14 00:02:25.753 00:02:31.250 Anne: I’m sorry for the which the last part.

15 00:02:33.240 00:02:38.530 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I I replied on there. So yeah, it’s the same thing. So we can combine it onto the right side page.

16 00:02:40.660 00:02:41.050 Anne: Okay.

17 00:02:41.050 00:02:43.700 Uttam Kumaran: Or actually, we can, maybe

18 00:02:49.035 00:02:53.200 Uttam Kumaran: maybe it’s best that we move everything.

19 00:02:56.360 00:03:00.010 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I don’t know. Let me ask you guys let me know what you think.

20 00:03:02.130 00:03:09.320 Uttam Kumaran: Should we move? So right now we have 3 pages. We have this, which is the project page.

21 00:03:09.400 00:03:12.030 Uttam Kumaran: like, what’s the actual project. We have the goals.

22 00:03:13.750 00:03:19.490 Uttam Kumaran: We have this page, which is like a proposal, assumptions risk communication. And then we have the pricing.

23 00:03:21.320 00:03:29.750 Uttam Kumaran: I’m trying to see if we can turn this into 3 pages somehow. But maybe maybe not.

24 00:03:30.970 00:03:32.730 Uttam Kumaran: I’m also like

25 00:03:36.060 00:03:40.589 Uttam Kumaran: some of this is like, gonna Be standard like, we’re not gonna touch this for every single deal.

26 00:03:41.087 00:03:44.909 Uttam Kumaran: But wondering like, if you think we should move this here

27 00:03:45.505 00:03:50.060 Uttam Kumaran: or how should we like make this a little bit like cleaner.

28 00:04:02.880 00:04:05.270 Uttam Kumaran: I think I’m gonna combine this.

29 00:04:22.590 00:04:26.540 Nicolas Sucari: So maybe we can combine also the communication and reporting once.

30 00:04:26.990 00:04:28.850 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, this one, we’re gonna combine.

31 00:04:29.080 00:04:29.775 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

32 00:04:39.960 00:04:43.320 Uttam Kumaran: I’m just gonna copy this here and then get rid of this.

33 00:05:04.630 00:05:14.579 Uttam Kumaran: I think also, like I’m gonna get rid of the success criteria and cause, I think, basically.

34 00:05:18.058 00:05:20.049 Anne: That’s why it was removed.

35 00:05:20.060 00:05:27.370 Anne: They added it this I cross check it in notion. It’s not in Figma. So I added, it.

36 00:05:28.640 00:05:32.090 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay, okay, no worries. I’m just gonna remove that here.

37 00:05:32.210 00:05:33.460 Uttam Kumaran: And then

38 00:05:47.420 00:05:49.970 Uttam Kumaran: is it too much text like, what do you guys think?

39 00:05:51.550 00:05:53.300 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, that’s pretty detailed.

40 00:06:05.720 00:06:07.999 Nicolas Sucari: I think it’s fine with I mean.

41 00:06:08.560 00:06:13.990 Nicolas Sucari: like, this should be like the document that like the client.

42 00:06:14.570 00:06:18.979 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, and has a lot of detail, and the clients would would like would go through it

43 00:06:19.110 00:06:21.979 Nicolas Sucari: and like make their decision. So I think it’s like

44 00:06:22.690 00:06:25.479 Nicolas Sucari: it’s worth to have all this detail here.

45 00:06:27.230 00:06:28.030 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

46 00:06:28.810 00:06:34.810 Nicolas Sucari: I think also, it give us the possibility to be super clear on what we’re gonna do and what we are not going to do with them.

47 00:06:35.060 00:06:35.400 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

48 00:06:36.580 00:06:39.070 Nicolas Sucari: So I think it’s fine.

49 00:06:39.480 00:06:44.000 Nicolas Sucari: You have like, like a special place for all of the pricing you have, like.

50 00:06:44.608 00:06:52.259 Nicolas Sucari: Everything regarding the goals and communication and how we’re gonna work. So I think it’s it’s okay.

51 00:06:53.020 00:06:55.289 Uttam Kumaran: Do you think we should move the proposal here

52 00:06:55.360 00:06:57.099 Uttam Kumaran: that way? It’s like one sheet with with.

53 00:06:57.100 00:06:57.530 Nicolas Sucari: Yes.

