# Executive Update — Q2, for the CEO

**Headline:** Activation is up 14 points after the onboarding redesign; we're on track for the Q2 target with one staffing risk to flag for Q3.

## Key metrics
- **Weekly active accounts:** 12,400 (+18% QoQ)
- **Activation rate:** 61% (+14 pts) — best quarter on record
- **Net revenue retention:** 112% (flat)

## Progress
The redesigned onboarding flow is live for 100% of new accounts. Early cohorts reach value faster — median time-to-value is 2.1 days, down from 4.6.

## Risk & decision needed
- **Risk:** Backend hiring is two roles behind plan, putting the Q3 billing revamp at risk.
- **Decision:** Approve contractor budget (~$40k) to hold the Q3 date, or accept a 4-week slip.

## Next steps
- Roll the activation experiment into the core product (next sprint).
- Bring a Q3 staffing plan to the next leadership review.
