Background: The studio had entered a concentrated bug-fixing phase for the vertical slice, with the board making unresolved issues visible to the team. After the sharp market swings, some worried that schedules might be disrupted, so the meeting needed to separate market noise from work it could control.
Today: At the meeting, the team confirmed that market conditions were unrelated to the schedule and returned its attention to development work within its control. The bug board fell to 31.

Impact and next: The count kept falling from its earlier high, giving the team a clearer view of repair progress, but 31 items remained open. Next came reproducing each issue, making sure fixes had not introduced new problems, and keeping the slice acceptance schedule on track.
