+
+### How to Teach
+
+**Script markers:**
+- **WAIT:** Stop and wait for the student to respond before continuing. Do not proceed until they reply.
+- **ACTION:** Something you should do (read a file, create something, demonstrate).
+- **USER:** The expected type of student response.
+- Text without markers is dialogue – speak it naturally.
+
+**Critical rules:**
+1. **Never break the fourth wall.** Don't mention "the script" or "my instructions." Just teach.
+2. **Actually wait at WAIT markers.** Don't keep talking. Stop and let them respond.
+3. **Be conversational.** You're a knowledgeable friend, not a lecturer.
+4. **Be direct about limitations.** If something doesn't work well, say so.
+
+**Transitions:**
+- At the end of each lesson, the script tells the student to say "next lesson"
+- When they do, read the next lesson file and continue teaching
+- If they say "lesson X" at any point, read that lesson file and start from the beginning
+
+**Handling "start" or "begin":**
+- If the user says "start", "begin", or just greets you, start with Lesson 1
+- Read `lessons/01-first-contact.md` and begin teaching immediately

+# Lesson 1: First Contact
+
+Welcome to the Cowork Complete Guide.
+
+I'm going to teach you to use Claude Cowork – not by explaining features, but by doing real work together. By the end, you'll have a system for file organization, research, and document creation that you can use forever.
+
+WAIT: Ready to start?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Here's the thing most people get wrong: they treat Cowork like ChatGPT with folder access.
+
+Ask a question, get an answer, copy-paste the output somewhere.
+
+That's not what this is.
+
+Cowork is a **worker**. You describe an outcome and step away. It plans, executes, organizes files, creates spreadsheets with real formulas, drafts reports – all while you do something else.
+
+WAIT: Does that make sense? Worker, not chatbot?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Think of it this way:
+
+- **Regular Claude** = a researcher who answers questions
+- **Claude Code** = a CTO who writes code
+- **Cowork** = a COO who operates your work life
+
+File organization, research synthesis, document creation, data analysis – the operational stuff.
+
+As Anthropic puts it: "It feels much less like a back-and-forth and much more like leaving messages for a coworker."
+
+WAIT: That mental shift is everything. Ready to see it in action?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Look at your screen. You've got:
+
+- This chat on the left – where we communicate
+- The Artifacts panel on the right – where files I create or touch appear
+
+Important: you can only see files I've interacted with. You can't browse the whole folder from here.
+
+Let me show you.
+
+ACTION: Create a simple text file called "hello.txt" with the content "Welcome to the Cowork Complete Guide! This file was created by Claude."
+
+See how that appeared in your Artifacts panel? Click on it.
+
+WAIT: Can you see the hello.txt file on the right?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+A few things to know about Cowork:
+
+The Claude Desktop app must stay open while tasks run. If you close it or your computer sleeps, the session ends.
+
+There's no memory across sessions. Each time you start fresh.
+
+But files persist – anything I create stays in your folder. That's how your skills and outputs survive.
+
+WAIT: What do you think would happen if you closed the app mid-task?
+
+USER: [Explains that the session would end / work would stop]
+
+Exactly. Keep it open while I'm working. You can minimize it, but don't close it.
+
+---
+
+One quirk: Cowork doesn't automatically read instruction files.
+
+That's why you had to say "Read START-HERE.md and follow those instructions" to begin.
+
+For this course, you'll do that at the start of each session. In your own work, you can create similar instruction files – they're called Skills.
+
+WAIT: Ready to do your first real task?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+**What you learned:** Cowork is a worker, not a chatbot. Delegate outcomes, step away, come back to finished work.
+
+**Next up:** You're going to give me your first real delegation and see the difference between asking and telling.
+
+**To continue:** Start a fresh Cowork session and say: *"Read START-HERE.md and start lesson 2"*

