Method

Every step has a script, every rule has a record.

A seven-step pipeline. Click a step: what is done, what is measured, which tool is used. The same pipeline works when the data source changes; only the content of the first two steps differs.

Step 1 · What is done

Scope and queries

keyword set, out-of-scope list, same-name/confusable-entity rules

Query sets are written for the brand, institution and person; same-name people and confusable entities are excluded from the start. The out-of-scope list matters as much as the query.

What is measured
Share of irrelevant records in the first pull
Tools
Keyword plan, negative list, test pull
If skipped
Every later step carries the noise; report volume inflates and the tone distribution comes out wrong.
Step 2 · What is done

Collection

raw data from 7 channels (CSV/API)

A period's pull from X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, news, Google reviews and forums; raw files are stored untouched. When the data source changes, only this step changes.

What is measured
Record counts per channel and gap check
Tools
Monitoring platform export, CSV/API
If skipped
A missing channel goes unnoticed; period comparison breaks.
Step 3 · What is done

Cleaning and relevance

brand-phrase filter, noise signatures, deduplication, AI spam gate

Scraper residue and structural junk are removed with a signature list; a record whose body does not contain the brand phrase cannot pass the gate; duplicates are merged. The AI spam classifier runs here and justifies every decision with a reason code.

What is measured
Precision and recall, separately
Tools
Python pipeline, LLM prompt v2, regression set
If skipped
Irrelevant content leaks into the report; the client says "this is not about us".
Step 4 · What is done

Taxonomy and sentiment

L1–L2 topic labels, tone; AI + human audit

Remaining records are labelled against a two-level topic taxonomy and by tone. AI labels, a human audits a sample; contradictions are added to the regression set.

What is measured
Number of label↔reason contradictions
Tools
Taxonomy file, classification script, audit sample
If skipped
Topic distribution drifts from period to period; trend commentary becomes unreliable.
Step 5 · What is done

Analysis

pivots, breakdowns, period comparison, sample content selection

Channel, topic and tone breakdowns; comparison with the previous period; sample content is selected by rule, not by whim.

What is measured
Consistency across periods
Tools
Pivot generator, card selection rules
If skipped
A different analyst picks different things each period; the report stays person-dependent.
Step 6 · What is done

Report

charts, cards and executive summary auto-placed into the template

Charts, cards and the executive summary are placed into the deck template by script. Font size, bullet count, colour — all read from decision records; the client sees no difference between periods.

What is measured
Preparation time (3–4 h → 40 min)
Tools
Deck engine, python-pptx, decision records
If skipped
Manual layout: hours, and inevitable inconsistency.
Step 7 · What is done

QA and delivery

audit scripts, decision-record check, scheduled sending

Gap, tone and metric audits run automatically; once the report gets its ready flag, scheduled delivery sends it, leaving evidence and a log.

What is measured
Number of post-delivery corrections
Tools
Audit scripts, Playwright delivery, log
If skipped
Wrong recipient, forgotten delivery, sends without evidence.

Four areas where we can work together

  1. 01

    Monitoring and reporting setup

    Query sets, taxonomy, report template and periodic workflow. Built from scratch or standardising an existing flow.

    Deliverable: a working pipeline + runbook

  2. 02

    AI classification setup and audit

    Spam/relevance and sentiment prompts, test sets, precision/recall measurement, vendor evaluation. Tells you in numbers how accurate your current AI output is, then fixes it.

    Deliverable: prompt + regression set + measurement report

  3. 03

    Report-generation automation

    Python automation of the raw-data-to-deck pipeline; QA audits; scheduled delivery.

    Deliverable: pipeline + QA scripts

  4. 04

    Corporate knowledge base design

    Moving team knowledge into a decision-recorded, searchable structure that AI agents can use.

    Deliverable: vault + router + linter
