Field notes
The follow-ups went out
Last week one meeting was scheduled, and we said the reply counts were too small to read. This week Shannon's follow-up messages went out in numbers for the first time, and the replies rose with them.
The window
Between 2nd and 10th November, across all accounts, 29,789 prospects were found and Shannon admitted 3,509. That is an admission rate of 11.8%. Shannon Desktop · 10 Nov 2026
This window is nine days, not seven, and its first day is also the last day of last week's window.

Three things we read
- The admission rate held again. It was 12.0%, then 10.3%, and is now 11.8%. That is three windows under 12%. Shannon is hard on who she admits, and at this stage we are not trying to get more through. Fewer than one prospect in eight makes it.
- Replies rose with the follow-ups. Last week 18 prospects replied and 6 conversations were open. This week 66 replied and 41 conversations are open. The follow-up is the message a person gets after they accept the invitation. On our own accounts the follow-ups all but stopped early in the window. A fix went in the day after, and they have gone out since.
- More meetings scheduled, still none held. 3 meetings are scheduled, up from 1. No meeting has been completed, so we still cannot report one.

What changed for Shannon this week
- A follow-up now waits for a clear inbox. Shannon reads both inboxes for a reply before a follow-up is released, and she collects new replies before each run starts. Nobody who has already answered gets a nudge.
- Version 0.7 is signed off. Shannon's new agents keep a much better journal and memory of their work. It also prepares her for a wider set of actions, and for new channels in the coming weeks. It went out as these numbers were read, so they do not show it yet.

What we are not saying
These are counts from one window, read by hand from the dashboard. They are reported, not targeted, and they prove nothing yet.
The follow-ups and the replies rose together. That is not proof that one caused the other: more invitations were accepted this week too.
The columns do not divide cleanly. An invitation sent in this window can come from a message approved before it, which is why more invitations were sent than messages approved. We have again left out the dashboard columns whose meaning we have not pinned down.
What we'll report next Monday
The same table for a clean seven days, the first numbers under version 0.7, and the first completed meetings if any are held. Shannon Desktop · 10 Nov 2026
