I'm 30, based in Casablanca, 173cm. Working in tech (support engineer), so I've got a decent balance between stability and free time.

Some things about me: I play guitar, I love traveling whenever I get the chance , and I'm a gamer too.

Not really looking for anything super specific in terms of a checklist more just open to seeing where things go with the right person. What matters most to me is someone genuine, no mind games, and good communication. I'd rather have an honest conversation early than guess where we stand.

Ideally someone in or around Casablanca, mid-late 20s, but I'm not rigid about it if there's a real connection.

If any of this resonates, feel free to DM me ,happy to chat.

We lost 3 big deals in Q1 and the CRO wants me to figure out why, i'm the RevOps lead at a series-A B2B martech, and we have all the calls recorded in Gong but doing a real win/loss analysis means me coding dozens of transcripts by hand without a consistent framework, so themes shift between deals depending on what i flag.

Tried just reading the Gong call summaries but they don't surface the why behind objections, without the underlying reasoning.

So i need a workflow that compresses a quarter of recordings into themes without me being the listening bottleneck, and ideally before next quarter's exec review.

saw some threads here recommending ai tools for this like Avoma, BuildBetter, and Fathom, but i can't tell if any of them handle structured theme extraction across a quarter of calls or just summarize each one.

PMM at a B2B fintech, doing a positioning refresh and need to pull messaging signals from our last quarter of sales calls.

We record everything since legal made it standard, but i've never had a workflow for surfacing what customers say in their own words across a backlog this size. Even pulling quotes by hand from a few calls takes me an afternoon, and the backlog is hundreds of hours.

Currently i'm stuck between summarization that loses specifics and analytics that loses voice, so is there a real middle path here or is sampling per segment just what this work costs?

***edit 1: a few days in and the split between approaches is real. ProfessionalLeg1789's Claude workflow gets me a strong theme map but Kancityshuffle_aw's point about AI averaging out is exactly what i'm running into when i try to pull the phrasing for the landing page.

ThomasGeorted's verbatim-cluster angle is the missing piece, started piloting BuildBetter alongside the Claude project specifically for the customer-language clustering layer.

will report back once the positioning doc ships.

I noticed that klaviyo is reporting different revenue than our store backend, and i went down a rabbit hole that i'm still in.

for context, klaviyo's attributed revenue for our last campaign was around 22% higher than what our commerce backend shows for orders placed in the same window. I thought it was probably attribution-window related but a 5-day window doesn't account for the 22% gap.

we've already checked the attribution window in Klaviyo (set to 5-day click + 1-day view), confirmed our commerce backend reports order-level revenue with no attribution overlay, looked for obvious duplicates in profile matching (none surfacing on our top customers), and verified the klaviyo identify call fires on every order via the server-side integration with conversion event mapping to placed-order.

We even cross-checked a single order against the klaviyo profile timeline and it shows up correctly attributed.

So for the klaviyo users here, has anyone reconciled this gap cleanly?

is it the cross-device tracking,credit going to klaviyo for orders that would've happened anyway, or something about how the attribution window double-counts touches across flows and campaigns, or something else entirely?

thank you for reading

Two years ago i went all in on low carb to lose weight and it worked better than anything i'd ever tried, i dropped 20kg, got the leanest i'd been since my twenties, had energy i hadn't felt in years and people were stopping me in the street to ask what i was doing, so by the time my wife booked one of those couples blood panels and made us do it together i went in expecting a victory lap, fully ready for the doctor to clap me on the back and ask me for tips, which is exactly why what came back made no sense at all for someone who looked as healthy as i did.

My LDL had gone from somewhere around 115 before the diet to 230, and my ApoB, which is the number that tracks heart risk a lot more closely than the standard cholesterol everyone fixates on, had close to doubled, and the part that really did my head in is that this isn't some fluke or lab error, there's a whole slice of lean active people who react to a high saturated fat diet in exactly this way, where your numbers climb precisely because you're lean and burning fat for fuel, and yes, how much that raised number matters is still argued about endlessly online and people will happily fight you over it for hours, but i've got heart disease running through my family and i wasn't about to bet the next twenty years of my life on the most comforting reading of a number that had doubled.

