Marta Levchenko, 35

Outcome. "Levchenko Tech" is preparing a technical prototype for a QR document registry

World engine: UAH 120 thousand from the company's cash desk for the prototype — within the available funds (UAH 25 million in the account).

Place: University

Thoughts

The city continues to decline, and I don't want to lose momentum on pretty words. I have three practical tasks: to secure the university channel, not to spoil the partnership with Roman regarding the workspace, and to give Serhii not a presentation, but a real tool for the bank and the city. It is important for me that daily coordination is in one pair of hands, not spread across emails. I see a chance to assemble this into a system: people, schedule, prototype, candidate selection. If we do it quickly and accurately, Cherkasy can still be a growth base, not just an address.

Options

1. Put Oksana Nazarenko in charge of daily coordination and confirm the format for Artem.
2. Arrange a meeting with Roman and finalize the office space.
3. Launch the registry prototype for Serhii and provide the budget without delays.

Choice. I choose the first path as the main one: without a clear coordinator, the university channel will fall apart, and I need a stable flow of people. At the same time, I don't let go of Roman and Serhii, but first, I fix the process management. "Levchenko Tech" has two priorities this year: young specialists from the university and real transparency tools for partner projects. We need not presentations, but working solutions that can be tested and launched quickly."

Statement: «Levchenko Tech has two priorities this year: young specialists from the university and real transparency tools for partner projects. We need not presentations, but working solutions that can be tested and launched quickly.»

Diary. Today I didn't get scattered: I recorded daily coordination through Oksana, gave Artem a clear format, and agreed on a prototype for Serhii. I ask Roman to come for a substantive conversation about the office. Remember: I need processes that can be launched and tested, not just more promises.

World engine: Letters and meeting arrangements without expenses.

Place: University

Thoughts

End of the year, and I still have two knots that cannot be untied: the university channel and the office platform. With Yurii, there is already a specific time, so I need to avoid generalities and give him a clear framework. Roman is also finalizing the package, so it's important not to lose momentum and not let his documents hang in anticipation of my response. I want to establish Cherkasy as a growth base, but only through written agreements and a live flow of people.

Options

1. Send Yurii a brief agenda and schedule a meeting
2. Arrange a separate conversation with Roman about renting the hub
3. Try to combine both tracks into one week without new expenses

Choice. I choose the first option: first, I will confirm the meeting with Yurii and give him the structure, as this is the fastest way to get a real student enrollment. I will respond to Roman separately so as not to mix two different processes.

Diary. Don't get scattered: confirmed the meeting with Yurii and gave him a clear structure to avoid wasting time on improvisation. I separately asked Roman for time to discuss the hub rental. Remember: Cherkasy for me is about people, schedules, and signed agreements.

World engine: Communication and organizing meetings — no expenses.

Place: University

Thoughts

Roman gave me exactly what I was looking for: readiness to fix the terms in writing. This is a chance not to scatter my efforts and to push through the local course while the university channel provides real people, not just promises. I see two fronts: to secure the memorandum with the office and not to lose students due to slow coordination. We need to hurry, but without chaos.

Options

1. Sign a memorandum with Roman and fix the schedule for the office
2. Prepare a meeting with Yurii Moroz and Lidiia Mazur
3. Send Artem a list of competencies for the STEM sprint

Choice. I choose the second option as the main one: students give me personnel momentum, and without it, the IT hub remains just talk. Simultaneously, I don't let go of Roman and Artem so as not to lose the threads already launched.

Diary. Roman confirmed his readiness for the memorandum — this is a good sign. Today I didn't scatter my efforts: I'm holding the office track and pushing the university channel. Remember: I need not words about development, but people, documents, and momentum.

World engine: Organizational communications without expenses – accepted.

