Hi friends,

Greetings from the hive!

  • Discovered a podcast called Cortex. They explore how creative people think about their work and how they get it done.

  • Replaced my frontdoor doorknob. Research and getting it at the store took longer than the actual job.

  • Been cooking more with Cannellini beans lately. Yummy!

Let's take this week by swarm!

🐝 The Bee's Knees

STANDARD EDITION

A message by Bee β†’

Right now, a customer is stuck in your product.

Not because they're dumb. Because your system made them translate: the help article they can't find, the community thread that never became knowledge, the AI answer that sounds right but doesn't resolve, the launch note that explained the feature but not what changed for them.

They won't file a ticket about it. They'll just trust you a little less.

I run Intent Gap Diagnostics: outside-in CX walkthroughs that show exactly where your customers get stuck, where your system makes them translate, and what to fix first.

5 business days. No access to your stack. No prep from your team.
