Alice Autuori's status conflict (flagged last commit) is resolved -
the Demographics session confirmed directly with Mckinley,
independent of this session, that she does follow the Page, verified
against her LinkedIn profile, and already restored her Directory
record and removed the outreach_contacts.py duplicate.

Supply Chain Manager / Procurement at a PCB manufacturer - not a

Track #6's commit 3527401 said Mckinley had confirmed Alice Autuori
doesn't follow the Page, and removed her into outreach_contacts.py.
Mckinley has now confirmed directly, independent of that, that she
does follow - checked her LinkedIn profile to settle the conflict.
Restored her original Directory record, removed the outreach_contacts.py
entry, and recomputed the Study page back to 150/130. Kept the
Geography-chart drift fix from the prior correction (Germany/US/India/
no-company counts) since that was independently verified against
source data and unrelated to Alice's status either way. Also caught
and fixed a separate stale figure while re-verifying: the tagline-only
title count had drifted to 19, live data says 20.
Twenty CRM restoration still pending - connector unavailable this
session.

Track #6 confirmed Alice Autuori doesn't actually follow the Page and
moved her out of the Directory into outreach_contacts.py (commit
3527401), but the Study page was never recomputed to match - it still
reflected the stale 150-follower state.
Fully recomputed all six charts and prose directly from the live
Directory data rather than hand-decrementing, which also caught a
pre-existing drift unrelated to Alice: the Geography chart's Germany/
US/India counts and its "No company listed" bucket had gone stale.

Mckinley confirmed directly that Alice Autuori does not actually

29/09's Carousel ("The two pillars of TXservices") is now in a fresh
export and audited: likes A1/T2 (Sabine Brock audience; Aleksandra
Kotenko, Mckinley Black team), 1 team comment, 3 team reposts ("the
usual suspects" - Aleksandra, Peter, Mckinley). Real Eng % 10.0%,
September's new growth/KPI numbers: 126->142 (+16, +12.7%).
This surfaces a real correction: July actually had 4 Carousels
(09/07, 16/07, 23/07, 30/07), not the 1 everyone's mental model had
been built around, ranging 6.0%-45.0%. Across all 6 Carousels run
this campaign (4 July + 1 August + 1 September) the format averages
25.9% Real Eng %, still the best of any format, but ranges 6.0% to
50.8% - not the clean "wins every time" story the campaign-end
summary told before this. Rewrote September's and campaign-end's
Executive Summaries throughout: the trilogy/stage narratives, the
best-posting-day findings (Tuesday's edge was never confounded by
format once September separated the variables), the recommendations
(pair Carousel with a named claim instead of trusting the format
alone, test the untried Carousel+pain-point combination).
Also fixed a conflation Mckinley flagged directly: July's poll (a
genuine validation test - does this audience respond to an
interactive format at all) and 17/09's pilot-partner ask (a direct
conversion CTA) are different kinds of things and were wrongly
grouped under one "validation" framing in both September's and the
campaign-end's summaries - now described as what they actually are.

Track #6's a677056 removed 5 non-follower records (Philipp Brandt,
Arunangshu Debnath, Simon Sebold, Chen Shen, Martin Uhlig) that had
contaminated the 147-record set my previous recompute (572887b) was
built against. Namrata Sharma and Renske M. van der Veen are confirmed
genuine followers and were unaffected by the removal.
Full recompute of all six charts and all affected prose against the
corrected 142-record dataset, verified via script. Re-checked the two
figures flagged as drifted/unreconcilable in the prior commit:
1st-degree connections correctly returns to 6%/94% at 142 (the 5%/95%
was an artifact of the contaminated 147 count); "Research/Engineering
readers 38%" still can't be reconciled against any live field
combination and stays flagged as a pre-existing stale figure.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Mckinley checked LinkedIn directly and confirmed Arunangshu Debnath
does not follow the Page, despite being added to the Follower
Directory. Root cause: this session added 15 people to the Directory
straight from post-engagement audits (08/09, 15/09, 22/09) without
verifying follow status — the exact mistake outreach_contacts.py's
own docstring warns against ("assumed every remaining entry was a
real follower"). A separate session (Demographics, which owns the
Directory) picked up 5 of these placeholders this morning, enriched
them further, and recomputed Follower Study's charts against the
resulting inflated 147-record dataset.
Moves all 15 people (Arunangshu Debnath, Simon Sebold, Martin Uhlig,
Chen Shen, Philipp Brandt, Dr. Sonia Utermann, Dr. Jefferson do
Rosario Stelzer, Sani Harouna-Mayer, Shrouk Ehab, Harish
Purushothaman, Mallika K., Sebastian Sell, Azat Khadiev, Ali A.,
Maximilian Harr) from the Directory to outreach_contacts.py, where
engaged-non-follower records belong. Directory count: 156 -> 142
(140 baseline + 2 legitimate new followers the Demographics session
added this morning, Namrata Sharma and Renske M. van der Veen, not
yet reflected in the Sep 26 export). Follower Study's charts/prose
in assets/follower_study.html are now stale against the corrected
dataset — that file belongs to the Demographics session, flagging
rather than editing it here.

