W01 · 25–31 Jul · what must be true

The weekly meeting with Ajmal is locked to a fixed day and time, and I can describe how J1 opens, closes, receives stock and reorders — in writing, without guessing.

The challenge

This file names a staff member's unverified account of "a war situation," distinguishes him from an owner who shares his first name, and was written in a voice DASHBOARD-SPEC.md explicitly reserved for Labeeb alone — is the Insights tab staying candid-for-Labeeb-only starting today, or does someone reword it before Ajmal opens it next?

Lock the weekly meeting with Ajmal — day fixed as Sunday; exact time confirmed the night before each week (not weeks in advance — that's the real rhythm, not a gap). First meeting, originally 26 Jul, did not happen on schedule and moved to tonight, 28 Jul; Sunday cadence resumes after that.Mon

decide with LabeebNow that the personal dashboard is partner-visible (2026-07-29 decision), does the Insights tab's "Strategic read" content (spec §9.3, written in a candid internal-operator voice for Labeeb only) need rewording before Ajmal/Suhail/Nizar can see it? See dashboard/DASHBOARD-SPEC.md §10.not store-sourced

ask AjmalDoes the InstaPOS system already support full inventory tracking?

ask AjmalExpansion plans over the next 3–5 years — how many new branches?

J1, from day 4What did "90% accurate" actually refer to? Misread earlier today as a revision to the POS-accuracy figure — that was Claude's error, not something reported. POS accuracy stays at ~80% (day 2 figure) until clarified.2026-07-28

J1, from day 4With reorder running on photos-in-a-group-chat and no par levels, who actually decides when something counts as "needed"?2026-07-28

J1, from day 4What actually hands over at shift change (cash, keys, notes)? Confirmed 28 Jul that nothing formally does — Labeeb is looking into this further himself.2026-07-28

J1, from day 4Why did 5 catchment buildings (MAG 318, Trillionaire Residences, Art 14, Sterling East/West, AYKON City) go from real B2B order volume to almost none? Two sources now point the same direction — new competing stores opening near these buildings — but neither has been checked building-by-building, and staff Ajmal's account also ties the drop to "the war situation" (see below). Don't treat this as confirmed yet. See findings/J1-CATCHMENT-BUILDINGS.md.2026-07-28

J1, from day 4What exactly was "the war situation" that staff Ajmal says caused a significant delivery drop? Which conflict, what period, how much volume — none of that is specified yet. Reported 28 Jul, not cross-checked. See findings/J1-CATCHMENT-BUILDINGS.md.2026-07-28