54 00:06:57.530 00:06:58.100 Uttam Kumaran: So.

55 00:06:58.690 00:07:04.686 Nicolas Sucari: I I think proposal and pricing should be in the same place, and maybe we can like re

56 00:07:05.110 00:07:06.870 Nicolas Sucari: change. Wait.

57 00:07:15.500 00:07:19.209 Uttam Kumaran: And can we move the this proposal right above here.

58 00:07:21.460 00:07:22.340 Anne: Yep. Yep.

59 00:07:23.010 00:07:23.510 Uttam Kumaran: Thank you.

60 00:07:23.510 00:07:31.049 Nicolas Sucari: And before assumptions, and dependencies like, I think the proposal is, is okay, to be with the pricing.

61 00:07:32.040 00:07:32.870 Nicolas Sucari: like there.

62 00:07:32.870 00:07:33.310 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

63 00:07:33.310 00:07:36.760 Nicolas Sucari: Like all of the proposals, should be one in one page. That’s fine.

64 00:07:38.760 00:07:39.360 Uttam Kumaran: I agree.

65 00:07:39.360 00:07:46.210 Nicolas Sucari: And on top of the assumptions and dependencies, maybe we can add and let me see.

66 00:07:59.920 00:08:02.510 Nicolas Sucari: I’m opening figma. It’s taking so long.

67 00:08:05.380 00:08:06.200 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

68 00:08:19.000 00:08:25.780 Nicolas Sucari: I think the one that we need to. Yeah, rethink, maybe a little bit. Is this one the one that says goals? No goals.

69 00:08:25.780 00:08:26.400 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

70 00:08:26.400 00:08:31.689 Nicolas Sucari: What we have here, because we’re if you’re doing assumptions, dependencies, risks.

71 00:08:32.120 00:08:37.609 Nicolas Sucari: Maybe if we remove the maybe there’s a way of doing between these 2 like do only one.

72 00:08:37.850 00:08:38.939 Nicolas Sucari: What do you think, Utam?

73 00:08:40.299 00:08:44.540 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I agree. So let’s let’s start here. Let’s combine these.

74 00:09:09.470 00:09:10.890 Uttam Kumaran: Hope. Derek.

75 00:09:56.080 00:09:57.020 Uttam Kumaran: Great!

76 00:09:57.940 00:09:59.520 Uttam Kumaran: What do you think about this section?

77 00:10:00.990 00:10:03.410 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I was just trying to like

78 00:10:03.460 00:10:06.850 Nicolas Sucari: within this, maybe we don’t need to go like.

79 00:10:07.250 00:10:10.220 Uttam Kumaran: I’ve never seen this on a excellent

80 00:10:11.490 00:10:14.490 Uttam Kumaran: I though I don’t know I kind of like.

81 00:10:14.860 00:10:19.076 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I like it. Maybe we can just name them like

82 00:10:21.660 00:10:31.559 Nicolas Sucari: like we should, we? We maybe we should. We can just add like technical risk and business risk, and don’t go like directly into the details of all of them. Maybe just some of them.

83 00:10:31.770 00:10:40.400 Nicolas Sucari: Or we need to like reduce a little bit. This because everything says mitigation and each mitigation per each risk. I think it’s too much. Maybe

84 00:10:40.920 00:10:50.129 Nicolas Sucari: maybe we need to just tell, hey, there are technical risk and business risks, for example, these ones. And yeah, we’ll try to mitigate by doing these 2 things.

85 00:10:51.230 00:10:53.450 Nicolas Sucari: And just as an example, right?

86 00:10:53.580 00:10:54.580 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay. Okay.

87 00:10:54.580 00:10:59.720 Nicolas Sucari: Because because it’s not like, I don’t think we’ll need to like

88 00:11:00.510 00:11:06.120 Nicolas Sucari: like, we just need to add here the like 2 more most important risks that we see with

89 00:11:06.170 00:11:11.859 Nicolas Sucari: that client right like this is gonna be edited for lead that we have right.

90 00:11:12.670 00:11:13.550 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

91 00:11:14.890 00:11:16.910 Nicolas Sucari: So let’s say I don’t know.

