output Report arrives, nobody reads it Updated Sep 12, 2026
Output Not Valuable
The bot runs fine and produces things you never read. Fix the format and the filter, not the schedule.
An unread report is worse than no report: it trains you to ignore the channel, and then real signal dies with it. The fix is almost never “more detail” — it’s a tighter filter and a shorter format.
Restore in this order: (1) cap the format — N items, M bullets, one link each; (2) add the quiet-day rule so silence means something; (3) prune the config to what you’d defend out loud. Then ask the bot to self-grade its last three reports against the new rules — the gap it finds is usually the one you’d find, only faster.
