44 00:48:24.750 00:48:27.050 Brylle Girang: But it’s tough. It’s a tough one.

45 00:48:28.470 00:48:29.450 Uttam Kumaran: But, yeah.

46 00:48:30.510 00:48:32.840 Uttam Kumaran: This would be insane if we land this one.

47 00:49:00.810 00:49:03.510 Uttam Kumaran: Does her… does her ask make sense, basically?

48 00:49:04.710 00:49:06.450 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah.

49 00:49:07.060 00:49:10.719 Uttam Kumaran: So look at what I did. I don’t know if, if, like…

50 00:49:11.960 00:49:13.999 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know if I did a great job.

51 00:49:15.340 00:49:16.909 Uttam Kumaran: I was, like, half asleep.

52 00:49:17.490 00:49:20.510 Brylle Girang: This is actually more detailed.

53 00:49:20.640 00:49:26.060 Brylle Girang: than what I would wa- than what I would have wanted, so I think this is amazing.

54 00:49:26.860 00:49:33.309 Uttam Kumaran: Well, can we… I think my only ask is, like, can we, can we try to do a version for every option?

55 00:49:40.140 00:49:41.290 Uttam Kumaran: You know what I mean?

56 00:49:41.860 00:49:42.750 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah.

57 00:49:42.960 00:49:48.589 Brylle Girang: So, like, Sheet… oh, so Sheet 1 is, like, what, option?

58 00:49:48.590 00:49:52.359 Uttam Kumaran: We should just do… we should… Sheet 1 should be option B.

59 00:49:52.880 00:49:53.519 Brylle Girang: Option B.

60 00:49:53.520 00:49:57.290 Uttam Kumaran: But I would like to put an op… I would like to do one for every option in there.

61 00:49:57.850 00:49:58.580 Brylle Girang: Okay.

62 00:50:07.330 00:50:11.920 Brylle Girang: Just going to update the timeline for option C. Should be March to August.

63 00:50:12.640 00:50:13.580 Brylle Girang: 25 to 6.

64 00:50:13.580 00:50:16.769 Uttam Kumaran: Well, all of it should be until October.

65 00:50:19.350 00:50:20.360 Uttam Kumaran: I think.

66 00:50:25.710 00:50:31.300 Brylle Girang: God, then who…

67 00:50:31.420 00:50:37.919 Brylle Girang: So option C states that all four work streams by August, so what are we going to do, like, from September to.

68 00:50:37.920 00:50:40.590 Uttam Kumaran: Well, let me, let me show you this, hold on.

69 00:51:11.110 00:51:12.900 Uttam Kumaran: So look at the second tab here.

70 00:51:14.510 00:51:15.620 Uttam Kumaran: So it’s September.

71 00:51:18.590 00:51:19.989 Brylle Girang: Can you give me access?

72 00:51:20.300 00:51:21.679 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah, one second.

73 00:51:54.910 00:51:55.670 Brylle Girang: Okay.

74 00:52:27.510 00:52:34.710 Brylle Girang: Okay, sorry, I just need to clarify this. So, option C seems to be the fastest option.

75 00:52:34.710 00:52:35.230 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.

76 00:52:35.230 00:52:41.440 Brylle Girang: We’re still going to… the contract will still be until October, is that right?

77 00:52:46.620 00:52:49.900 Uttam Kumaran: No, well, all of this goes until end of September.

78 00:52:51.140 00:52:52.379 Brylle Girang: the night of September.

79 00:52:52.530 00:52:53.250 Brylle Girang: So…

80 00:52:53.250 00:52:54.570 Uttam Kumaran: Like, check… yeah.

81 00:52:56.040 00:53:04.930 Brylle Girang: So I just… I guess I just don’t get why we’re adding one engineer, and then the contract will still end by October, when we’re saying it’s the fastest.

82 00:53:05.680 00:53:11.929 Uttam Kumaran: Because it’s… we’re doing 4 things by October, not just 3 things. We’re adding something.

83 00:53:13.010 00:53:14.660 Uttam Kumaran: We’re adding most, more scope.

84 00:53:16.360 00:53:18.069 Brylle Girang: But option B still…

85 00:53:21.280 00:53:23.350 Uttam Kumaran: No, no, no, look at option B versus C.

86 00:53:24.660 00:53:26.939 Brylle Girang: Same thing, let’s say, the supply chain.

87 00:53:29.160 00:53:31.189 Uttam Kumaran: Supply chain is not an option B.

88 00:53:32.450 00:53:35.119 Uttam Kumaran: And we’re giving them a dedicated person.

89 00:53:43.260 00:53:44.469 Uttam Kumaran: Does that make sense?

90 00:53:44.580 00:53:45.410 Uttam Kumaran: Or so now.

91 00:53:45.410 00:53:49.599 Brylle Girang: What do we mean by supply chain visibility by Fed?

