+- Innovation
+	- Bold goal: "engage with the innovation community" - Bein invited to review for TechCon 2026
+		- Invited to be reviewer for TechCon 2026 (Active member of TechCon review team for 5+ years)
+		- Part of editing team for Merlin paper
+		- Note: Achieved, but hadn't updated Bold Goal tracking. Progress reported to Tanu in weekly update.
+	- Bold goal: Boost Revenue by Driving customer-centric innovation (created September 2nd 2025)
+		- As this goal has only been inplay for under 3 months, there has only been minor progress; however, there has been some progress towards this goal.
+		- Am currently working with sales teams for NTT/GTT/Foodstuffs NZ on defining ISV integration requirements,  and in the case of Foodstuffs an idea for .
+- Develop Opportunieus
+	- 1 - Think Big
+		- I have always strived to ensure we are think fog the bigger picture. Often thinking Big Picture thinking requires understanding the business context in which you are working, and driving to support the organizational goals within the current contraints. A good example is the ISV vision I created and presented,  detailing how our organization could adjust to develop an strong ISV ecosystem (as noted by Tanu in the Eval summary "developed a well-thought-out plan to strengthen our partner ecosystem moving forward."). This vision required some minimal investment from the org but that was no viable in FY25. As noted in my Self-Refection, I have worked with the resources available to continue driving towards this goal and laying the foundations.
+		- (side note to bring up: I feel that i could have played a bigger strategic role if I was working the PCCP items - esp. given my 10+ years in roles defining and validating large/complex multi/hybrid cloud solutions )
+		- Prior to the re-org earlier this year:
+			- Created Private Cloud Experiences program and was recognized by Cheri for the forward thinking approach and execution that expanded from PCE to cover PCAI and the strategic completion of the joint goals for HPE/Nvida in the PCAI program.
+				- ![image.png](../assets/image_1765574503491_0.png)
+			- - Lead first of its kind (for HPE) partnership with Equinix incl. unique pricing agreement with Equinix. 90% of this 2 year project involved driving net new thinking in HPE with multiple new processes developed to enable the program (which I have contined to support during FY25).
+		- Previous roles:
+			- in GTM - Thought leadership on Solution Bundle Development and Selling frameworks to help retrain HPE sellers to operate in a cloud-centric selling motion. Presented at leadership conference on Hybrid Cloud strategy and how we needed to pivot to meet the market.
+			- in A&PS - Developed  App Modernization strategy, drove development of Analytical Hierarchy process to imporve Application assessment outcomes
+			- In A&PS - Developed security consulting offerings, co-designed and developed technical methodology for field teams. Lead development on the MVC methodology and tooling to accelerate enagements.
+		- Chris Smith: Understanding where teams are coming from and helping to find the root cause of the issues which will be input to identify 	a plan forward. Stuart has a great ability to understand how the business operates and what different functions of the business are 	trying to do. Stuart understands and can synthesize issues well into action plans. Stuart executes. He delivers. That is needed today in the company.
+		- Lorenzo Gonzales [2022] - Your perspective, strategic and customer-centric, adds a relevant diversity to the initiatives aiming to transform our company: we need to evolve all parts of our organizations in the direction that you master. This is a strength we do need to leverage as much as we can.
+	- 2 - Proactive comms
+		- Not proactively communicating issues/gaps - I struggle to understand statement. I tried numerous times to raise key issues early on (WLE SKU need, potential to lose Core team continuity, etc) and each time was met with dismissal of these items by Tanu. One of the items, the WLE SKU then feel to me months later to drive to completion. I feel if I had been enabled to act on this earlier it would have improved our ties/partnership with the sales team (that needed this formalized to make life easier).
+		- Andrea Mossman - Stuart is Proactive and always follows up / follows through. I never have to chase Stuart for replies, which I greatly appreciate
+		- Parissa - Stuart has served as a reliable source of information for all ISV partner updates relative to Morpheus Enterprise and Morpheus VM Essentials. His organized and structured method of communication on ISV validations and plug-ins enable his internal (BU leads) and external customers (field - sales and presales) to have a single source of truth at their fingertips. Additionally, Stuart has been responsive in providing information, reviewing documents, providing valuable feedback, and collaborating on a consistent basis which is highly beneficial for others in the organization.
+		- James Shupe: You’re highly competent, direct, and solution-focused. You cut through noise, address issues head-on, and keep projects moving efficiently. That combination of clarity and follow-through sets a strong tone for collaboration, and is definitely worth continuing to lean into.

+- ### Analysis: What Happened in Your Effort
+  
+  **Critical Issue: Speed Collapse at 39:00 mark (around mile 2.3-2.5)**
+  
+  Your speed dropped dramatically to ~7.3 mph while HR stayed at 168 bpm and cadence dropped to 46 rpm. This is where you lost significant time - you were grinding at unsustainably low cadence on the steepest section.
