Getting tired of talking about margin after every Q. Good for financial overview and tough when you have bad Q due to investments and economic conditions but essentially being asked about margin and how strategy effects it blah blah.

So decided to do a Board Meeting Simulation.

(Prompt written by ChatGPT. May make some slight modifications if it not waiting for me in Claude isn't just a glitch)
