R7-07 Endings log

Supports slides 32 and 42.

Each ending leads with what I misjudged. No separation details and no one else’s words; the only quotes are mine.

Engagement	Dates	How it ended	What I misjudged	What I do now	Source
KingdomKode (agency)	1 Oct 2025 to 23 Feb 2026	They ended it, effective immediately, and claimed control of the AssuredBook applications. My reply, team copied: “A threat like that won’t work well.” and “AssuredBook was paid for in full.”	One agency holding the code and the repo	Ownership and access terms in writing on day one	Gmail 1844180938438445430, 1857933538344250570
Edify (agency, SAMS SOW)	20 Feb to 4 May 2026	I closed the SOW. On 21 Apr I wrote: “I still do not have a viable product. And I have people who want to buy Stigviewer and resell it. This is now blocking revenue.”	I discounted the April signal for weeks because they came recommended	A dated acceptance test in the SOW	Gmail 1857675446279696108, 1863021996095054166, 1863191680021691645
Phil (marketing)	Met in class May 2025; last Slack message 8 Jul 2026	On 17 Apr 2026 I wrote: “I shouldn’t be the one pushing for this. You own marketing. Own it.”	The April ultimatum should have been a January conversation. I funded a friend past the point the work supported it	Separate the friendship from the role sooner	Gmail 1862732523019896195; Slack DM
QBatch (contractor)	21 Apr to 28 Sep 2026, $35 an hour	Wound down, final invoice approved 28 Sep. Not a firing: the agents out-coded the contract	Nothing dramatic. It was the last outsourced core work	No external team owns core work	Slack #team-qbatch; Gmail 1877572447453569041
Steven	16 Aug 2025 to Jul 2026	Last Slack message 14 Jul 2026	(not on slide 42)		Gmail 1840564226875248172; Slack

The rule since (slide 32 and slide 42)

Written acceptance criteria. Named owners. A dated gate on every engagement. No external team owns core work. The 5 May 2026 mentor meeting records the decision: no more external teams for core projects (Gmail 1864368014341444103, AI summary).

Not yet evidenced: Phil’s exact last day and Steven’s exact end date. Not yet evidenced: Edify and QBatch cost totals. KingdomKode invoices are on file; the others need pulling from Mercury or QuickBooks.