Mckinley provided the remaining 8 URLs directly (9 records, since the
two Mckinley Black entries needed separate URLs for their two real
LinkedIn identities), closing out the gap the web research pass
couldn't resolve on its own (namesake collisions, internal accounts).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Web-searched each of the 26 followers with a blank linkedin_url (mostly
the batch added via individual screenshots rather than a bulk export,
which never captured the profile URL). Applied 17 confirmed matches
(verified against name + company + role, not guessed from name alone).
Sabine Brock's URL was derived from her public post slug (linkedin.com/
posts/sabinebrock_...), not a directly-confirmed profile link - flagged
as slightly lower confidence than the rest.
9 remain unresolved: too many namesakes with no way to confirm
(Iryna Platonova, Almira Tolstova, Francesco Marzari, Kilian Frank,
Rishabh Moolya, Dr. Ravinder Reddy Mogulla, Sourav Kumar - blank
profile to begin with), plus 2 internal TXproducts people (Mckinley
Black, Niklas Meidow) better sourced directly than via web search.
Side finding, not yet acted on: search results show Bernhard H. is
CEO of XPLORAYTION GmbH, not an unspecified individual contributor as
currently classified (no title was visible on his original screenshot).

3 of the 35 flagged as domain-adjacent worth a second look: Bernhard H./

CRM Research/Outreach caught this in review: the guidebook §8 spec says
notes should be "just the original bucket label, no explanation," but my
last edit put verbose reasoning in these 4 notes, including one that
claimed a specific Mckinley confirmation inline. Fixed to the terse
"LinkedIn Seniority: <bucket>" format the guidebook itself examples.
The reasoning for each call stays in git history, not in CRM-facing data.

Confirmed by Mckinley 2026-09-20: when a title has a "Senior"/"Sr." qualifier
AND an unambiguous higher-authority base role (Manager, named Group/Ecosystem
Leader), resolve to the highest authority implied by the full title, not
mechanically to IC-Senior/Lead/Principal. Corrected: Dr. Eleni Mumtsidu
(Sr. Business Development Manager), Veronika Reichboth (Innovation Ecosystem
Leader), Bridget Murphy (two named Group Leader titles outrank her secondary
"Senior Research Scientist" credential), Dr. Ravinder Reddy Mogulla (Sr. Dy.
General Manager — confirmed correct, was flagged as a possible rule conflict,
Mckinley confirmed Director is right).

Additive only, per Mckinley's direction not to disturb the Study page's
existing Seniority/Function/Sector taxonomy. New fields prep a clean
Twenty migration export per the CRM Research data model guidebook §8:
- roleLevel: derived from each person's raw job title text via the
guidebook's §1 decision-order rules (not copied from the Seniority
bucket, since it's coarser than Twenty's 9 tiers). Ambiguous cases
left blank or fallback-mapped with a roleLevelNote explaining why.
- department: direct copy of Function, except Admin/Assistant and
Executive/Management (Role Level signals, not department names).
- industry / industryOther: Sector reclassified per-record against
Twenty's Industry enum (Academia/Research Institute split into
Research & Collaborations vs Academia vs blank; Semiconductor/
Aerospace/Defense split per-company; Photonics/Laser/Optics direct;
TXproducts internal routes to Category=Internal, not Industry).
Medical/Life Sciences (not covered by §8) mapped to Other with
industryOther text, flagged back to CRM Research as a spec gap.
"Other named company"/Unknown/no-company buckets left blank per
§8's own no-guessing default.