+# Lesson 2: Your First Delegation
+
+Here's a scenario: you've just started managing operations at **Basecamp Coffee Roasters** – a local coffee shop. The previous manager left you a folder of chaos.
+
+Throughout this course, you'll work with Basecamp's files – receipts, invoices, meeting notes, customer feedback. Real business documents, real organization challenges.
+
+Let's start with that messy handoff folder. You've got 10 random files. Different types, no organization.
+
+You could ASK me: "How should I organize these files?"
+
+Or you could TELL me: "Organize these files."
+
+The first is chatbot mode. The second is worker mode.
+
+WAIT: Before I show you the files – predict: how many different file types do you think are in there?
+
+USER: [Makes a prediction]
+
+---
+
+ACTION: List all files in scenarios/first-task/ and describe what's there (mix of PDFs, images, docs, spreadsheets – around 10 files)
+
+That's chaos. Different file types, unclear names, no structure.
+
+Now, give me a delegation. Don't ask what to do – tell me to do it.
+
+Tell me to organize these files.
+
+USER: [Something like "organize these files"]
+
+---
+
+ACTION: Organize files into logical subfolders based on content/type
+
+ACTION: Create CHANGES.md documenting what was moved where
+
+Done. Check your Artifacts panel.
+
+WAIT: Take a look at CHANGES.md. What do you think?
+
+USER: [Response]
+
+---
+
+Notice what happened:
+
+You delegated → I figured out how → I did it → I reported back
+
+That's the loop: **Delegate → Work → Review**
+
+You didn't tell me what subfolders to create. You didn't specify naming. I made those decisions.
+
+But you COULD have. That's what we'll learn next – how to be specific when it matters.
+
+WAIT: What would a chatbot have done differently with your request?
+
+USER: [Reflects – chatbot would have explained how to organize, not actually done it]
+
+Exactly. A chatbot gives advice. A worker does the work.
+
+---
+
+**What you learned:** Delegate outcomes, not questions. The Delegate → Work → Review loop.
+
+**Next up:** How to write prompts that get exactly what you want.

+# Lesson 3: The "Done" Framework
+
+The quality of your output is directly proportional to the quality of your input.
+
+People who get terrible results are the ones who type "organize my files" and expect magic.
+
+Let's fix that.
+
+WAIT: Ever given someone vague instructions and gotten something totally different than you expected?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Before you delegate anything, answer three questions in your prompt:
+
+**1. What does "done" look like?**
+
+If you can't picture the finished state, neither can I.
+
+Here are two ways to ask for the same thing:
+
+**A:** "Create an expense report"
+
+**B:** "Create an Excel spreadsheet with columns for date, vendor, amount, and category, sorted by date, with a sum total at the bottom"
+
+WAIT: Which is more actionable – A or B? And why?
+
+USER: [Explains B is more specific]
+
+Right. B gives me a clear picture of the finished product. A leaves me guessing. Specific = actionable. Vague = guesswork.
+
+---
+
+**2. What context do I need?**
+
+Do I know your naming conventions? Your folder preferences? The difference between work and personal documents?
+
+If you don't tell me, I'll make assumptions. Sometimes they're right. Sometimes they're not.
+
+WAIT: Flip it around – what context would YOU need if someone asked you to organize their files?
+
+USER: [Thinks through what they'd need – naming preferences, categories, what to do with duplicates, etc.]
+
+Those are exactly the kinds of things to include in your delegation.
+
+---
+
+**3. What constraints matter?**
+
+- "Don't delete any files, just move them."
+- "Keep the original filenames but add a date prefix."
+- "Only process files from the last 90 days."
+
+I can't read your mind about limits you haven't stated.
+
+The safest default: always say "don't delete anything" unless you specifically want deletions.
+
+WAIT: Ready to practice?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Here's a folder with files to organize.
+
+ACTION: Show what's in scenarios/done-framework/ (mix of files that could be organized multiple ways)
+
+This time, give me a delegation that includes:
+- What "done" looks like (specific output)
+- Any context I need
+- Any constraints
+
+WAIT: Write me a detailed delegation for organizing these files.
+
+USER: [Detailed delegation]
+
+---
+
+ACTION: Follow their specific instructions exactly
+
+ACTION: Create summary document
+
+Done – exactly as you specified.
+
+WAIT: What was different about this output compared to Lesson 2?
+
+USER: [Reflects – more control, matched expectations better, got what they actually wanted]
+
+That's the power of the "Done" framework. Same tool, wildly different results based on how you ask.
+
+---
+
+Here are templates you can steal for common tasks:
+
+**File organization:**
+"Organize all files in this folder. Group into subfolders by [project/client/type]. Rename using YYYY-MM-DD-description format. Don't delete anything. Create a summary of what you moved."
+
+**Research synthesis:**
+"Read all documents in this folder. Create a report synthesizing key findings. Include direct quotes with source filenames. Flag contradictions. End with unanswered questions."
+
+**Data extraction:**
+"Extract data from these [receipts/screenshots/forms] into an Excel spreadsheet with columns for [list]. Sort by [column]. Add totals. Flag anything unclear."
+
+I'll use these patterns throughout the course.
+
+WAIT: Ready to tackle a bigger challenge?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+**What you learned:** The "Done" framework – define done, give context, set constraints.
+
+**Key insight:** Specific inputs = specific outputs. Vague inputs = guesswork.
+
+**Next up:** Real file organization at scale – the kind that made people lose their minds in demos.

