Hey Greg!
Yes, this is meant to be a one-time process. We've been spending a significant proportion of our time on it ever since we joined in mid-April (I'd say about 30% for me, and probably more for Joel)—too much to make it a regular thing. And hopefully, if we manage to address these problems, we won't find them replaced by new ones the very next quarter :)
Thanks for the question—it feels great to know that someone is out there reading our child of the mind! ————— Neil P. Quinn https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Neil_P._Quinn-WMF, product analyst Wikimedia Foundation +1 (202) 656 3457

Neil et al, this is great! Thanks for the very informative read, even as someone who works closely with the VE team on a semi-daily basis (at least!). I think it is great that the time and energy was devoted to developing this report.
The plan at [0] suggests that this is a one-time process with a conclusion (which is good), thus it isn't tied in, explicitly, with the quarterly goal planning process, correct?
Best,
Greg