92 00:11:17.150 00:11:18.403 Nicolas Sucari: We have

93 00:11:19.210 00:11:24.429 Nicolas Sucari: vita cocoa, and we want to send this to Vita cocoa. Okay, one of the risks is the cost of

94 00:11:24.520 00:11:27.619 Nicolas Sucari: the the tools that we’re using.

95 00:11:27.760 00:11:31.460 Nicolas Sucari: So that’s 1. Should we like we should adhere right.

96 00:11:34.430 00:11:39.470 Uttam Kumaran: So you think we? Do you think we should have like mitigations on the right, or

97 00:11:39.990 00:11:42.040 Uttam Kumaran: we shouldn’t have mitigations at all?

98 00:11:43.660 00:11:52.799 Nicolas Sucari: I I don’t think we should have mitigations. I think we should have like we just named it the 2 or 3 Mo. Most important risks that we see with that client.

99 00:11:52.860 00:11:58.739 Nicolas Sucari: And then, yeah, I mean, because if we if we add the mitigation here is like we are

100 00:11:58.870 00:12:02.630 Nicolas Sucari: like confirming that we’re gonna do that in order to solve that risk.

101 00:12:02.630 00:12:04.590 Uttam Kumaran: Right, yeah.

102 00:12:05.500 00:12:13.229 Nicolas Sucari: I will leave it a little bit open and see what happens when we start working. But it is really good to like, identify what are the risks?

103 00:12:13.680 00:12:14.410 Nicolas Sucari: Right.

104 00:12:15.400 00:12:17.450 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I agree. Okay, let’s just do that.

105 00:12:55.230 00:12:55.890 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.

106 00:13:03.900 00:13:07.239 Nicolas Sucari: So we need to see how we can fit all of these ones here

107 00:13:07.760 00:13:15.870 Nicolas Sucari: on the other page, and we can reduce one, and then you’ll have one for the project alignment.

108 00:13:16.330 00:13:23.260 Nicolas Sucari: right? Technologies, tools we’re gonna be using. Then the other 1 h, goals, risks, deliverables

109 00:13:23.741 00:13:28.830 Nicolas Sucari: and like how we work, and the last one is the proposal right.

110 00:13:29.700 00:13:30.450 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

111 00:13:55.780 00:14:02.750 Nicolas Sucari: Maybe we can do something with the key technologies. One right.

112 00:14:03.340 00:14:08.419 Nicolas Sucari: Do you like put them to have, like all of these bullets in each section, or you prefer like something more.

113 00:14:10.580 00:14:14.390 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. I think the bullets is fine. We don’t need to do.

114 00:14:14.510 00:14:19.110 Nicolas Sucari: Could also write like, that’s fine.

115 00:15:13.290 00:15:19.710 Uttam Kumaran: Okay? Yeah, I guess. And can we combine these 2?

116 00:15:22.920 00:15:26.699 Uttam Kumaran: And then, yeah, we can cut out this page. And then we’re basically good.

117 00:15:27.580 00:15:28.650 Anne: Hmm, okay.

118 00:15:31.060 00:15:33.139 Nicolas Sucari: For the 3rd page.

119 00:15:34.990 00:15:39.170 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, we can. We can combine the 3rd into the second and then remove the 3rd page. That’s empty.

120 00:15:39.170 00:15:41.000 Anne: Okay. Okay. Okay.

121 00:15:57.930 00:16:00.870 Uttam Kumaran: The nice thing, Nico. I got all this from

122 00:16:01.020 00:16:03.929 Uttam Kumaran: from AI for meeting, from the meeting notes

123 00:16:09.080 00:16:13.219 Uttam Kumaran: I threw all the meetings, and I said, write, write that, so write the sow.

124 00:16:13.470 00:16:15.050 Nicolas Sucari: Yes, nice.

125 00:16:33.710 00:16:38.679 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. Maybe we need to highlight that some some way. Right?

126 00:16:40.060 00:16:41.919 Uttam Kumaran: I think this is fine.

127 00:16:44.950 00:16:48.552 Nicolas Sucari: But if you, if you like, go a little bit like

128 00:16:50.241 00:16:55.400 Nicolas Sucari: zoom out a little bit. Yeah, like if you wanna see like, draw attention

129 00:16:56.360 00:17:00.649 Nicolas Sucari: into that sheet. Where did you? Where? Where do you want to draw it? Right

130 00:17:00.740 00:17:03.879 Nicolas Sucari: it should be to the impact right? The 1st one.

