GM meeting, week of 2026-09-27

Numbers. 12 listings live, all published this week. 0 views, 0 favourites, 0 sales. No signal yet: Etsy takes 2–4 weeks to rank new listings, so nothing here is a winner or a loser. Rewrite and variant decisions are deferred until at least one design has views.

Scout. Season plan approved. Next week (28 Sep): Halloween ×1 humour, Día de los Muertos ×2, Christmas ×2 (pets, family). Evergreen research puts "family name sign" (score 607) far ahead of anything else; it is the first evergreen slot when one opens (week of 9 Nov).

Pixel / Q. 7 of last week's designs were rejected. Only 1 was a real design fault (mug clipped). The other 6 were pipeline failures: 3 unparseable reviewer replies, 2 near-duplicate hits at distance 0 against the same earlier slug (suggests identical renders, a bug not a design problem), and 1 stopped by the daily budget. All 7 roll over ahead of the planned 5, so next week's queue is 12 designs.

Merch. No rewrites this week. All 12 listings are under 7 days old; retitling now would reset what little ranking they have. Revisit at the 2026-10-11 meeting.

Buzz. Pinterest CSV is running. Grand Opening sale ends ~11 Oct; owner removes the slide.

Budget. OpenRouter spent $2.04 of the $2.00 daily budget; images are 80% of it. $7.96 credit left, about 4 days at this rate. With 12 designs queued, the cap will stop the run again.

Next week's priorities

  1. Fix the pipeline before the Monday run: reviewer JSON parsing, and the distance-0 duplicate check.
  2. Run the 28 Sep slots plus rollovers, in that order.
  3. No variants, no rewrites: wait for views.
  4. Owner: credits and daily budget (questions below).

Decisions (guardrails applied)

  • More variants of: none
  • Rewrite titles of: none
  • Questions for the owner: 2

Costs last week: {"analyst": 0.0, "gm": 0.0}; OpenRouter: Today: $2.0379 of $2.00 daily budget