92 00:53:49.730 00:53:51.520 Brylle Girang: by September, though.

93 00:53:51.850 00:53:52.649 Brylle Girang: What does that mean?

94 00:53:52.650 00:53:56.740 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that’s its own… that’s its own workstream, so that’s another data mark that has to get done.

95 00:53:59.930 00:54:05.149 Brylle Girang: So, are we saying that we’re not going to finish supply chain visibility by September?

96 00:54:06.000 00:54:07.999 Uttam Kumaran: In the option B, it’s not on the table.

97 00:54:08.960 00:54:10.470 Brylle Girang: Oh, okay.

98 00:54:10.470 00:54:12.439 Uttam Kumaran: Only on the table in option C.

99 00:54:27.040 00:54:28.210 Brylle Girang: I just need to get my.

100 00:54:28.210 00:54:28.810 Uttam Kumaran: Basically.

101 00:54:28.810 00:54:30.040 Brylle Girang: Let me share my screen.

102 00:54:30.910 00:54:31.490 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

103 00:54:33.680 00:54:39.980 Brylle Girang: Yeah, so it says here that there’s a plus sign, supply chain visibility by step. What does this mean?

104 00:54:53.540 00:54:54.969 Uttam Kumaran: One second.

105 00:55:01.010 00:55:04.499 Uttam Kumaran: Yes, so right now, for option A,

106 00:55:05.010 00:55:15.079 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay. So option A is 1, 2, and 3. Option B is 1, 2, 3, and 4. Option C is 1, 2, 3, and 4 by August.

107 00:55:16.980 00:55:21.759 Brylle Girang: Gotcha. So what are we going to do between August and September, then, for option C?

108 00:55:23.250 00:55:25.220 Uttam Kumaran: That’s not a… that’s not in the plan.

109 00:55:26.820 00:55:29.480 Uttam Kumaran: Like, meaning that’s the acceleration.

110 00:55:30.260 00:55:31.070 Uttam Kumaran: So…

111 00:55:31.070 00:55:32.270 Brylle Girang: Like, ultimately.

112 00:55:32.270 00:55:38.700 Uttam Kumaran: We will plan after that, but we don’t… this is our… we were given, like, these are the four things we want done.

113 00:55:38.830 00:55:43.319 Uttam Kumaran: So we’re like, okay, let’s sign it till then, but then we’re gonna get it done. There’ll be other work.

114 00:55:43.910 00:55:46.200 Brylle Girang: Okay, okay, that makes more sense.

115 00:55:46.720 00:55:47.270 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

116 00:55:47.270 00:55:51.890 Brylle Girang: Okay, so basically August to September is like a buffer.

117 00:55:52.690 00:55:57.829 Brylle Girang: for us, whatever they think, we can do, we can do it during those months. Okay.

118 00:55:57.940 00:55:59.200 Brylle Girang: That makes sense.

119 00:55:59.640 00:56:00.829 Brylle Girang: Makes more sense.

120 00:56:23.760 00:56:26.840 Uttam Kumaran: Wondering if you can help me… try and…

121 00:56:27.030 00:56:28.899 Uttam Kumaran: Do a second version of that.

122 00:56:29.180 00:56:32.810 Uttam Kumaran: It’s, like, basically each option, and then I don’t know if we can try other…

123 00:56:32.980 00:56:36.519 Uttam Kumaran: ways to visualize it, unless you think the way I did it is fine.

124 00:56:37.460 00:56:38.580 Brylle Girang: Yeah, well, Phil…

125 00:56:38.580 00:56:39.460 Uttam Kumaran: I want to highlight…

128 00:56:43.100 00:56:44.569 Brylle Girang: He doesn’t want to yam.

129 00:56:44.910 00:56:48.839 Uttam Kumaran: let’s say every week, so I kind of want to show A, B, C.

130 00:56:50.440 00:56:51.590 Brylle Girang: Okay. Yeah.

131 00:56:51.590 00:56:53.459 Uttam Kumaran: I want to highlight the differences.

132 00:58:35.370 00:58:37.779 Brylle Girang: I think we’re a bit aggressive.

133 00:58:39.880 00:58:40.740 Uttam Kumaran: For sure.

134 00:58:40.740 00:58:45.120 Brylle Girang: On this option, yeah. This is only until, like, June.

135 00:58:45.240 00:58:45.960 Brylle Girang: And then you’re going.

136 00:58:45.960 00:58:50.930 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, so that’s… so… Okay, so, yeah, can you actually, like…

137 00:58:51.290 00:58:59.490 Uttam Kumaran: I think this is where I just did it, I haven’t, like, finished it. So can you… that’s an issue, like, we should have everything going until end of September.

138 00:59:00.170 00:59:01.719 Brylle Girang: Yeah, okay.

139 00:59:06.730 00:59:11.670 Brylle Girang: Okay, gotcha. So, maybe my two clear deliverables is…