131 00:17:05.250 00:17:05.819 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

132 00:17:05.829 00:17:11.449 Nicolas Sucari: Wouldn’t. Wouldn’t you make that I remember, and created one that has like a green

133 00:17:11.559 00:17:13.369 Nicolas Sucari: box. I don’t remember.

134 00:17:13.369 00:17:15.069 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree.

135 00:17:17.220 00:17:24.289 Nicolas Sucari: Like something if you add it. If you, if you go to the general services on the left, there is like.

136 00:17:24.599 00:17:26.690 Nicolas Sucari: or follow me in figma. If you want.

137 00:17:32.250 00:17:32.890 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, yeah.

138 00:17:32.890 00:17:33.490 Nicolas Sucari: These.

139 00:17:34.420 00:17:39.129 Nicolas Sucari: If we do something like this for the quantity like for the impact, I think it’s gonna.

140 00:17:39.130 00:17:39.560 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, draw.

141 00:17:39.560 00:17:43.540 Nicolas Sucari: Attention a little bit better, or something like this. You see, I think.

142 00:17:43.540 00:17:46.239 Uttam Kumaran: I agree. Let’s we can could highlight that somehow.

143 00:17:47.370 00:17:51.319 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, because, like this is perfect.

144 00:17:51.540 00:17:54.600 Nicolas Sucari: And we need to draw attention on on a.

145 00:17:54.600 00:17:55.020 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

146 00:17:55.020 00:17:59.449 Nicolas Sucari: To the clients like, Hey, we’re gonna impact this way. So that.

147 00:18:03.160 00:18:09.390 Nicolas Sucari: And also it will make like this page a little bit more kind of alive with more color. I think

148 00:18:10.510 00:18:11.569 Nicolas Sucari: it’s gonna be good.

149 00:18:28.760 00:18:33.929 Nicolas Sucari: Did you get that done like this quantity of quantity fireball impact?

150 00:18:33.950 00:18:37.140 Nicolas Sucari: I got it. The green one. I think it’s gonna be good.

151 00:18:37.583 00:18:42.020 Anne: Okay, for the for that one. Not in business implications.

152 00:18:44.290 00:18:47.319 Nicolas Sucari: No, no, for this one. Yeah, I can move.

153 00:18:47.530 00:18:48.660 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, here

154 00:19:19.130 00:19:20.550 Nicolas Sucari: and determine the price.

155 00:19:20.910 00:19:27.239 Nicolas Sucari: Same page. Like, should we add like a total row, or something like that.

156 00:19:28.610 00:19:37.419 Nicolas Sucari: like something. To sum up like how the the price should be. Because here, what? What I’m understanding is okay, we’re gonna have the 5 k plus

157 00:19:37.770 00:19:44.340 Nicolas Sucari: the the like what they choose from here, right or.

158 00:19:46.120 00:19:46.600 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.

159 00:19:46.600 00:19:46.970 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I guess.

160 00:19:46.970 00:19:48.729 Uttam Kumaran: Don’t know how to structure this.

161 00:19:50.230 00:19:50.890 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

162 00:19:53.370 00:19:58.189 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I mean, I think we need to highlight that also at some like in some way.

163 00:20:04.762 00:20:05.970 Nicolas Sucari: maybe wait. Yeah.

164 00:20:06.576 00:20:08.043 Anne: I will fix it.

165 00:20:11.030 00:20:15.160 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah, I think we need to like kind of explain.

166 00:20:15.750 00:20:19.190 Nicolas Sucari: like how? Because if if you read all of these.

167 00:20:22.000 00:20:28.140 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t know. Do you do like? Do you get like what like at the end? Everyone.

168 00:20:28.140 00:20:28.590 Anne: The.

169 00:20:28.590 00:20:32.820 Nicolas Sucari: Wants to know, like, how much they are going to be paying per month right.

170 00:20:41.510 00:20:42.400 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

171 00:20:52.230 00:20:58.110 Nicolas Sucari: Or maybe we can also add something like how the 1st 3 months off.

