Signal
Michael asked Blake whether he’d have bandwidth to hop on recurring interview calls with clients if Michael can successfully automate a lot of the ops work. Michael’s framing: “What I’m realizing is that with our new model this is actually insanely valuable (getting more context from them, their story, what’s going on in their business, etc). We need to be in their face more often.”
Status
Open question. Blake’s response not yet in channel as of distill time (11pm ET).
Significance
If confirmed, this would add a recurring client-facing role for Blake as automation absorbs more ops. Relevant to how Megaphone scales delivery headcount and which functions stay human.
Resolution
Resolved 2026-08-14: Blake owns the interview-call lane (Blake Stewart to run recurring client interview calls); Nuon weekly call handed to Blake the same day.
