Liem — Warren vs Claude Side-by-Side
In Progress
👤 Owner: Liem
📅 Last contact: Today
Results by Monday
Purpose: Show Jay the gap between "advisor" (Claude) and "delivery engine" (Warren). Tony redirected Liem to SDLC-focused questions — enterprise roadmap → sprint plan → agentic estimation → actual delivery.
⏰ Timing Signal

Liem doing the comparison tonight/this weekend (with his daughter). Results feed into Jay's TZP decision. SDLC focus is designed to show the gap between advisor and delivery engine.

Next Actions
  • Complete side-by-side comparison this weekend Liem

🆕 New Opportunities
Credera / Dbrav Dunkley — Omnicom
🆕 New High Potential
👤 Owner: Charlie + Tony
📅 Meeting: Today (Apr 16)
NDA pending
Decision makers:
• Dbrav Dunkley (Partner) — Economic buyer. Most enthusiastic. Invited everyone.
• Marshall Treadaway (Principal Architect, AI R&D) — Technical gatekeeper. Most skeptical.
• Maxwell Rank (Data Architect, Houston) — Technical champion. Already generating use cases.
End client: Quanta Services ($30M modernization), contact Nathan Hanks (VP IT, ex-Pariveda)
⏰ Timing Signal

Max independently pitched using Warren for BD acceleration. Dbrav said work was "outstanding and quite incredible." Marshall's concern: data engineering vs app dev — but BD use case sidesteps this objection. NDA + technical architecture briefing needed within 1 week. Texas meeting with Dbrav for partner buy-in (date TBD).

Next Actions
  • Send NDA to Credera — THIS WEEK (critical path) Joana
  • Technical architecture briefing doc for Max (awaiting Charlie's confirmation) Warren
  • Lock Texas meeting dates with Dbrav Tony
  • Send BD Accelerator POC proposal once NDA signed Tony
Valent Partners / Hector Martinez
🆕 New Strong Fit
👤 Owner: Tony
📅 Meeting: Today (Apr 16)
~1 week for Hector to circulate
Key contact: Hector Martinez — Senior Partner, Valent Partners (Dallas TX). 35+ years enterprise tech consulting. Fortune 1000 + mid-market clients. 90% repeat/referral.
Angle: Channel/partner play — Valent embeds Warren in their delivery to clients. PMO automation as entry point.
⏰ Timing Signal

Hector will circulate with Valent partners this week. Aims to respond within ~1 week (by end of next week). Wants a deeper whiteboard session: "Here's a hypothetical client — how would we use Warren?" Tony scheduled follow-up during call. Two channels Hector sees: client-facing PMO automation + internal delivery acceleration.

Next Actions
  • Wait for Hector to circulate (by ~Apr 25) Hector
  • Prepare whiteboard session content (hypothetical client walkthrough) Warren
  • Follow-up meeting already scheduled Tony