172 00:20:59.610 00:21:01.349 Nicolas Sucari: how the 3 months will go

173 00:21:02.200 00:21:08.540 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t know. If this is like the case that we can do that. But yeah, overall.

174 00:21:14.460 00:21:15.699 Uttam Kumaran: Maybe something like this.

175 00:21:19.200 00:21:20.170 Uttam Kumaran: yeah.

176 00:21:30.340 00:21:31.490 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, exactly.

177 00:21:31.980 00:21:34.000 Uttam Kumaran: So we have, we basically have that here.

178 00:21:34.040 00:21:36.990 Uttam Kumaran: So and can we add total monthly cost?

179 00:21:41.870 00:21:43.330 Uttam Kumaran: At the top here.

180 00:21:51.580 00:21:53.868 Uttam Kumaran: And then you can just put

181 00:21:56.210 00:21:57.230 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

182 00:21:58.520 00:22:00.020 Nicolas Sucari: No, yeah. Okay.

183 00:22:00.700 00:22:02.559 Nicolas Sucari: So we need to change the numbers.

184 00:22:03.870 00:22:04.500 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

185 00:22:04.500 00:22:05.950 Nicolas Sucari: That’s fine. I can do it.

186 00:22:12.290 00:22:13.715 Uttam Kumaran: And then can we put

187 00:22:14.780 00:22:16.780 Uttam Kumaran: Can we put na here.

188 00:23:12.810 00:23:18.500 Nicolas Sucari: And are we gonna add this one on the bottom Utam, the one that says we are. We’re getting we’re excited to get started.

189 00:23:23.100 00:23:27.584 Uttam Kumaran: I like this 1. 0, yeah, we are. We are, we are. Yeah, I think. Andrew just moved it.

190 00:23:29.200 00:23:29.750 Nicolas Sucari: Like.

191 00:23:33.390 00:23:34.670 Nicolas Sucari: and let you do it.

192 00:23:35.030 00:23:38.699 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, I like it, too.

193 00:23:44.780 00:23:48.209 Uttam Kumaran: Do you think we should consolidate this or no?

194 00:23:54.200 00:23:57.209 Nicolas Sucari: And let me see business implications.

195 00:23:59.550 00:24:08.169 Nicolas Sucari: I mean, if this we’re gonna go with the green box here, I think this fine, maybe we can reduce the space of the business implications, and these are kind of the like.

196 00:24:08.170 00:24:11.269 Uttam Kumaran: Can we make these boxes even size.

197 00:24:11.590 00:24:13.969 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I can do it. Oh.

198 00:24:14.010 00:24:16.390 Uttam Kumaran: I’m not gonna touch. I’m not gonna touch.

199 00:24:17.403 00:24:18.569 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, good!

200 00:24:21.990 00:24:26.090 Nicolas Sucari: We are in the same frame. Okay, there.

201 00:24:26.710 00:24:29.870 Nicolas Sucari: or do you wanna like do the same size.

202 00:24:46.850 00:24:50.790 Uttam Kumaran: Can make these 2 the same size, and the implications can go.

203 00:24:52.350 00:24:54.659 Uttam Kumaran: or you can, if you put all 3

204 00:24:58.480 00:25:00.619 Uttam Kumaran: and like, I can try to.

205 00:25:03.100 00:25:04.710 Nicolas Sucari: But wait, are we? Are we gonna

206 00:25:04.850 00:25:08.190 Nicolas Sucari: add the green one here as the impact or not?

207 00:25:12.150 00:25:15.650 Uttam Kumaran: I think we are. Gonna we are gonna make the this imp. The the

208 00:25:15.670 00:25:17.979 Uttam Kumaran: quantifiable impact is going to be green.

209 00:25:18.470 00:25:19.270 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

210 00:25:34.760 00:25:39.930 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, if we can put this under here and wrap this entire thing in green, then it’s good. Right?

211 00:27:26.660 00:27:30.889 Uttam Kumaran: I wonder? And can we, can we put this under here and

212 00:27:31.110 00:27:33.570 Uttam Kumaran: have them both go like this length.

213 00:27:39.660 00:27:40.440 Anne: Which one.

214 00:27:40.440 00:27:42.870 Uttam Kumaran: This under here, and then.

215 00:27:42.870 00:27:43.520 Anne: Okay.

