A clean intake system beats a larger intake system.
This guide keeps your market reading stack focused and maintainable.
Hygiene rules
- Remove any source with repeated low action value.
- Keep only one source per overlapping narrative lane.
- Tag uncertain sources as probation for two weeks.
Weekly routine
- Review noise and misses.
- Demote low-value senders.
- Promote missed high-value senders.
- Re-check label and routing consistency.
Common mistakes and fixes
- Mistake: adding sources without removing any.
- Fix: require one-out, one-in when at capacity.
- Mistake: no explicit quality metric.
- Fix: track action conversion rate weekly.
- Mistake: indefinite probation sources.
- Fix: auto-remove after two low-value weeks.