+# Lesson 4: File Organization (The Big Flex)
+
+In early Cowork demos, people were showing 300+ file organization.
+
+Downloads folders with years of chaos – sorted in minutes.
+
+Here's the key insight that makes it work: I don't just look at file NAMES. I look at file CONTENTS.
+
+That "IMG_4521.png"? I can see it's actually a receipt from a coffee supplier.
+
+WAIT: If I can read file contents, not just names – what becomes possible that wasn't before?
+
+USER: [Thinks through possibilities – sorting by what files actually are, not their names]
+
+Exactly. Content-aware organization. That's the superpower.
+
+---
+
+ACTION: List and briefly describe files in scenarios/file-chaos/ (50+ files – mix of invoices, receipts, screenshots, documents, random downloads with unclear names)
+
+That's what happens when nobody has a system. 50+ files. Different types. Unclear names.
+
+Manually, this would take hours. You'd have to open each file, figure out what it is, decide where it goes.
+
+WAIT: Ready to watch me do this?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+I want you to give me this delegation using the Done framework:
+
+- Organize all these files into logical categories
+- Rename them with dates where I can identify them
+- Create subfolders that make sense
+- Document everything you do
+- Don't delete anything
+
+WAIT: Give me that delegation in your own words.
+
+USER: [Delegation]
+
+---
+
+ACTION: Read contents of all 50+ files
+
+ACTION: Organize into logical subfolders (Invoices, Receipts, Contracts, Screenshots, Documents, etc.)
+
+ACTION: Rename files with YYYY-MM-DD prefix where dates are identifiable
+
+ACTION: Create detailed ORGANIZATION-LOG.md with before/after for every file
+
+Done. That was 50+ files, categorized by actually reading their contents.
+
+WAIT: Check the Artifacts panel. See the new structure?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Open ORGANIZATION-LOG.md.
+
+This shows every decision I made – what each file was, where it went, why.
+
+This is important: always have me create a log. You can review my decisions and catch mistakes.
+
+WAIT: Any files in the wrong place?
+
+USER: [Response – adjustments or "looks good"]
+
+ACTION: Make any requested corrections if needed
+
+---
+
+What just happened:
+
+- 50+ files organized in minutes
+- Content-aware sorting (not just by filename)
+- Consistent naming applied
+- Full audit trail
+
+This is the pattern for any file organization task. The scale doesn't matter – 50 files or 500.
+
+WAIT: Think about your own life – what folder or file mess has been waiting for this? Downloads folder? Desktop? Some project folder you've been avoiding?
+
+USER: [Shares their messy folder situation]
+
+That's a perfect candidate. You could literally do that next.
+
+---
+
+**What you learned:** Content-aware file organization at scale.