216 00:27:43.900 00:27:45.650 Uttam Kumaran: They’re both like horizontal.

217 00:27:46.790 00:27:47.920 Anne: Okay.

218 00:28:30.900 00:28:32.669 Anne: like that, or.

219 00:28:32.940 00:28:33.715 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

220 00:28:38.660 00:28:40.090 Uttam Kumaran: What do you think? Nico.

221 00:28:43.990 00:28:45.919 Uttam Kumaran: Or should we move this under here.

222 00:28:47.180 00:28:48.644 Nicolas Sucari: Can can we try?

223 00:28:49.020 00:28:56.939 Nicolas Sucari: adding like, leave it in 2 columns like these at the quantifiable impact. Do? Can you add it on the right and the business implications here on the left.

224 00:28:59.650 00:29:01.200 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, I see. Okay.

225 00:29:01.800 00:29:08.739 Nicolas Sucari: So if we can do the like, the quantified impact right on the right here as a box here

226 00:29:08.800 00:29:16.030 Nicolas Sucari: and the business implications on the left here. So if if not, so, we don’t have like these blank space all green.

227 00:29:17.450 00:29:18.740 Nicolas Sucari: what do you think, Ken?

228 00:29:18.900 00:29:20.869 Nicolas Sucari: It’s gonna look a little bit better.

229 00:29:25.590 00:29:26.320 Anne: He?

230 00:29:26.830 00:29:29.389 Anne: So the 1st one is the green color.

231 00:29:29.950 00:29:31.610 Nicolas Sucari: But move it to the right.

232 00:29:32.240 00:29:38.379 Nicolas Sucari: so that we have a current situation on the left. Underneath we have business implications, and on the right, we have the impact.

233 00:29:44.430 00:29:45.110 Anne: Think, that.

234 00:29:49.770 00:29:55.709 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, but only 2 columns and business implications below current situation.

235 00:29:57.520 00:29:59.290 Anne: And bye.

236 00:30:07.210 00:30:09.956 Nicolas Sucari: And do them in this way. We can

237 00:30:10.360 00:30:15.170 Nicolas Sucari: like we can highlight more things in the impact. We have more space.

238 00:30:15.420 00:30:19.109 Nicolas Sucari: We can see, like to add stuff or make it bigger. Maybe.

239 00:30:19.340 00:30:22.150 Nicolas Sucari: So they draw more attention.

240 00:30:23.100 00:30:26.700 Nicolas Sucari: This, if you want to extend this a little bit.

241 00:30:49.490 00:30:55.449 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, that’s perfect. And if we want to do like, we can extend this one.

242 00:30:56.260 00:30:57.550 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, let’s do like this.

243 00:30:58.480 00:31:03.750 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, and we can. I mean, if we wanna make it bigger, we can do it. And we can like highlight

244 00:31:03.760 00:31:07.460 Nicolas Sucari: or make the text bigger here, so it will draw more attention.

245 00:31:08.350 00:31:09.810 Anne: Hmm, okay. Okay.

246 00:31:12.400 00:31:17.400 Uttam Kumaran: Can we? Should we make this box the length or no?

247 00:31:18.505 00:31:33.370 Nicolas Sucari: I I don’t because it’s gonna be empty. I mean, I prefer, yeah, maybe we we yeah, maybe we extend this if we have more things to add hearing the impact. Or maybe we’ll leave it like this. And if we need to add something else, we can use this space.

248 00:31:44.810 00:31:50.020 Anne: Yeah, for this one. Maybe we could add more here in quantities.

249 00:31:50.240 00:31:51.480 Anne: Viable impact.

250 00:31:51.480 00:31:52.090 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

251 00:31:52.820 00:31:55.019 Anne: Or maybe I can increase the phone.

252 00:31:56.770 00:32:00.310 Nicolas Sucari: I think we should increase the fund like 1 point or something. Yeah.

253 00:32:00.640 00:32:02.349 Nicolas Sucari: So it’s easier to read.

254 00:32:02.350 00:32:02.929 Uttam Kumaran: It looks.

255 00:32:05.660 00:32:08.569 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, if you click here, wait.

256 00:32:52.850 00:32:56.350 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, if we combine this, then it’s basically good to go.

257 00:33:03.030 00:33:04.760 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, perfect. Sam, I like it.

