A day in the life

You reviewed your notes from yesterday's meeting with the Amazon Devices team on their launch plan for UAE to prepare for the meeting with the local Trade Manager to discuss the customs valuation risk for the launch. Demonstrating your high judgment and subject matter expertise, you identified a solution gap when assessing the operating plan for the UAE launch which you want to include in the Quarterly Business Review (QBR) document you are authoring.
