Backlog Board — Sam's prioritized work queue

Companion to the this-week tracker (tickable, time-boxed). This board is the fuller prioritized queue across all areas. Canonical issue registry = data/issues.json; this is a curated Sam-facing view.

⭐ TOP 3 to knock out next (Sam's judgment calls)

GM applications — TODAY. Apply to the Battery Calibration TS role + message Luke and Adam. Time-boxed to today; lead with AI usage. Highest-leverage, expires if it slips.
Robo follow-through. Capture the 7/1 meeting outcome (recap + next steps + comp) while fresh, and prep to meet David DiMeo (co-founder) this week. Two-irons-in-the-fire with GM = leverage.
Collect outstanding invoices. Letvin $695 + Talmid $813 = ~$1,500 already earned, sitting in AR. One or two follow-up calls = money in the door. Cheap fridge quick-win alongside: shake-test the ~$20 start relay.