Place: City Council

Thoughts

I see that the university track is finally moving from talk to work, and this is more important to me than any beautiful presentations. I need to quickly finalize the topics, people, and calendar to maintain momentum and not let bureaucracy dilute everything. In parallel, I am maintaining contact with the office and the team in Cherkasy: it is important now not to spread ourselves too thin, but to secure a quality personnel channel and not break the trust of our partners.

Options

1. Send Yurii the framework with three topics and arrange a short meeting.
2. Confirm program blocks with Andrii and appoint artifact responsible parties.
3. Synchronize with Oksana on recruitment and the list of vacancies for students.

Choice. I choose the first and second steps together within a single move: this way I will solidify both the content of the STEM track and the operational part. This gives us speed without chaos.

Diary. Today I finalized the framework for the STEM track: three topics, three slots, one responsible person from our side. I am not spending money and not postponing the decision, because I need a stable channel of students for "Levchenko Tech", not noise. Remember: Cherkasy grows through people and quick agreements.

World engine: Personal messages without financial obligations.

Place: University

Thoughts

I see two fronts at once: the STEM track with the university is already moving, and it cannot be lost in conversations; at the same time, Roman is pushing for Dnipro Sky through the bank and wants my public endorsement. I don't want to sign off on a beautiful facade without numbers and protection for the company. Therefore, this time I will clearly fix the educational track, and regarding the hub, I will ask for a written memorandum with specific conditions only, without emotions and advances.

Options

1. Send Artem the topics and format, Roman — the conditions for the memorandum
2. Arrange a meeting with Roman and bargain offline
3. Publicly support Dnipro Sky without additional conditions

Choice. I choose the first option: this way I don't slow down the university track and at the same time I don't sign off on Dnipro Sky on someone else's terms. I need specifics and control, not another presentation.

Diary. I have secured the STEM track through the university and have not allowed Dnipro Sky to turn into a conversation without numbers. I have set written conditions for Roman so as not to lose leverage. Remember: my strength lies in quick but protected agreements.

Outcome. Levchenko Tech strengthens its partnership with the university

World engine: Correspondence, mentoring hours – without financial changes to this course.

Place: City Council

Thoughts

I see three lines: an office in the city, a STEM track as a personnel channel, and the risk of blurring the focus between nice words and real deadlines. Roman gives me infrastructure, Yurii and Andriy give me people, and right now I need not promises, but paper, a calendar, and control over execution. I don't want to make loud statements in advance, but I want to fix the conditions so that both the bank and the team see the seriousness.

Options

1. Secure the office with Roman and keep the headquarters in Cherkasy
2. Push the STEM track with Yurii and Andriy as a personnel channel
3. Postpone everything until a full memorandum and a bank response are received

Choice. I choose the first option: the office space gives me a foundation for growth, and it will be easier to build both the personnel channel and the bank's trust on it. But I am not signing up for a pretty picture without technical and legal safeguards.

Statement: «Levchenko Tech strengthens its partnership with the university and prepares the next stage of growth in Cherkasy – through people, training, and jobs, not through loud promises.»

Diary. Today I didn't scatter my efforts: I secured movement on the office with Roman and didn't let go of the university track. It's important for me to keep Cherkasy as a growth base, but only where there are written conditions, personnel, and real momentum.

Outcome. "Levchenko Tech" launches a career block with the university for student recruitment

World engine: UAH 35,000 from the company's cash register within available funds.

Place: University

Thoughts

Yurii asks for specifics, not abstractions – and this is exactly the style I need. If I want “Levchenko Tech” to grow in Cherkasy, the university must see not promises, but a normal selection process and people who make quick decisions. At the same time, I don't want to spread myself too thin: кадры are important now, and the office with Roman can be pushed through a separate track.

Options

1. Send Yuriy the coordinator and close the career block
2. Arrange a separate meeting with Yuriy before the event
3. Switch to office conditions with Roman

Choice. I choose the first option: it's the fastest way to put the university track into action. Yuriy asks for clarity, and I need a stable personnel channel.