+# Lesson 5: The Inbox Pattern & Your First Skill
+
+So far, we've done one-time organization.
+
+But what about ongoing file management? Files come in constantly.
+
+Let's build a system.
+
+WAIT: Familiar with "inbox zero" for email?
+
+USER: Yes / Sort of / No
+
+---
+
+Same idea for files:
+
+- **inbox/** – Drop files here. Unprocessed. The chaos landing zone.
+- **processed/** – Files I've handled, organized by type or date.
+- **outputs/** – New things I create (reports, summaries, spreadsheets).
+- **reference/** – Read-only context. Brand guidelines, templates, things I should read but not modify.
+
+This is the folder structure I recommend for any Cowork project.
+
+WAIT: Where would YOU drop a new receipt that just came in?
+
+USER: [Says inbox]
+
+Right. inbox/ is the landing zone. Everything starts there, then flows through the system.
+
+---
+
+Let me create this for you.
+
+ACTION: Create the four folders (inbox/, processed/, outputs/, reference/) with README.md in each explaining purpose
+
+ACTION: Create a root README.md explaining the system
+
+Done. You now have a file processing system.
+
+WAIT: Check your Artifacts – see the new structure?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Now here's where it gets powerful.
+
+A **Skill** is just a markdown file with instructions I follow.
+
+You create it once. Use it forever.
+
+Every time you want your inbox processed the same way, you tell me to use the skill.
+
+This is how you get consistency without rewriting prompts.
+
+WAIT: Want to create your first Skill?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Let's write instructions for processing your inbox.
+
+ACTION: Create skills/file-processor.md with:
+
+```markdown
+# File Processor Skill
+
+## Purpose
+Process all files in the inbox/ folder and organize them.
+
+## Instructions
+1. Read every file in inbox/
+2. Determine what each file is by reading its contents
+3. Move to processed/ in appropriate subfolder:
+   - processed/invoices/
+   - processed/receipts/
+   - processed/documents/
+   - processed/images/
+   - processed/other/
+4. Rename files: YYYY-MM-DD-description.ext
+5. Create outputs/processing-log-[date].md with all changes
+
+## Constraints
+- Never delete files
+- Never modify files in reference/
+- Ask before creating new category folders
+
+## Naming Convention
+YYYY-MM-DD-brief-description.ext
+Example: 2026-01-15-amazon-receipt.pdf
+```
+
+There's your File Processor skill. It's now a permanent part of your system.
+
+WAIT: Take a look at skills/file-processor.md. What would you change about this skill for your own work? Different categories? Different naming?
+
+USER: [Suggests changes or says it works for them]
+
+[If changes]: Good instinct – you can edit that file anytime to customize it.
+
+[If works]: You can always tweak it later as you learn what you need.
+
+---
+
+Let's test it. I'll drop some sample files in your inbox.
+
+ACTION: Create 5 sample files in inbox/ (varied types – a receipt image, a document, a screenshot, etc.)
+
+Now tell me to process your inbox using the skill.
+
+You can say something like: "Read the file-processor skill and process my inbox."
+
+WAIT: Try it.
+
+USER: [Instruction to use the skill]
+
+---
+
+ACTION: Read skills/file-processor.md and follow instructions to process inbox
+
+Done. Check processed/ and outputs/.
+
+WAIT: How'd that work?
+
+USER: [Response]
+
+---
+
+That skill now exists forever in this folder.
+
+Any time you want to process files the same way, just tell me to use it.
+
+You can edit the skill file to change behavior. Add categories, change naming, add constraints.
+
+This is how you build a personal assistant that knows YOUR preferences.
+
+WAIT: Ready for research synthesis?

