Meeting intelligence page for the Feb 20, 2026 Day 3 sprint call. Key pivot: abandon cold LinkedIn outreach in favor of connect-only (50/day) + hand-raising posts. Three-channel strategy: LinkedIn audience building, Reddit community engagement, audience hijacking. Reconciliation days every 3-4 days to prevent building on faulty foundations. Derek's ICP dogfooding reveals Sales Navigator as critical dependency. Quality gates should be inline with steps, not separate.
