Topics
Sun 13 Sep · vs same weekday last year: Sun 14 Sep 2025
What the week's messages were about, how much of each topic reads as unhappy, and where it concentrates. The counts come from the inbox; the sentences come from the model, and each one carries the figure it was read from.
The period in short
- The period brought 56 messages, +11 against the period before. What is in it is the largest topic at 28.6% and is almost entirely neutral.
- Grind and brewing is the mover, up against the period before since the brewing guide of 8 September. The questions have one answer each; the reviews on the same subject do not, and that is the part to read twice.
- Where an order is, and missing or wrong items, are 23.2% of the messages between them and the great majority of the unhappy ones. Neither is answered by writing better — they are answered by the parcel being right.

Messages, and the unhappy part of them
Two lines rather than a dozen: the channel palette belongs to channels and the status colours are spoken for, so the topics are ranked below instead of coloured here.

“Unhappy” is the model’s reading of what was written, weighted by topic. Nothing on these surfaces asks a customer whether they were satisfied, so the page never calls it satisfaction.
Every topic
Ranked by volume, with what each one is in the desk's own words. A topic exists because somebody has to do something different about it.

A rising topic is not the same as a problem: what is in the bag is the biggest topic on the page and is almost entirely neutral. The column to read beside volume is the unhappy share.

Wholesale, invoices and applications are about the shop rather than a product, so they are not here; nor is the long tail of the catalogue. The table's total sits below the period's for both reasons, and is not padded to match it.
Topics worth a second look
When is it back
One line is out and people are asking when it comes back. The answer is only as good as the incoming batch date, and the draft quotes the warehouse rather than a guess — so if the batch slips, every waiting reply slips with it.

Grind and brewing
The brewing guide went out on 8 September and the questions followed it: which grind for which machine, on the blends rather than the single origins. The web store saw the same week on the V60 set it recommends, which is the cheerful half of this. The other half is on the Reviews page, where a run of low stars says the grind picked at checkout is not always the grind that shipped.

Subscription
Pausing, skipping, changing the grind, and one double charge. It grows with the subscription itself, and half of it is a question the playbook still cannot answer — whether a month can be paused rather than cancelled.
- Subscription, this period
- 3 messages, 5.4% of them all
Wholesale and office
The smallest topic on the page and the one worth the most: cafes and offices asking for a price list. The desk cannot quote, so the whole job here is to catch it within the day and hand it to sales with the right detail attached.

Ask the inbox
The figures in an answer are counted from the messages themselves; the model only writes the sentence around them.
How this page is worked out
Where each figure comes from, and what none of them can say.
- 1Every surface is read on its own clock and each message is filed under one topic, the desk's own list rather than a model's clustering. A topic exists because somebody has to do something different about it.
- 2Sentiment is the model's reading of what was written. Nothing on these surfaces asks a customer whether they were satisfied, so the page says “reads as unhappy” and never “satisfaction”.
- 3The comparison is the same length of days immediately before the period, or the same dates a year back. A day still running is only ever set against the same hours of another day.
- 4A single day would draw a chart of one point, so the chart above shows the fortnight around it with the day marked. Every other figure on the page belongs to the period chosen.