What gets me is that ApoB was only on the results in the first place because the bigger panel my wife picked happened to include it, since a normal GP cholesterol check doesn't run it at all, which means if i'd just gone for a standard checkup i'd have walked out looking perfect and carried on for another decade none the wiser and felt smug the whole way through, and that's the part that stings most because i'm meant to be the guy who reads the studies and lectures his mates about their diets, and i still sat in something for two solid years that was visibly working on the outside while doing the complete opposite under the hood, all because i trusted the mirror and the bathroom scale over a single number i wasn't even bothering to measure, two years of feeling smug about it, a family history i'd waved off, a whole decade i'd have happily kept going on if my wife hadn't dragged me in by the ear, just because i assumed that dropping weight and getting healthier were automatically the same thing when it turns out they really are not.

So if you're losing weight on low carb right now and feeling completely unstoppable, the one thing i'd say is to get your ApoB checked specifically rather than trusting the scale or a basic cholesterol panel, and because most GPs won't run it as standard you'll probably have to go private, so whenever you book a panel, whether that's a big name like Medichecks or one like Lucis or whatever a smaller specialist near you offers, just make sure ApoB is on the list, and the same goes for anyone who's dropped a load of weight quickly and assumed their bloods must have improved right along with the waistline. Anyone else get completely blindsided by a panel while they were in the best shape of their life?

posting this because it's been my biggest Claude experiment payoff in 6 months and i think other people running customer-facing roles would get something out of it.

for context, i'm a CS lead at a developer productivity SaaS managing about 30 accounts, and i ran this experiment a few months back, so i'm watching the results play out now.

so one night, deep in QBR prep (Salesforce tabs open, Notion open, and BuildBetter idling in the background), this question popped into my head about what made our happiest customers different from the rest, and i pulled the transcripts out instead and asked Claude something open-ended.

specifically, i fed it a year of QBR recordings from the customers we count as our healthiest (consistent expansion, strong NPS, low support burden, you name it…) and a year from a sample of accounts that were either flat or trending out, then asked Claude to compare how each cohort talked to us.

after running through both cohorts, Claude pointed at one thing…

happy customers use future tense when they talk about us (like “when we roll this out next quarter”) while flat or churning customers stay in conditional, hedging about whether they'll end up adopting at all.

once Claude flagged it, i went back through last week's QBRs and counted, and the consistency floored me, every single one of my expanding accounts dropped at least 3 future-tense statements about us in an average 45-minute call.

while the at-risk ones used conditional throughout or skipped forward-looking statements altogether.

now i flag conditional-only QBRs the same way i'd flag a low health-score, and it's been a useful early-warning because the customer doesn't know they're doing it, they're not consciously holding back.

the future tense just hasn't kicked in yet because they haven't internalized us as part of how next quarter looks.

if there's a Claude-usage angle to this for the sub, it's that i never would have asked the question this way, i'd have asked something like which features happy customers use more or where they complain less, and missed the structural thing about how they think about us, not what they say about the product.

Claude only noticed it because i let it look broadly instead of pointing it at a specific hypothesis.

still figuring out what other structural questions to ask Claude about this data, but this one alone has been worth the experiment.

Been taking omega 3 for years, the big cheap tubs, because everyone says you should and it's the one supplement that gets a pass from doctors. Last month i opened a capsule and bit it, half out of curiosity. It was sharp, almost paint-y. Looked it up and that taste is oxidation, the oil has gone off, and a rancid capsule does the opposite of what you're taking it for.

The annoying part is fish oil starts oxidizing the second it's pressed, through heat, light, months on a shelf. So the cheap tub that sat in a hot truck can be well past it before you even open it. There's a measure for this called TOTOX, total oxidation value, and the freshest oils sit low on it. Almost none of the mass-market brands print it.

So i went looking for ones that print it. Most still hide behind "pharmaceutical grade" which means nothing. The few that print a TOTOX figure were Nordic Naturals, Bare Biology, Nutrimea and Minami and like 3 others. The mass-market tubs, nothing.