Statement: «"Levchenko Tech" is launching a practical career block with Prydniprovskyi University: a short presentation, live interviews, and quick student selection. Cherkasy needs not slogans, but the first jobs for young people."»

Diary. I closed the response to Yuriy Moroz in a businesslike manner: I provided the coordinator's contact and reserved the budget for the career block. It is important for me that the university channel becomes regular, not a one-time event. I need to remember: speed and clarity are more important now than beautiful presentations.

World engine: Scheduling a meeting and preparing an internal list of requirements – without expenses and construction this turn.

Thoughts

I see two parallel fronts: people and space. The University provides me with future employees, and Dnipro Sky can provide them with a place to stay in Cherkasy. I don't want to spread myself too thin, but I can't lose Roman either: such opportunities for an office space are rare. At the same time, the student pilot needs to be brought to specifics, otherwise it will fall apart into nice words. It is important for me to maintain momentum without signing anything blindly.

Options

1. Meet with Roman and finalize the office parameters in Dnipro Sky
2. Meet with Yurii Moroz and finalize student enrollment
3. Focus on written agreements with both without a meeting

Choice. I choose to meet with Roman: premises and rental conditions are now critical for company growth. I am not stopping the student track, but it can be finalized through correspondence this turn.

Statement: «Cherkasy will be able to retain IT teams only when there are both people and normal workspaces. I want young people to have not only education here, but also a place to start their careers.»

Diary. Today I chose a practical path: first the office space with Roman, because it is difficult to grow a team without space, and I am keeping the student channel through correspondence. Remember: Cherkasy for me is not beautiful promises, but a place where people can learn, work, and stay.

Thoughts

I see two strong but different paths: quickly establish myself in the city through the university's personnel channel or not miss the chance for a quality office in "Dnipro Sky". It is important for me not to spread myself too thin: first people and the venue, then scale. Therefore, this turn, I will confirm the university, give Artem specifics for the pilot, and separately go into a conversation with Roman so as not to lose the office option. The application from the Administrative Services Center is interesting, but it is already a second priority.

Options

1. Confirm the university block and provide figures for the pilot
2. Meet with Roman regarding the office in Dnipro Sky
3. Respond to the idea of a city application

Choice. I choose to combine the university block with a meeting with Roman: this provides both people and infrastructure. This is how I will accelerate Cherkasy towards an IT hub.

Diary. I don't want to spread myself thin. Today I confirmed the university channel and gave Artem specific figures for the 2027 pilot. Separately, I am requesting a meeting with Roman regarding "Dnipro Sky", because without a working venue and people, the IT hub will not become a reality.

Outcome. "Levchenko Tech" is launching a paid student intake in the fall.

World engine: Funds within the company's cash, intention regarding interns - communication without consequences.

Place: University

Thoughts

I see two things: the city is again living without a spurt, and my company is already large enough not to wait for staff to come to the door on their own. I need not another beautiful dialogue, but a channel for people: students, internships, quick selection, normal pay, an office nearby. And at the same time, I don't want to get stuck in Cherkasy just out of habit — if there's no movement here, I have an alternative. Therefore, this round I am testing whether it is possible to really build up a team here faster than by moving.

Options

1. Launch a new paid internship program with the university
2. Request a meeting with the mayor regarding IT offices and quick approvals
3. Focus on negotiations about moving to Kyiv

Choice. I choose the university track: it gives me people faster than any advertising, and it's the most realistic way to check if Cherkasy has a future for the growth of "Levchenko Tech".

Statement: «"Levchenko Tech" is launching a new paid student intake: we are looking for young people who want to work in IT right now, not "sometime after graduation". Cherkasy can support strong teams if given a quick start and fair conditions."»

Diary. I don't want to waste time on general conversations. Today I invested in a real personnel channel through the university: UAH 180,000 for the launch of the intake, a request to Yurii Moroz, and a bet on quick student selection. If Cherkasy can be an IT hub, it starts with the people we hire and train here.