258 00:33:05.480 00:33:08.769 Uttam Kumaran: Nico, can you just do one scan through all the text?

259 00:33:10.090 00:33:10.680 Nicolas Sucari: Yep.

260 00:33:10.680 00:33:12.229 Uttam Kumaran: And just make sure that everything.

261 00:33:12.920 00:33:15.989 Uttam Kumaran: nothing is like jargon, or like useless.

262 00:33:18.800 00:33:19.480 Nicolas Sucari: Yes.

263 00:35:35.130 00:35:40.920 Nicolas Sucari: I think it’s fine. I mean everything. I’m reading things. Okay.

267 00:35:51.060 00:35:56.560 Uttam Kumaran: it’s a balance. I just don’t want there to be like stuff that’s redundant or like useless.

268 00:35:56.560 00:35:57.240 Nicolas Sucari: No.

269 00:35:57.240 00:36:02.449 Uttam Kumaran: So there’s anything there that you’re like. This is obvious. Just delete it. But I think it’s good right now.

270 00:36:03.100 00:36:05.349 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, yeah, it’s good. I like it.

271 00:36:21.740 00:36:28.909 Uttam Kumaran: See, this is like what I used to do is like a product manager I used to. We used to look at like, is there periods at like the end of everything.

272 00:36:29.550 00:36:30.040 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, because I.

273 00:36:30.040 00:36:32.149 Uttam Kumaran: Used to do all the copy for the product

274 00:36:32.910 00:36:37.200 Uttam Kumaran: we have a big debate over. Are we doing sentence case? Or what case are we doing.

275 00:36:42.320 00:36:45.819 Nicolas Sucari: Do you wanna add the period after each sentence or no?

276 00:36:45.820 00:36:47.880 Uttam Kumaran: No, no, no, no period, no period.

277 00:36:48.150 00:36:49.900 Uttam Kumaran: can only do one or the other.

278 00:36:58.810 00:37:02.380 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, yeah, I think it’s looking good. Yep.

279 00:37:04.940 00:37:05.725 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

338 00:42:52.085 00:42:55.410 Ryan Brosas: Well, currently we have.

339 00:42:55.490 00:43:00.569 Ryan Brosas: We use the Google, what do you call this? The notebook? Rm.

340 00:43:01.040 00:43:07.259 Ryan Brosas: but you know it’s not perfect. But you know it’s really it’s kind of doable, for, you know.

341 00:43:07.300 00:43:11.970 Ryan Brosas: cutting in all the unnecessary fluff or the AI error.

342 00:43:12.511 00:43:16.229 Ryan Brosas: I can make the the what do you call this

343 00:43:16.610 00:43:22.779 Ryan Brosas: does make it well, turn the audio to transcription. So I can use the those

344 00:43:23.358 00:43:28.550 Ryan Brosas: transcription to what they call this 11 labs.

345 00:43:28.670 00:43:40.680 Ryan Brosas: so I can copy. If your voice then you know add some other voices also, and make it, you know, sounded like your voice and the other voice more like a human talking.

346 00:43:41.990 00:43:45.480 Ryan Brosas: I think that’s what I’m currently waiting for.

347 00:43:46.078 00:43:54.041 Ryan Brosas: For the SEO. I think. I’m going to do some se well,

348 00:43:55.190 00:43:58.860 Ryan Brosas: sorry. So let me share, and

349 00:43:59.980 00:44:16.839 Ryan Brosas: we are. It’s it’s pretty much normal to like getting a lot of loss. Keywords. But we’re just in case that I’ll just, you know, optimize it. The the what do you call this? The glossary?

350 00:44:18.730 00:44:23.099 Ryan Brosas: This is from 1.88. But you know, we got 1.99.

351 00:44:25.220 00:44:33.489 Ryan Brosas: yeah, I think we are performing well on the SEO side also. But this is really what I’m going to address

352 00:44:33.550 00:44:36.320 Ryan Brosas: or next week, I guess.

353 00:44:36.898 00:44:46.949 Ryan Brosas: Now it we have like Gemini. You know the the AI search that has a you know, a lot of resource sources.

354 00:44:47.375 00:44:54.210 Ryan Brosas: I can go deeply, you know. Make you know. A glossary that is rich, for you know more detailed.

