⇒ 00:03:25.870 Payas Parab: calendar note for myself for next Tuesday of like internal deadline for
39 00:03:28.560 ⇒ 00:03:31.009 Payas Parab: Let me put like the midday. So
40 00:03:32.030 ⇒ 00:03:39.110 Payas Parab: internal and we can sync if you want or you know what I mean. But I it’s more like, let me just put it on my calendar, and I can
41 00:03:39.500 ⇒ 00:03:40.330 Payas Parab: put it exactly.
42 00:03:40.330 ⇒ 00:03:40.810 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah.
43 00:03:40.810 ⇒ 00:03:41.690 Payas Parab: Fyi.
44 00:03:41.690 ⇒ 00:03:42.310 Nicolas Sucari: Sign it.
45 00:03:42.430 ⇒ 00:03:57.971 Nicolas Sucari: Obviously, yeah, we can sync, or you can send. If you send something through slack, we can go like a sync there. I don’t know. Like we’re gonna have some discussions with Robert and Luton tomorrow, maybe about like everything regarding Pm, stuff and see how we are. Gonna start like,
46 00:03:58.470 ⇒ 00:04:18.770 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, like, what? What’s gonna be our process regarding projects and how to share everything like meeting cadence and all of that. So maybe we will change some stuff next week. Probably we’ll like add some sinks with the clients like every week. I think we’re we. We have that one with Javi, and we have, like our internal meeting with Jabby, for Jabby, too.
47 00:04:18.779 ⇒ 00:04:19.229 Payas Parab: Yeah.
48 00:04:19.230 ⇒ 00:04:33.260 Nicolas Sucari: For Joby. We’re fine for pull parts. Maybe we’ll need to set like a weekly meeting with with Ben or anyone from there. And maybe what I’m doing with with Luke is I’m meeting every Monday morning
49 00:04:33.564 ⇒ 00:04:42.950 Nicolas Sucari: so that we can kind of plan the week plan ahead of the week, like, what? What are the priorities and tasks we are doing for each of the projects? Right? Obviously.
50 00:04:43.200 ⇒ 00:04:52.389 Nicolas Sucari: things change during the week. And maybe, like today, I talk again with him. But if we can do something, or if you want to join that meeting, too, that would be great.
51 00:04:53.160 ⇒ 00:04:57.779 Payas Parab: I I think I think that’s I think that’s super valuable cause. I I definitely am like, just sort of
52 00:04:58.120 ⇒ 00:05:02.990 Payas Parab: ticking off go as it goes. So if we do like some type of like a hey.
53 00:05:03.000 ⇒ 00:05:10.530 Payas Parab: this is this week’s plan. I try to be very in support of that. So yeah, if you want to add me to like whatever that, even if it’s like
54 00:05:10.530 ⇒ 00:05:11.120 Payas Parab: Illinois.
55 00:05:11.120 ⇒ 00:05:27.759 Payas Parab: you and Ryan, then we just like every week. And it’s like, you can know, like, Hey, actually, this joby stuff is fucked so the pool parts will have to wait. I didn’t really like let you know that right? So now you’re like, Hey, we need to give the pool parts update. So that that’s on me. So maybe yeah, let’s do that sync Update. So it’s like at least
56 00:05:27.860 ⇒ 00:05:31.187 Payas Parab: run through the clients I’m working on with you guys.
57 00:05:31.892 ⇒ 00:05:35.979 Payas Parab: Cause I think I think that did work decently. Now I feel good about like
58 00:05:36.720 ⇒ 00:05:51.740 Payas Parab: Tuesday night deadline for me. It gave me time and I knew I didn’t have like. Okay, I get it when I get it. And then Ryan was able to flip these. Now we’re iterating on it. And then tonight, while you guys are asleep, I’m gonna finish up the dashboards and they’ll be ready for tomorrow. So I think, like.
