Tuesday, 9:14 am — Pershing rejected 14 ACATs overnight
Ops Slack lights up with NIGO codes you've seen before — except three are new and the migration goes live in 11 days. You pull the custodian reject log, ping the Orion team for an account-opening trace, and update the PRD to add a pre-submission validator.
