Hey everyone. My sister runs a small retail business on Amazon where she sells jewellery and some other accessories. Someone lifted her main product image and rewrote most of her listing content, then launched it under a different brand. We reported it through Brand Registry and the listing came down after a few days. But two weeks later the same images showed up again under a different seller, but they were cropped enough so it looked like they were trying to avoid an image match. Brand Registry works for one off reports, but it doesn't seem to help much when the same people keep opening new accounts. Please let me know if there's a tool or service that can help because this has turned into an ongoing problem

I'm working on my third feature script and I've realized I've been formatting title cards inconsistently for years because I've picked up different conventions from different sources without ever really learning the proper way to do it. I'm talking about onscreen text like "Three Years Earlier" or "NEW YORK CITY" or location and time stamps that need to be communicated to the reader as something the audience will see on screen rather than dialogue or description. What's the actual standard format that wont get me dinged by a reader, and is there variation by genre or industry context that I should know about?

I've been making short films as a hobby for a few years and I recently realized I've been using shot, scene, and sequence almost interchangeably without really understanding the technical distinctions between them, which is causing genuine confusion when I'm trying to communicate with collaborators who use the terms correctly. I know roughly that a shot is a single continuous take, a scene is a unit of action in a single location, and a sequence is a larger narrative unit, but the edges of those definitions are where I get confused, especially when I'm trying to plan a shot list or talk to an editor about the structure of a film. Anyone have a clear way of thinking about these distinctions that has actually helped you in practice?

Hey guys, looking for all the feedback I can get. Every month the revenue numbers look better and every month I look at what's left over and it makes no sense. We're busier than ever, tables turning faster, online orders up, and somehow the bank account tells a completely different story. Food costs feel like they're creeping but I can't pinpoint where, labor is eating more than it used to, and I don't know if the problem is my menu pricing or my spending or both.

Has anyone used small business consulting specifically for restaurants where revenue isn't the issue but profit is? Has it been effective at all?

Mid size firm here, we've pushed back on AI transcription for two years over privilege concerns. Partners finally agreed to revisit if IT can find something the privilege analysis doesn't kill.

The bar in our jurisdiction has issued guidance but it's vague enough that interpretation falls on us. Our IT director is doing the technical evaluation, I'm doing the privilege side, and we keep landing on the same questions. Where does the transcript live? Who can pull it? Can the vendor be compelled to disclose under their TOS? What does the DPA say about training on the data?

Other firms that have cleared this internally: which tools have your IT and privilege counsel both signed off on? Or did you all give up and stay analog?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a quiz builder where the follow-up is part of the platform, not something I bolt on afterward. Every recommendation I find leads to Typeform or Interact but both still need a separate email tool to do anything useful with the lead after they finish. What can I use when the email automation side matters as much as the quiz?

Most lead scoring content I find is written for SaaS companies tracking product usage signals. Behavioral scoring, feature adoption, login frequency. But none of that applies when you're selling a high ticket service and the lead has never touched your product.

What signals are you guys scoring on for coaches, consultants, financial advisors and all that kind of business? And how are you capturing them without a full enterprise CRM setup? Would love to hear your input.

We just booked our videographer and the contract says "up to 6 months". Is that normal? Or is it on the slow end? Need to know what to realistically expect. What was your actual wait?

Recently a colleague told me that they could "learn the guitar in a week or so" if they felt like it. I took months to learn to play my first song on a guitar. It annoyed me how wrong people get a hobby and underestimate the effort that goes into it when they haven't tried it. What's something ppl get wrong or assume incorrectly about your hobby?

Putting together my vendor list and curious where people had the most luck finding theirs. Instagram has been mixed, response rates are low and pricing is opaque. Google mostly returns blog posts and sponsored content. New York is extremely big and crowded and so are the vendor results so its getting super frustrating.

For people who booked vendors they liked, where did you do most of your searching? One platform per category or did you bounce between sites for different things?
