Thanks Ben B. 🙌

if i can, i love to help people 🙌

Good, the framework clicked. Now it's about unblocking collaboration. Two paths: 1. Async mode (if 5h sync impossible):

His limited hours stop being a bottleneck. 2. Fight for the 5h (better option): Tell PM: "Without alignment sessions, we risk inconsistent outputs across 10 markets. 5h collaboration (weeks 2, 3, 5) protects delivery quality per client agreement. Otherwise sequential work = timeline slip." Quality risk > budget rigidity if they care about the deliverable. My take: Don't give your hours away unless you trust he can run with the framework solo. His input is valuable but you own the strategy. The 5h sync is a project need, not a favor.

Hi Nicoleta! Classic scope creep on a multi-market project. Quick fix: "Core + Variation" approach

Realistic savings: From 155h to ~90h (-40%) keeping full coverage. Red flag: If client wants deep dive on all, formal escalation: "Current scope requires 400-500h. With 155h I propose Core+Variation to guarantee deliverables by March. Alternatives: extend timeline or reduce to 6 priority markets." Markets share 70-80% patterns. Optimize for impact, not perfection. Template the 80%, personalize the 20% that matters. Happy to jump on a call to detail the framework if helpful. 💪
