Beta Feedback Rollups

Beta program feedback aggregated into weekly rollups with priorities and themes - every in-product comment, Slack message, Loom recording, and crash report clustered into UI · Perf · Bug · Request, with severity scored and the latest week highlighted live.

What the managed workflow does

Pulls every signal

In-product beta widget per screen, beta Slack channel chatter, Loom recordings (transcribed), and crash/perf telemetry - every signal scoped to the beta cohort gets pulled into one weekly roll.

Clusters into 4 themes

UI · UX, Performance, Bug, Request - each item auto-classified with rationale; mis-classifications correctable by PM and learned across cycles.

Names the top of week

Per week, the top theme + severity score with verbatim teasers - so the standup conversation starts with 'this week, performance hit critical' not 'let me scroll through 64 comments'.

Tracks 8-week trend

Theme mix shift over time visible - when 'Performance' moves from 18% to 34% over 8 weeks, the slope is the story before the absolute number is.

Inputs synthesized

  • In-product beta widget. Per-screen feedback widget gated to the beta cohort - every comment lands with screen-context and user-id.

  • Beta Slack channel. The dedicated channel where 83 testers post - every message scraped, classified, and threaded to the relevant rollup.

  • Loom recordings. Submitted Looms transcribed with screen-tagging - surfaced in the rollup with timestamp and finding excerpt.

  • Crash + perf telemetry. Sentry + datadog signal scoped to the beta cohort - perf p95s and crash rates feed the Performance and Bug themes directly.

What lands weekly

  • Top-of-week rollup card. Per week, the top theme · severity · 2 verbatim teasers - the standup-ready summary.

  • Theme trend. 8-week stacked bar showing how the mix shifts - slope changes are the early-warning signal.

  • Per-tester thread. Each tester's contribution stays linked to their rollup - so when one tester's perf is worse than the cohort, that's visible.

  • Roadmap candidate list. The Request theme converts into roadmap candidates feeding next-cycle prioritization - closing the loop with the beta cohort itself.

What you get, every week

A beta program with a continuous signal

No more 'how is the beta going?' as a guess - the rollup runs every Monday, and the conversation is about what to fix this week.

Slope before number

Theme mix shift surfaces movement before raw counts spike - Performance moving 18 → 34% is the leading indicator, not WK 16's headline number.

A beta cohort that feels heard

Every tester's contribution lands in a rollup with their thread linked - when their request makes the roadmap candidate list, the loop closes.