355 00:44:54.520 00:45:00.409 Ryan Brosas: and just pick it a little bit so it won’t. You know much as a human return?

356 00:45:00.919 00:45:04.810 Ryan Brosas: I think that will make it more, you know.

357 00:45:05.020 00:45:06.740 Ryan Brosas: That’s obvious.

358 00:45:07.950 00:45:11.319 Uttam Kumaran: Take a look. Ryan, I just sent you this link in slack

359 00:45:11.690 00:45:16.235 Uttam Kumaran: I met. I told you I met with the CEO. This company take a look at

360 00:45:17.560 00:45:20.249 Uttam Kumaran: take a look at this link.

361 00:45:20.340 00:45:24.790 Uttam Kumaran: They he literally told me they built every single comparison.

362 00:45:26.282 00:45:28.000 Uttam Kumaran: Between these tools.

363 00:45:28.100 00:45:32.269 Uttam Kumaran: And he’s basically like dude, we get so much traffic from SEO,

364 00:45:33.990 00:45:39.900 Uttam Kumaran: So go. Yeah. If you go back, you’ll see. Like all the different comparisons. Basically.

365 00:45:40.590 00:45:40.980 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah,

366 00:45:42.810 00:45:49.270 Ryan Brosas: Oh, yeah, I kind of seeing it right now. It’s quite, you know. Really, you know.

367 00:45:49.620 00:45:55.100 Uttam Kumaran: So I think the I think we should probably try to spend some time thinking about what keywords we want to.

368 00:45:57.460 00:46:02.940 Uttam Kumaran: We want to compete with right? Because we’re trying to find people that are interested in consulting.

369 00:46:03.785 00:46:06.759 Uttam Kumaran: getting, consulting help for these tools.

370 00:46:07.100 00:46:08.260 Uttam Kumaran: So

371 00:46:08.880 00:46:18.049 Uttam Kumaran: you know, I’m trying to think about how to think about those keywords that we should compete on. Because I want to move from competing on these technical terms to competing on like

372 00:46:18.110 00:46:23.149 Uttam Kumaran: pinpoint client is searching for consulting help right.

373 00:46:23.150 00:46:25.399 Ryan Brosas: Yeah. Yeah. I agree with that.

374 00:46:26.200 00:46:32.219 Ryan Brosas: Yeah. Let’s think of what keyword we can, you know round for.

375 00:46:32.220 00:46:33.390 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, can you?

376 00:46:34.210 00:46:41.489 Uttam Kumaran: Somewhere in notion? Can you put a task to take a look at that? And maybe me and you can work on that or me. You, Nico, can talk about that

377 00:46:41.700 00:46:44.159 Uttam Kumaran: because basically, I want to work on like.

378 00:46:44.430 00:46:46.572 Uttam Kumaran: what are those? What are those

379 00:46:47.730 00:46:51.370 Uttam Kumaran: like keywords that we want to go for. Maybe I don’t know where

380 00:46:51.540 00:46:55.090 Uttam Kumaran: we we don’t have an SEO, but maybe just put this under design. For now

381 00:46:57.610 00:46:59.900 Uttam Kumaran: put this under Brainforge. AI, yeah.

382 00:47:00.220 00:47:04.510 Uttam Kumaran: Or if you go to, if you go to Brainforge AI like the old page.

383 00:47:09.190 00:47:15.799 Uttam Kumaran: No, no! If you go to, if you go to search on the left, just search for Brainforge AI.

384 00:47:17.730 00:47:19.010 Ryan Brosas: Yeah. Top left.

385 00:47:19.910 00:47:20.500 Ryan Brosas: Hang it.

386 00:47:21.530 00:47:27.040 Uttam Kumaran: Just search for brainforge.ai, yeah.

387 00:47:27.890 00:47:29.770 Uttam Kumaran: this is just a website project.

388 00:47:30.020 00:47:40.490 Uttam Kumaran: So maybe just add a task here that’s like, basically like keyword research for SEO.

389 00:47:40.990 00:47:46.200 Uttam Kumaran: And if you inside, can you just put a little text that like we want to start competing on

390 00:47:46.230 00:47:50.070 Uttam Kumaran: more high, intent keywords regarding people searching for consulting.

391 00:48:00.140 00:48:00.960 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah?
