Open items & follow-ups

·
Brian Holstein's interview has no Gemini transcript attached; all evidence here is from Nathan's notes. Adding a recording would strengthen the sales-enablement ideas (#11, #20).
·
Marty, Nino, and the new IT manager are named repeatedly as adoption / data owners but haven't been interviewed yet. A short session with each would sharpen the infrastructure ideas (#2, #18).
·
The promotional framework (#21) and collab ROI framework (#22) would benefit from a quick pull of last 2–3 years of promo results — worth asking Molly for.
