What did Judith say about the CEO's position on resource allocation?
In the Discovery Call (Jan 28), Judith mentioned that the CEO requested "more proof points" before committing additional headcount to Home Services. She described it as a disconnect — leadership publicly champions the growth target but won't back it with resources until they see evidence of traction.
In the Strategy Workshop (Feb 3), she elaborated that the CEO's hesitation is partly political — committing resources to Home Services means visibly deprioritizing Pro, which has stronger short-term numbers.
Did anyone mention specific dollar figures?
Yes. The $5B revenue target for Home Services by 2027 came up in all three conversations. David Frank mentioned that 60% of PM capacity is consumed by SRS integration, and Judith referenced $2B+ at risk if targets are missed due to under-investment. No specific budget numbers for the reallocation were discussed — that appears to be what the CEO wants the "proof points" for.