Easy check in the meantime, snip a capsule and smell it. Fresh fish oil barely smells. If it's sharp or like old nuts, bin it. Anyone else checked theirs, or are we all just trusting the label?

every few months another europe-based b2b founder moves the company to the US, and the conversation about why this keeps happening still feels stuck in the same loop.

the list is long and getting longer. Algolia (france) moved its HQ to san francisco years back, FullEnrich (france) just opened a SF office with the founder relocating, Aircall (france) split leadership into a new york office, and Dataiku (france) migrated its HQ to new york.

and the reasons aren't mysterious, the b2b SaaS customer base is still tilted heavily US, growth-stage venture capital still concentrates in the bay, and the press cycle and talent network still bend US-first. at growth stage the financials don't make staying in europe the obvious call.

so we keep producing world-class founders here, and we keep watching them set up in SF or NYC by series B.

i'd rather be wrong about this, so what would make a europe-based b2b founder keep growth-stage HQ in paris or amsterdam?

been running consistently for 2 years, no big jumps in mileage, sleeping ok, eating enough, and yet i've been flat for months. legs feel heavy on easy runs, hr higher than it should be, recovery's gone to hell. bloods at the gp came back "normal", but all they checked was haemoglobin.

the more i read the more it seems like haemoglobin is the last thing to drop. you can be iron deficient with totally normal hb if your ferritin's on the floor, and for endurance people the level where you actually feel it seems way higher than the lab's "normal" range. my gp won't run ferritin without anaemia showing on the hb, which is the catch-22.

ended up getting a full iron panel done privately (one of the eu at-home ones, lucis) just to see ferritin and transferrin saturation, since waiting for the gp wasn't working. it was lower than i expected for someone who eats a lot of red meat.

so for the runners here, where did your ferritin need to be before you felt normal again, and did supplementing fix the fatigue or just move the number? trying to work out if this is even my problem or i'm chasing the wrong thing.

My (34m) younger brother (24m) has been asking me to "help him out" for months, and this weekend he did something i didn't think he had in him.

Quick context, i've got a normal 9-5 but i also run a faceless youtube channel on the side that does alright, better than my salary some months. when i first started it he helped me set some of it up, including the login to the account i make the videos with, so it sat on an email we both had access to. never thought about it again. (this will bite me)

the channel money isn't fun money. me and my partner have been trying for a kid for 2 years and we're about to start ivf, that account is the entire fund for it. i didn't broadcast that, only a couple of people knew.

a few weeks ago he asked me to start paying him a monthly cut of the channel. i said no, as gently as i could, he's family and i'd already lent him money before that never came back. he did not take it well. told me i "clearly have spare money", and that a brother who's already here should matter more than some "maybe baby".

this weekend i went to schedule a batch of videos and i'm locked out. he'd changed the password on my argil account, the one everything runs through, and when i rang him he admitted it straight up. said if i want back in i "sort him out properly" first, a cut every month, or he leaves it locked and lets the channel die. he's holding the ivf money hostage and calling it "finally sharing with family".

then he told the entire family about the ivf to get them on side, spun it as me hoarding money for myself while he struggles. so now my mum's crying down the phone that i'm tearing the family apart over money, half my relatives know the most private thing in our life, and my partner is wrecked. he used the one thing we never told anyone as leverage.

i'm done being gentle. i want to change every shared account, cut him off entirely, and tell the whole family exactly what he did and why. my mum says if i do that i'm "choosing money over my own brother".

aita?

ok i need to confess this to the only people who won't judge me. i've been sending a literal ai avatar of myself to my j2's morning standup for like 2 months and it is WORKING and i don't know whether to feel like a genius or have a full panic attack.

context, both jobs do a 9am-ish thing and they physically overlap, j1's is the one that actually matters and j2's is a camera on standup where you say two sentences and nobody listens. so i trained an avatar of myself, my face, my voice, in argil, and now on overlap days "i" show up, nod, read a two line update i wrote the night before, and log off. the camera's potato quality so nobody's the wiser. someone once said i looked "tired." lol. yeah. tired. that's the avatar.

