Refinement

Taken over by later cycles — closeEverything but the re-extraction is done, and the corpus has since been re-extracted several times under the phase-2 schema (c8, c11, c12). The pickup note itself recommends closing.

To close: Write the Outcome: display and extraction work kept; re-extraction superseded by c8. · Move it to HISTORY.md and drop it from CYCLES.md.

last activity Aug 20 · waiting on Mark's OK to close (the pickup note recommends it)

Why we did this

The pipeline worked, but some calls had missing or wrong findings, and the dashboard didn't always show the right things.

What happened

Findings now come only from what customers themselves said, with how urgent they are and which pitch landed. Company pages were added. The planned full re-run never happened.

In wordsA finding is kept only if someone outside Qpoint said it.

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

market-analyst-c4-D1 Insights and key quotes come from non-Qpoint speakers only; a Qpoint employee's framing of a customer pain is excluded unless the customer confirmed it. — Mark Parson

So now

A finding is kept only if someone outside Qpoint said it.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

No ruling needed: the work itself is the change.

So now

Each call now records how urgent the prospect is and which pitch angle struck a chord.

Thanks to

People outside Qpoint first. Every thank-you points at something they said or made.
