# At-Risk Status — Half-Stepped Service

## Overview

As of the Feb 20, 2026 end-of-week operations call, Overhead Door was flagged as an at-risk client receiving "half-stepped" service. The account was called out alongside [[wiki/clients/current/flynn-audio/index|Flynn Audio]] and [[wiki/clients/current/exterior-renovations/index|Exterior Renovations]] as clients not receiving the full level of attention they require.

No specific service failures were detailed for Overhead Door in this meeting — the concern was raised as part of a broader acknowledgment that operational strain and account manager bandwidth issues were causing degraded service quality across several smaller accounts.

## Context

The flag came during a period of significant internal stress:

- A revenue-vs-payroll deficit of ~$8k/mo was identified (revenue ~$57k, payroll ~$65k)
- Account manager Sebastian was dealing with personal challenges affecting his reliability
- The team was in the middle of a ClickUp rollout and restructuring account ownership

Mark Hope noted that some of the smaller accounts were being "half-stepped" — meaning work was being done, but not with the consistency or proactiveness the clients deserve.

## Risk Factors

- Reduced account manager bandwidth during a period of internal restructuring
- No specific escalation or remediation plan was discussed for Overhead Door in this meeting
- Account may be managed by Sebastian, who was simultaneously placed on a performance plan (see [[wiki/meetings/2026-02-20-weekly-eow-call-melissa|Feb 20 EOW Call]])

## Next Steps / Status at Time of Meeting

- No immediate action items were assigned specifically for Overhead Door
- The broader remediation plan was to re-divide client accounts among Melissa, Carly, and Sebastian in an afternoon meeting on Feb 20
- Overhead Door's situation should be reassessed following the account redistribution