59 00:05:51.740 ⇒ 00:05:52.200 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
60 00:05:52.200 ⇒ 00:05:58.740 Payas Parab: There’s some type of a cadence that like works well here. So I think we can do the same in the beginning of the week when you’re planning with Ryan, feel free to just add.
61 00:05:58.740 ⇒ 00:05:59.270 Payas Parab: yeah,
62 00:06:00.180 ⇒ 00:06:16.050 Nicolas Sucari: And and the idea is like to plan that ahead of the week like to, so that everybody knows what we are gonna be working on, and we can have like, clear tasks for that week. But also what I’m trying to to do with Utam is before the week starts like to
63 00:06:16.080 ⇒ 00:06:24.809 Nicolas Sucari: have a like a bi-weekly meeting, or something like to create backlog and have stuff there prioritized, so that we reach that new week. We know where we
64 00:06:25.135 ⇒ 00:06:35.769 Nicolas Sucari: what are the tasks that we need to be working on, and we can directly plan the week with with the backlog already created. And the request really detailed so that we don’t like
65 00:06:36.423 ⇒ 00:06:39.600 Nicolas Sucari: spend time doing that during the week. Okay, yeah.
66 00:06:40.860 ⇒ 00:06:43.300 Nicolas Sucari: that’s kind of what of what we’re trying
67 00:06:43.350 ⇒ 00:06:50.799 Nicolas Sucari: or I’m trying to do now, so that everyone has like clear, clear expectations. And we know what we are doing. Okay.
68 00:06:51.040 ⇒ 00:06:53.270 Payas Parab: Absolutely sounds great man. Appreciate that.
69 00:06:54.060 ⇒ 00:07:01.669 Nicolas Sucari: Excellent I’ll expect your changes tomorrow, because I’m gonna meet with Robert. He’s gonna share
70 00:07:01.710 ⇒ 00:07:11.449 Nicolas Sucari: how he’s managing all of their your projects in, and maybe we can combine some of this stuff and get to a new process. But yeah, we’ll we’ll let you know.
71 00:07:12.250 ⇒ 00:07:17.040 Payas Parab: Cool. I just sent you an invite for Tuesday as the internal deadline, and like a share out of where we’re at.
72 00:07:17.110 ⇒ 00:07:30.650 Payas Parab: so that should give me enough time. I’ve also been. I’ve underestimated a lot because I’m arrogant and still new to a lot of these types of analysis. So this gives me a lot of time like Tuesday, I think, is like plenty of time to work from.
73 00:07:31.530 ⇒ 00:07:32.339 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, perfect.
74 00:07:32.340 ⇒ 00:07:33.030 Payas Parab: Awesome.
75 00:07:33.354 ⇒ 00:07:38.539 Nicolas Sucari: And yeah, and if you do, you need anything for today’s Davis meeting with a man.
76 00:07:38.540 ⇒ 00:07:42.549 Payas Parab: No, I’m just, and I can quickly flash for you what I’m doing. I just think that like
77 00:07:43.140 ⇒ 00:07:49.009 Payas Parab: we wanna make sure like we’re gonna have to ticket. I’m gonna have to give this to Ryan. But like this is not a trivial build of like.
78 00:07:49.090 ⇒ 00:07:50.739 Payas Parab: Do you see my screen here?
79 00:07:50.740 ⇒ 00:07:51.300 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
80 00:07:52.034 ⇒ 00:07:57.729 Payas Parab: Like, basically, these are the new assumption tables they gave us like a new set of updates
81 00:07:57.770 ⇒ 00:08:01.650 Payas Parab: on like what to assume for these. So like we now have, like these, like
82 00:08:01.670 ⇒ 00:08:10.040 Payas Parab: small sub tables, I tried to think of like, maybe we combine them. But, like realistically, I think, having a bunch of small tables makes more sense.
