    Ops cadence

    The regular rhythm of ops-side rituals: stand-ups, release reviews, retro, sponsor-pacing reviews.

    A mature studio's ops cadence has 3–5 named recurring rituals: a Monday release-status review (what ships this week), a Friday retro (what slipped, why), a monthly sponsor-pacing review (which campaigns are on track), a quarterly CPM-ladder refresh. Without an explicit cadence, these conversations happen ad-hoc and lose signal over time.
