# Summary — Q1 Board Deck (Acme Corp) — 2026-04-18
## The 30-second version
Q1 was a miss on revenue (-8% vs. plan) but a beat on new logo count (+12%). The gap is pricing — new customers came in at lower ACV than plan. CEO is proposing a pricing rework in Q2 and a hiring pause through end of Q2. Board is being asked to approve both.
## Key points
- **Revenue:** $4.2M vs. $4.6M plan. Miss.
- **New logos:** 47 vs. 42 plan. Beat.
- **ACV dropped 14% YoY** — largely due to a new self-serve tier introduced in Q4
- **Net retention:** 108%, flat with Q4, below the 112% target
- **Cash:** 22 months runway, up from 19 in Q4 (thanks to reduced spend)
- **Proposed: pricing rework** — reviewing tier structure and the self-serve plan that's cannibalizing mid-market
- **Proposed: hiring pause** — through end of Q2, open reqs close today, exceptions only for existing backfills
- **Risks called out:** competitor entered the mid-market segment in Feb, churn is ticking up in the self-serve tier
## Notable quotes
> "The self-serve tier has become a revenue problem. It's pulling customers who would otherwise buy the $15K plan into the $3K plan." — CEO letter, p. 3
> "We're not cutting. We're pausing while we figure out why our growth is outpacing our monetization." — CEO letter, p. 5
## Action items / implications
- Board to vote on pricing rework (scope: tier restructure) and hiring pause — both require approval
- Finance to model the revenue impact of three pricing scenarios before next board (dates not specified in deck)
- No action items for you personally unless you're on the pricing committee