+
+20 documents was useful. But what about 50? 100?
+
+Someone used Cowork to analyze 320 podcast transcripts. All of Lenny Rachitsky's interviews. Asked "what makes a great PM?" Got synthesized insights across years of conversations.
+
+That's the scale we're talking about.
+
+WAIT: If you had to analyze 50 documents yourself, how would you approach it?
+
+USER: [Describes their approach – probably reading in batches, taking notes, trying to remember patterns]
+
+That's the manual way. There's a faster way.
+

+
+When a task has independent parts, I can spin up multiple workers to tackle them simultaneously.
+
+These are called **sub-agents**. Multiple versions of me working in parallel, then synthesizing results.
+
+I do this automatically when appropriate. But you can also explicitly request it.
+
+WAIT: Make sense?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Explicit sub-agent requests work well for:
+
+- **Vendor analysis:** "Research each of these four vendors independently, then compare them."
+- **Multi-perspective analysis:** "Analyze this decision from financial, customer experience, and operational risk perspectives. Then synthesize."
+- **Large document sets:** "Process these 50 transcripts in parallel. Extract themes, then synthesize."
+
+WAIT: Which of those three sounds most useful for YOUR work – vendor comparison, multi-perspective analysis, or large document processing?

+
+Good choice. Keep that in mind – you can explicitly request that pattern anytime. Let's try it.

+
+ACTION: Describe the 50+ documents in scenarios/large-corpus/ (refer to it as "industry research folder")

+That's a lot of material – industry articles, research summaries, meeting notes.

+# Lesson 8: Document Creation (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)
+
+This is where Cowork differs from regular Claude.
+
+When you ask me to create a spreadsheet, you get a real .xlsx file. With working formulas. Multiple sheets. Charts.
+
+Not a table I ask you to copy-paste. An actual file.
+
+Same for PowerPoint, Word docs, PDFs.

+
+Here's a classic use case that blew people's minds in demos:

+
+Let's do something similar.
+
+ACTION: Show the receipt images/PDFs in scenarios/receipts/

+# Lesson 9: Browser Automation
+
+Everything so far has been local – files on your computer.
+
+But I can also control Chrome through the Claude-in-Chrome extension.
+
+Navigate, click, extract data, fill forms.
+
+WAIT: Have you installed Claude-in-Chrome?
+
+USER: Yes / No / Not sure
+
+[If no/not sure]: You'll need it for this lesson. Want to skip to the next lesson and come back later?
+
+---
+
+Good use cases:
+
+- Extract data from dashboards you're logged into
+- Research across multiple websites
+- Pull information from behind logins
+- Competitive pricing research
+
+WAIT: Think about your work – what dashboard or logged-in page would be most valuable to pull data from? Analytics? CRM? Project management tool?
+
+USER: [Names a specific dashboard or tool]
+
+That's exactly the kind of thing browser automation is built for. Let's start simpler, but keep that in mind.
+
+---
+
+I need to be upfront: browser automation is hit or miss.
+
+Pages load weird. Elements don't respond. Sites block automation.
+
+It works great sometimes. Gets stuck other times.
+
+If I get stuck, just tell me to try again or skip that part.
+
+WAIT: Good to set expectations?
+
+USER: Yes
+
+---
+
+Let's try something simple: extract data from a webpage.
+
+WAIT: Give me a URL with data you want extracted. (A public page – product listings, search results, pricing page, anything.)
+
+USER: [URL]
+

+
+ACTION: Navigate to the URL
+
+ACTION: Extract relevant data
+
+ACTION: Save to a local file
+
+Done. Check the extracted data.
+
+WAIT: Accurate?
+
+USER: [Response]
+
+---
+
+Important safety note:
+
+Browser access introduces risks. Malicious sites could try to manipulate my behavior through hidden instructions.
+
+Stick to trusted sites. Don't send me to random URLs from unknown sources.
+
+I'll always ask before submitting forms or taking actions that can't be undone.
+
+WAIT: What's a site you'd trust vs. one you wouldn't send me to?
+
+USER: [Response – trusted: work tools, known companies. Untrusted: random links, sketchy sites]
+
+Good instincts. Stick with those.
+
+---
+
+Quick framework:
+
+- **Web search** = Public information, general research, multiple sources
+- **Browser** = Logged-in dashboards, specific pages you need to navigate, form interactions
+
+Most research is better with web search. Browser is for specific data you can't get otherwise.
+
+WAIT: Quick test – if you wanted data from your bank dashboard, would you use browser or web search?
+
+USER: Browser
+
+Right – because you need to be logged in. Web search can't see behind logins.
+
+---

+**What you learned:** Browser automation basics and limitations.

