Purchase orders are working end to end on staging — draft, send, partial receive, close. Receiving is the last big flow and is waiting on the v3 designs.

Shipped

  • PO lifecycle on staging (draft → sent → partial → received)
  • Supplier lead-time tracking with late flags
  • 3PL webhooks live in production behind a flag (CO-01)

Next

  • Receiving build starts Oct 19, after design sign-off
  • Release candidate 2 on staging, Oct 23
  • Forecast: wire in seasonality from 2025 orders

Risks

  • CO-02 (wholesale) needs a decision by Oct 16 to hold the Nov 20 launch, or it moves to Nov 27.

Churn model v10.2 is trained and beats v10.1 on every segment. We can ship Oct 15 — but it is learning from subscription data that is now 9 days stale.

Shipped

  • Churn v10.2 trained — AUC 0.84 → 0.87
  • Reorder forecast recalibrated for Q4
  • Winback segment synced to Klaviyo

Next

  • Release sign-off from Dana (Oct 14)
  • Ship v10.2 to the dashboard (Oct 15)
  • Monthly insights review (Oct 20)

Risks

  • Recharge export access still pending with Verdant IT — ticket #4471. Without it, v10.2 ships on Oct 3 data.