83 00:08:10.090 ⇒ 00:08:14.890 Payas Parab: just because, like, there’s they vary a lot. And so basically, what I’m trying to do here
84 00:08:14.970 ⇒ 00:08:21.999 Payas Parab: is like they. This is for, like Joby as well as for us, right to like, keep track of like, how the hell we’re calculating all this.
85 00:08:22.440 ⇒ 00:08:33.609 Payas Parab: so yeah, I’m basically, you know, like, these are the raw tables over here that are gonna be imported via 5 Tran, I’ve linked the exact tables. I’m referencing here. And then I’m basically like laying out the steps for
86 00:08:33.630 ⇒ 00:08:34.660 Payas Parab: making
87 00:08:37.909 ⇒ 00:08:51.610 Payas Parab: like making this new table, which is the order cogs. So like, I’m helping like, basically lay out the interior. And part of this is like, yes, I need to like, think through, like, how this logic works to. It’s like we need to show them that like
88 00:08:51.640 ⇒ 00:08:57.559 Payas Parab: this is the logic you guys are setting up so we can’t like. If if something looks off like
89 00:08:57.800 ⇒ 00:09:03.149 Payas Parab: at the end, I can’t be like responsible for, like I laid out for you how we’re doing this.
90 00:09:03.587 ⇒ 00:09:08.530 Payas Parab: It is a little bit of a technical diagram, but like, maybe we can walk them through it and like.
91 00:09:09.389 ⇒ 00:09:19.260 Payas Parab: if needed. But basically, this is what I’m trying to do and prepare for them on. We have some updates around the data strategy stuff. Before that meeting, which is in what an hour and a half.
92 00:09:19.900 ⇒ 00:09:20.590 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
93 00:09:20.590 ⇒ 00:09:35.219 Payas Parab: Trying to get my that amplitude dashboard into Meta Base with our new updated table. And then the last thing is the recharge linkage where we just give an update. We’re like close to solving all those issues this morning. So we’ll get.
94 00:09:35.220 ⇒ 00:09:35.700 Nicolas Sucari: Thanks. Tom.
95 00:09:35.700 ⇒ 00:09:44.959 Payas Parab: That thing teed up for tomorrow. For tomorrow. So yeah, I think we’re good there as well. Yeah, I think I’m gonna focus on this cogs thing because I’d like.
96 00:09:45.090 ⇒ 00:09:48.260 Payas Parab: Jared also wants this. So I’m like, maybe there’s like.
97 00:09:48.990 ⇒ 00:09:58.499 Payas Parab: like, Aman sees the like customer stuff. And he’s like, okay with it. So I think it’s like we need to also convince Jared of our value. Jared Dash Jonathan. So.
98 00:09:59.170 ⇒ 00:09:59.730 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
99 00:10:00.450 ⇒ 00:10:08.620 Nicolas Sucari: just for you to know. Also, like, we post all of the connectors with 5 grand like, we’re not syncing any new data. Now
100 00:10:08.970 ⇒ 00:10:09.670 Nicolas Sucari: it east.
101 00:10:09.670 ⇒ 00:10:35.809 Nicolas Sucari: like we, we put that every every connector, everything on pause until we figure out the cost stuff there. I already like, requested again to review the the tickets because they haven’t. Yeah, they didn’t do anything on the refunds that they were. Say they were gonna do. So I post everything, I think, yesterday or on Tuesday, and we’re waiting for that outcome. And then we can like sync everything again.
102 00:10:35.890 ⇒ 00:10:50.659 Nicolas Sucari: The test with portable I already started seeing all of the gorgeous data. But we run into an error, and they are looking into it. But it’s kind of nice, because, like the CEO and the CTO. Are kind of in a slack channel with us, and they are like actively talking to us.
103 00:10:50.660 ⇒ 00:10:51.400 Payas Parab: Okay, that’s helpful.
104 00:10:51.672 ⇒ 00:10:58.209 Nicolas Sucari: So yeah, that’s super helpful. But yeah, we’ve we’ve not been able to to check all of the data yet. But we’re we’re going.