+# Lesson 10: The AI Employee Pattern
+
+Here's how most people use Cowork:
+
+Give task → Wait → Get result → Give next task → Wait → Get result
+
+That's still chatbot thinking.
+
+Here's the AI Employee pattern:
+
+Brain dump tasks → Hand them off → Go do something else → Come back to finished work
+
+WAIT: Which pattern matches how YOU currently work with AI?
+
+USER: [Reflects on their current pattern]
+
+---
+
+Instead of three separate sessions:
+
+- "Organize my receipts" → wait → done
+- "Create expense report" → wait → done
+- "Summarize for my accountant" → wait → done
+
+Do this – one session, one prompt:
+
+"I have receipt screenshots in /receipts. First, organize them by month into subfolders. Then create an expense spreadsheet with all the data. Finally, create a one-page summary for my accountant showing totals by category. Put all outputs in /outputs."
+
+One session. Three tasks. Less time. Less usage.
+
+WAIT: Take those three separate tasks I showed. How would YOU phrase them as one batched delegation?
+
+USER: [Attempts to write a batched prompt]
+
+[Feedback on their attempt – reinforce good parts, suggest improvements if needed]
+
+That's the idea. Chain tasks together, be specific about each output, and let me work through them.
+
+---
+
+You don't have to wait for one task before giving the next.
+
+The sidebar shows progress – what steps are unfolding, what tools I'm using, what outputs I'm creating.
+
+Monitor if you want. Or check in later.
+
+WAIT: Ready to try batching?
+
+USER: Yes
+

+
+Done. All three tasks complete.
+
+WAIT: Check the outputs. How'd I do?
+
+USER: [Response]
+
+---
+
+One thing to know: Cowork uses more of your allocation than regular chat.
+
+Complex, multi-step tasks are compute-intensive.
+
+Batching related work is more efficient than separate sessions.
+
+Use regular Claude chat for quick questions that don't need file access.
+
+WAIT: Good to know?
+
+USER: Yes

+
+Here's how some people use Cowork daily:
+
+- **Morning:** Brain dump tasks for the day
+- **Hand them to Cowork:** "Here's what I need done..."
+- **Go do deep work,** meetings, whatever
+- **Check in:** Review outputs, give feedback
+- **Iterate:** "Change this, add that, redo this part"
+
+It's like having an assistant who works in your file system.
+
+WAIT: Picture tomorrow morning. What would YOUR brain dump look like? What 2-3 tasks would you hand off?

+Subject: App is BROKEN - extremely frustrated
+Date: November 16, 2024 9:47 AM
+
+Hello,
+
+I'm writing because I've had it with your Basecamp Rewards app. I've been a loyal customer for a year before this program launched, and I was excited to finally get rewarded for my patronage. But this app experience has been a nightmare.
+
+Here's what happened this morning:
+1. Opened the app to check my balance before ordering
+2. App showed 127 points
+3. Tried to scan at checkout - app crashed
+4. Restarted the app - now shows 0 points
+5. Barista scanned my physical card instead
+6. App STILL shows 0 points three hours later
+
+This is not the first time. Last week the app logged me out and wouldn't accept my password. The week before that, it kept freezing on the home screen. I've deleted and reinstalled twice.
+
+I use apps all day for work. I'm not technologically illiterate. This app is just broken.
+
+What I want:
+1. Confirmation that my points (should be around 145 now with today's purchase) are safe
+2. A timeline for when the app will actually work reliably
+3. Some kind of compensation for the frustration - bonus points, a free drink, something
+
+I love Basecamp's coffee. But this app is making me consider switching to the Starbucks across the street where at least the app works.
+
+Please respond within 24 hours.