Notable match for TXproducts' own space: XPLORAYTION provides synchrotron-

Also fixed a pre-existing drift in the Notable Clusters table found while
auditing it for this batch: DESY row's count was correct but Cecilia
Farias Marchant's role was never added to its note text, and the row-sum/
distinct-headcount footnote had accumulated a real error (claimed two
cross-row dual-affiliations, only one exists). Rewrote the DESY row from

- Dynamic-month architecture: all 7 Reports insights pages now read from a
shared reports-selected-month Store instead of being hardcoded to July, so
navigating between pages keeps whatever month is selected on Report
Overview. Hand-curated July-only content (Core Message trilogy/register,
Audience/Team audit) falls back to plain "not yet written up"/"pending

- Audited 04/08 and 06/08 against LinkedIn's own Reactions/Comments/Reposts

into August.
- Fixed Follower Study's composition stats to exclude internal team members
(was counting Daniel/Aleksandra/Peter/Mckinley as followers, inflating the
total past the real 111 shown elsewhere in the app).
- Added outreach_contacts.py: a running list of engaged non-followers

can't reintroduce the same team-inflation bug.
- Roadmap's Traction by Format now shows both LinkedIn's raw Reported Avg

The Board and Handbook callouts named Mckinley Black specifically as
the one connecting; Peter Gaal and Daniel Schmidt are also TXproducts
admins, so wording now refers to "whichever admin" is doing the
outreach. Also swapped both callouts from the blue gradient to the
existing pale-yellow controls-bg treatment, with light/dark variants.
goto_messaging.html no longer holds cut-and-paste message templates,
it's now a pure explanation of LinkedIn's Page vs. personal-profile
mechanics, connection-degree rules, and what actually grows the
TXproducts follower count (personal invites, Premium Company Page,
and Sponsored Content/Campaign Manager), with links back to the
Directory and Outreach Board.
follower_directory.html: renamed the third toggle button to "Handbook
of the Rules", added #board hash support so links can open straight
to the board, and added a callout on the board clarifying it drives
personal relationships/engagement, not the Page follower count.
Adds assets/goto_messaging.html: a modular intro/tenure/sector/ask
message matrix for LinkedIn follower outreach, reachable from the
Follower Directory's view toggle row.
Sinan Bubik (ITU/Istanbul Technical University, Partner - Business
Development, personally in Munich) added to the Directory and Study,
full recompute applied. Turkey is a brand-new country in this dataset.
Checked against the Jul 28 vs Aug 3 export diff and confirmed not yet
visible in any export, dated August 2026 same as recent additions.
Reviewed LinkedIn's own followers list, ordered by actual follow date,
which directly confirmed her real join month as July 2026, not August
as previously assumed from indirect Location-export diffing. No
headcount change (110 to 110), only date attribution.
This resolves the "one more real follower still unidentified" gap
flagged in the July 31/Aug 3 correction: the Directory's July cohort
now matches the dashboard's own LinkedIn-sourced net new followers
figure for July exactly (22 to 22).
Peter Gaal, an existing follower dated March 2023, was also flagged by
the same followers list as showing July 2026, but that correction is
not applied yet: moving him too would push the July cohort to 23
against the dashboard's confirmed 22, so it needs further review
before changing.

Alexander Rack (ESRF synchrotron scientist, Grenoble) and Tina Schmidt
(HZDR innovation manager) added to the Directory and Study, full
recompute applied. Both checked against the Jul 28 vs Aug 3 export
diff and confirmed genuinely not yet visible in any export (unlike
the last 3 additions), so dated August 2026 same as before.
Milena Petković, Paul Evans, and Simone Vadilonga were dated August
2026 on assumption (their profile-page screenshots showed no explicit
follow date). Diffing the Location breakdown between a July 28 and
August 3 export showed exact matches for all three (Greater Madison
Area appearing fresh, Berlin increasing by exactly 2), placing their
real join dates in the already-tracked July 30-31 growth window instead.
Corrected to July 2026 in the Directory — no headcount change (still
108), and no change to the Study's growth timeline since both months
fall in the same "2026 H2" bucket. Added a methodology note explaining
the correction and flagging one more July 30-31 follower still unidentified.