105 00:10:58.210 ⇒ 00:11:08.380 Payas Parab: Yeah, that that’s okay. I I think, like, my only concern here is like, and I don’t know what your take on. This is like Robert gave me some visibility into it, because he had a 1 on one with them on like.
106 00:11:09.024 ⇒ 00:11:14.380 Nicolas Sucari: There’s a chance they want to like not renew this contract. Right? So then it’s like.
107 00:11:14.530 ⇒ 00:11:18.599 Payas Parab: I don’t know what happens to all these work streams right? Like what sort of happens.
108 00:11:19.260 ⇒ 00:11:24.709 Payas Parab: I think that’s like a question for Robert, but it’s like there’s some inclination that like
109 00:11:24.890 ⇒ 00:11:28.530 Payas Parab: they don’t want to renew. I I don’t know like, so
110 00:11:29.160 ⇒ 00:11:32.400 Payas Parab: I I’m just not sure where they stand on that. So like I, I’m like.
111 00:11:33.470 ⇒ 00:11:40.579 Payas Parab: that’s why, like cause I saw. Do you see his message like I didn’t even get a chance like really dive in? But did you see Robert’s message
112 00:11:42.160 ⇒ 00:11:47.150 Payas Parab: about like, basically by Monday, right? Or like the finalized Monday.
113 00:11:47.690 ⇒ 00:11:48.230 Nicolas Sucari: Yep.
114 00:11:50.720 ⇒ 00:11:55.820 Payas Parab: I’m trying to figure out, okay? So yeah, see? Like.
115 00:11:57.490 ⇒ 00:12:01.249 Payas Parab: oh, okay, okay. They requested a month to month contract.
116 00:12:02.490 ⇒ 00:12:06.499 Payas Parab: Okay? So they do wanna at least somewhat renew. So then maybe we do need to just like
117 00:12:06.570 ⇒ 00:12:14.309 Payas Parab: button up some of this stuff like, I think I think we can button up this cogs one. If we get them this diagram, then we pipeline it. Do you know from your end, like
118 00:12:14.340 ⇒ 00:12:19.710 Payas Parab: building this logic out and like updating all this like this is not a trivial ask. You have a sense of like.
119 00:12:19.720 ⇒ 00:12:24.900 Payas Parab: how long it would take. Just so I can also align their expectations like we.
120 00:12:24.900 ⇒ 00:12:26.159 Nicolas Sucari: I’m not sure.
121 00:12:26.420 ⇒ 00:12:29.420 Payas Parab: Load from portable. All these raw tables
122 00:12:29.500 ⇒ 00:12:34.359 Payas Parab: make updates to the intermediate tables, and then, like, create some final tables from it.
123 00:12:34.560 ⇒ 00:12:45.160 Nicolas Sucari: It shouldn’t be long, I mean, if we have the connection ready between the Google sheet and 5 trend or portable into Snowflake, then, like creating the model it should. It shouldn’t be so difficult right.
124 00:12:45.160 ⇒ 00:12:46.489 Payas Parab: Be terribly long. Okay.
125 00:12:46.490 ⇒ 00:13:01.459 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, I mean, we, we need to maybe ask Ryan. But yeah, it would be. It shouldn’t be so long. I mean, it’s just creating a new model from these tables and setting up some logic in order to get the the results that you’re looking for right.
126 00:13:01.760 ⇒ 00:13:02.450 Payas Parab: Yep.
127 00:13:03.950 ⇒ 00:13:04.580 Nicolas Sucari: Yep.
128 00:13:05.000 ⇒ 00:13:09.050 Payas Parab: Excellent. Alright. Sounds good, man. We’ll chat with them on later, and we’ll we’ll see how it goes.
129 00:13:09.550 ⇒ 00:13:12.430 Nicolas Sucari: Yep, thank you for yes, see you, man, bye, bye.
