You asked about the timeline for the next phase of the project. Based on what the team shared during our last standup, the integration work will need at least another two weeks before we can begin user testing. The database migration has some dependencies we are still working through. I think we should plan for a soft launch around the middle of next month and keep the full release date flexible. The stakeholders have been briefed on the schedule and are comfortable. I can send the updated Gantt chart if that would help your planning.

MARRIOTT

A Note About Your Previous Stay

Because you stayed with Marriott or a partner hotel within the past year, you are eligible for a limited program.

We are pleased to provide you with a two-piece luxury cooling pillow set at no charge. After completing a brief questionnaire, you will also have the opportunity to claim a two-night stay at select participating locations, also at no charge. You will not be billed for the pillows or the qualifying stay nights.

This opportunity is available because of your previous stay with Marriott or a Marriott partner hotel. Total pillow sets allocated to this program is 800, and one set per household applies. The questionnaire and stay booking must be initiated by the end of tomorrow.

Details about this pillow set

Gel-infused fibers help regulate temperature during sleep

Breathable cotton cover with a sateen weave for softness

Hypoallergenic fill resists dust mites and common irritants

Medium density provides balanced support for side and back sleepers

Loft design adapts to different sleeping positions comfortably

Machine washable cover simplifies ongoing care and maintenance

Reserve Your Pillow Set + 2 Nights

Quantities are determined by program allocation and are limited to 800 sets. Access to stay dates and locations is based on program scheduling and availability. One pillow set per household.

Thank you for staying with Marriott. Your feedback is important to us.

You asked about the adjustments I made to the recipe. I swapped the white flour for a blend of almond and oat flour and that gave it a much richer texture without being too dense. The baking time needed to be extended by about eight minutes at a slightly lower temperature to keep the edges from browning too quickly. I used vanilla bean paste instead of extract and the flavor was noticeably deeper. Several people commented on how moist the crumb was. I recommend trying those adjustments and seeing if you get similar results.
