Oddly Fitting Goods: weekly meeting, week of 28 Sep 2026

Numbers. 12 listings live across 3 designs (teacher book, Halloween black cat, Brandenburg Gate). 0 views, 0 favourites, 0 sales. The listings are days old and Etsy takes weeks to rank new ones, so this is expected, not a verdict. No variants decision can be made on zero signal.

Q (review). 13 rejections last week. Only 5 were real design faults (low-contrast text on black tees and totes ×2, edge clipping ×2, one budget stop). 6 were tooling failures: JSON parse errors and unparseable vision replies. 2 were near-duplicate flags against the German design, which suggests the duplicate hash is matching the product template rather than the artwork. Dev should fix the parser and check the hash before Monday, or rollovers will pile up for the wrong reason.

Pixel. The tees and totes fail on the same fault every time: dark text on the black blank. Default light text for dark garments.

Scout. Evergreen research puts family name sign, boyfriend gift, dog memorial gift and realtor gift at the top. Dog memorial fits Christmas pets and will carry all year. German Unity Day (3 Oct) and World Teachers' Day (5 Oct) are about to pass; those listings should be retitled as evergreen Berlin art and teacher gifts so they keep working.

Merch. Rewrite the 4 Brandenburg listings and 1 teacher listing to evergreen titles. Leave the Halloween cat alone; it is still in season.

Buzz. Grand Opening sale slide comes down around 11 Oct. Nothing else to push until listings have views.

Priorities next week 1. Run the 28 Sep plan slots (Halloween ×1, Muertos ×2, Christmas ×2) plus the 7 rollovers under the $2 cap; the owner kept the cap. 2. Fix the reviewer parse errors and the near-duplicate check. 3. Light text on dark garments by default. 4. Retitle the 5 listings above. 5. Owner: OpenRouter credits run out in about 4 days.

No variants this week: zero views means no design has earned one, and the budget is already oversubscribed with rollovers.