+  
+  **Pacing Pattern Analysis:**
+- **Start (0-26:40):** Consistent ~12-13 mph, 70-90 rpm cadence, ~150 bpm HR - good sustainable pace
+- **Middle (26:40-35:00):** Speed holding ~11-12 mph, cadence still decent 60-80 rpm, HR climbing to 160s
+- **Crisis Point (35:00-39:00):** Speed crashes to 7.3 mph, cadence drops to 46 rpm, HR maxed at 168 bpm - you hit the wall on the steepest pitch
+- **Recovery sections (gaps in data):** Appears you had to stop/soft pedal briefly, then resumed
+- **Final push (40:00+):** HR surged to 135+ but speed didn't recover - too fatigued
+  
+  **The Singlespeed Problem (38/20 gearing):**
+  
+  At 46 rpm on the steep section, you're at 60% of your average cadence. This gear is simply too tall for the 7-8% gradient sections. You're forced to:
+- Mash at very low cadence (high muscular force per pedal stroke)
+- This fatigues your legs faster than your cardiovascular system
+- Notice your HR wasn't maxed out (168 bpm vs 181 max) - your legs failed before your cardio did
+  
+  **Where Time Was Lost:**
+  
+  Comparing to target 15:08 pace:
+- First half (miles 0-1.4): Relatively close to target, maybe lost 30-45 seconds
+- Steep section (miles 1.4-2.8): Lost 2:30-3:00 here due to the speed collapse
+- The 39:00 mark crisis point alone probably cost 1:30-2:00
+- ### ⚠️ Critical Finding: Gearing is Your Biggest Limiter
+  
+  Your data clearly shows the 38/20 singlespeed forced you into an impossible situation on the steep sections. At 214W average power, you should be capable of ~10-11 mph on 7% grades with proper gearing (80-90 rpm). Instead, you were forced to 7.3 mph at 46 rpm.
+  
+  If you had gears allowing you to maintain 70+ rpm throughout:
+- You could likely sustain 230-240W instead of 214W (less muscular fatigue)
+- You wouldn't have the catastrophic slowdown at 39:00
+- Estimated time with same 214W but proper gearing: 16:30-17:15
+- With 230W + proper gearing: 15:30-16:00
+- ### Realistic Pathways to 15:08:
+  
+  **Option 1:** Switch to gears + maintain current 214W:**~17:00 (not quite there)**
+  
+  **Option 2:** Switch to gears + increase to 245W:**~15:08 ✓**
+  
+  **Option 3:** Keep singlespeed + increase to 300W+:**~15:08 (extremely difficult, cadence issues persist)**
+  
+  **Option 4:** Gears + lose 15 lbs + 230W:**~15:08 ✓**
+- ### Gearing Recommendation Based on Your Data:
+  
+  Looking at the gear comparison above with your actual 214W power output:
+- **38/14 or 38/16: TOO HARD** - You'd be spinning 90-110+ rpm on easier sections (leg speed limited, wastes energy)
+- **38/18: MARGINAL** - Better than 20t but still drops below 60 rpm on steep sections
+- **38/20: YOUR CURRENT** - Forces 46 rpm on steepest sections = catastrophic muscular fatigue
+- **38/22: BEST OPTION** - Keeps you in 60-70 rpm range on steep sections, 75-85 rpm on moderate sections
+  
+  Recommendation: Switch to 38/22 (1.73 ratio). This should save you 45-75 seconds and feel far more sustainable. You'll spin a bit faster on easy sections (85-90 rpm) but maintain viable cadence (60-65 rpm) on the steepest pitches.
+- ### Realistic Pathways to 15:08 (Updated with Cog Options):
+  
+  **Option 1:** Switch to 38/22 + maintain current 214W:**~17:45-18:00 (better but not enough)**
+  
+  **Option 2:** 38/22 + increase to 245W:**~15:15 (very close!) ✓**
+  
+  **Option 3:** 38/22 + increase to 260W:**~14:50 (beats target!) ✓✓**
+  
+  **Option 4:** Full geared bike with optimal ratios:**Even better, but 38/22 gets you close**
+- ### ⚡ Quick Win Strategy:
+  
+  **Next attempt: Use the 38/22 cog.** This single change will:
+- ✓ Prevent the catastrophic slowdown you had at 39:00 (from 46 rpm → 60-65 rpm)
+- ✓ Let you sustain power more evenly throughout the climb
+- ✓ Save 45-75 seconds immediately with no fitness change
+- ✓ Allow you to access more of your cardiovascular capacity (your HR showed room to push harder)
+  
+  Then focus training on raising your sustained power from 214W to 240-250W over the next 8-12 weeks, and 15:08 becomes very achievable.