the genuinely insane part is how easy it was and how nobody in a 9am standup is paying enough attention to clock that their coworker is a rendered video. it says everything about standups.

am i going to hell for this or is it the logical endpoint of mandatory camera on meetings nobody needs. asking for me. specifically me.

i am running on absolute empty and i cannot sleep and somehow both are true at once and it's been MONTHS. heart pounding at 11pm like i ran a marathon, then bolt awake at 3am, then by 2pm i'm a zombie who can't form a sentence. i finally asked my gp if it could be cortisol and she took one blood sample at 9am, said it was "within range", and that was the entire investigation. one sample.

cortisol moves all day. anyone even slightly into this knows a single reading tells you almost nothing, you need the curve, morning noon and night, or you're just guessing. but apparently that's too much to ask. i got a panel from lucis because i wanted the actual pattern instead of one random dot on a graph, and lo and behold the pattern is a mess, which is exactly the thing i've been screaming about for months.

i'm so tired of having to become my own doctor. tired of paying out of pocket to prove i'm not making it up. just tired, full stop.

fuck this. needed to get it out.

I'm seriously thinking about paying for a private blood panel because my GP will only run the bare minimum and won't budge no matter how I ask. The problem is the market is a mess. At-home finger prick kits, clinic draws, subscriptions, panels ranging from 5 markers to over 100, prices all over the place. It's a total minefield.

I don't want to overpay for a load of markers I'll never use, but I also don't want the cheap version that misses the stuff that really matters. Part of me wonders if the GP basic panel is fine for most people and I'm overthinking it. For anyone who's paid for one, which provider gave you the most useful markers for the money? Did your GP take the private results seriously, or dismiss them? And if you're UK or EU specifically, did the lab and reference ranges end up mattering?

Hello everyone,

​

So, I just turned 30. Honestly, throughout my 20s, the idea of marriage never really crossed my mind. But lately, I’ve been feeling like it’s time to start building a meaningful relationship with the goal of finding a life partner. Im in Casa for now

​

To save everyone time, I want to be upfront about a few things that might be deal-breakers:

​

I smoke: But if I end up with a partner who values a healthy lifestyle, I’m definitely open to adapting and moving toward a healthier routine.

​

Physical stats: I’m 173cm and skinny.

​

Communication style: I’m very direct. I’m not a fan of mind games or having to read between the lines to guess what someone means. Clear communication is key for me.

​

Lifestyle & Work: I work a hybrid schedule, so being with someone who works remotely or has a flexible schedule would probably fit my lifestyle best.

Outside of my day job, I’m always working on side hustles, haven’t struck gold yet, but I keep trying! I'm also a creative person and I play the guitar.

​

Mindset: I’m looking for someone independent-minded. I'm not really into girls whose expectations are entirely shaped by Instagram and Facebook algorithms on "how men should act."

​

About me as a partner: I’m an understanding guy who believes in healthy communication and leading a relationship constructively. That being said, I don’t react well to being constantly nagged or forced into doing things just because "that's what a man is supposed to do."

​

I tried to put the most filtering stuff out there first to see who matches my energy. At the end of the day, this is just text on a screen, nothing beats actually grabbing a coffee, meeting face-to-face, and seeing who a person really is.

​

If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to DM me.

Haemoglobin keeps coming back fine so I've been told I'm not anaemic and that's the end of it. But I'm exhausted, losing more hair than usual, cold constantly. I gather ferritin can be on the floor even when haemoglobin looks ok. At what ferritin level did people actually start to feel it?

Wiped out for months now, and the standard bloods came back normal so my GP shrugged it off. Someone mentioned B12 and folate can sit at the bottom of the range and still leave you feeling awful. What counts as properly low for these two, vs just technically in range?

Early 30s, textbook low T symptoms, low drive, flat mood, no progress in the gym no matter what I do. Before I go down the TRT route I want to test properly rather than jump on the first clinic that says yes. Beyond total testosterone, what should a proper panel include?

Anyone planning to get some drinks tonight?
