Weekly meeting, 2 Nov 2026¶
Numbers: 207 listings, 238 views (+66 this week), 2 favorites, 0 sales, $0 revenue. Listings grew by 42.
What's working: The sugar-skull calavera design has 94 views, 36 of them this week, and is the only real traffic source. The ornate calavera has 28 views and 1 favorite. The cuatro guitar (Christmas, Puerto Rico) has 12 views and 1 favorite. The dimpled golf-ball watercolor (hobbies) has 9 views this week. Day of the Dead is over, so we won't make more of it.
What's not: 71 listings have no views, and most are 1–3 weeks old. Listing 4588954708 has 83 views and no sale, so the price and first photo need a look. The owner decides prices, so I'm not touching it.
Team: - Pixel: 7 jobs done and 61 failed (10% success). This is the main bottleneck. - Q: backlog 127, oldest item 34 days. - Merch: backlog 90. - Fixer: backlog 89. - Boss: backlog 31. - Scout, Buzz, Numbers, Coach: healthy.
Blocker: OpenRouter credits are -$0.05 and the review key hit its limit, so Q's reviews are failing. Fixing this comes before anything else. Until then the failure rate in the data is not a true reading.
Season plan (week of 2 Nov): Christmas x3 (heritage x2, humour x1) and Three Kings Day x2. Thanksgiving is Nov 26 and its listings have 0 views, so I'm rewriting those titles. The last Christmas designs are due Nov 16.
Decisions: - Variants: cuatro guitar (Christmas, heritage), dimpled golf ball (hobbies, evergreen) and sonar radar (humour, evergreen). - Rewrite titles: 5 zero-view listings that have no pending change. Two are Thanksgiving, two are Christmas pets, and one is a Christmas pencil holder. - Owner approvals pending: about 17 title/tag changes (#3–15, #57–61) are waiting for approval. This is also why I'm not queuing more rewrites on those listings.
Decisions (guardrails applied)¶
- More variants of: countries-a-wooden-cuatro-guitar-and-carved-guiro-resting-am, hobbies-a-detailed-watercolor-illustration-of-a-dimpled-whit, humour-a-vintage-sonar-radar-display-showing-a-lone-blip-agg
- Rewrite titles of: 4590308931, 4590319656, 4593652023, 4593651977, 4591138329
- Questions for the owner: 3