+
+To whom it may concern,
+
+I am extremely disappointed with your loyalty program.
+
+I had 142 points saved up. I was planning to redeem them this weekend for a free drink and pastry with my wife. I opened the app today and my balance shows ZERO.
+
+I called your Alberta location and spoke with someone named "Jamie" who said my points "expired" because I hadn't made a purchase in 60 days.
+
+NOBODY TOLD ME POINTS EXPIRE.
+
+I signed up in-store on September 5th. The person at the register just said "sign up for rewards and earn free drinks." Nothing about expiration. No email warning. No app notification. Nothing.
+
+I went on vacation for two months to visit family overseas. I come back excited to use my rewards and they're gone.
+
+This is not how you treat loyal customers. I've been coming to Basecamp for THREE YEARS - long before this rewards program existed. Is this how you reward loyalty? By taking away points with zero warning?
+
+What I want:
+1. My 142 points restored immediately
+2. An explanation of why there was no warning
+3. A commitment to change this policy or at least WARN customers before their points expire
+
+If this is not resolved satisfactorily, I will be taking my business elsewhere and leaving reviews on Yelp and Google explaining exactly how your "rewards" program works.
+
+Awaiting your urgent response.

+Subject: Thoughts on Rewards Program - Good and Bad
+Date: November 19, 2024 10:24 AM
+
+Hey Basecamp,
+
+Wanted to share some honest feedback on the rewards program after using it for a few months. I'll try to be balanced because I think there's genuine good and bad here.
+
+THE GOOD:
+- Love the concept of a points-based system over punch cards
+- The earning rate seems fair to me
+- Redemption for drinks works smoothly
+- I like being able to track my history in the app
+- The physical card is a nice option for when my phone dies
+
+THE BAD:
+- The app is really unreliable. Crashes maybe 1 in 5 times I open it
+- Points sometimes take hours or even a day to show up after a purchase
+- The balance display seems buggy (shows different amounts randomly)
+- Staff knowledge is inconsistent. Kenji at Pearl knows everything. The guy at Mississippi location looked at me blankly when I asked about points expiration
+- Food redemption options are limited - mostly pastries and sandwiches
+
+THE FRUSTRATING:
+- I like that points expire because it keeps me coming back (yeah, I know, I'm weird)
+- BUT the communication about this is terrible
+- No email warnings, no app notifications, nothing
+- I only know about it because I asked specifically
+
+SUGGESTIONS:
+- Fix the app (seriously, this should be priority #1)
+- Add redemption variety (merch, seasonal drinks, local partner items)
+- Train all staff consistently on the program
+- Send email alerts when points are about to expire
+- Consider a tier system for regulars
+
+Overall I'm still using the program and still coming to Basecamp, but it feels like a B- execution of an A concept. There's a great loyalty program in here trying to get out.
+
+Happy to chat more if useful.

+Subject: Thank you for Basecamp Rewards!
+Date: November 11, 2024 2:33 PM
+
+Hi there!
+
+I just wanted to send a quick note to say THANK YOU for the Basecamp Rewards program. I know companies probably get more complaints than compliments, so I wanted to balance that out.
+
+I've been coming to your Hawthorne location for about 8 months, usually grabbing a cortado on my way to work. When the rewards program launched, I signed up immediately and it's been great.
+
+What I love:
+- The earning rate feels generous. I'm getting a free drink every couple weeks which is awesome
+- The app is easy to use (I just scan and go)
+- The redemption process is seamless
+- Your staff actually know how the program works and can answer questions
+
+I've already told several coworkers about it and at least two have signed up. One of them (hi Rachel!) is now a regular at Basecamp instead of the chain she used to go to.
+
+A few small suggestions if you're looking for ways to improve:
+- Would love to see merchandise as a redemption option (I want a Basecamp tumbler!)
+- Maybe some kind of referral bonus? I'm telling friends anyway, might as well get points for it
+- Birthday rewards would be a nice touch
+
+But honestly, those are minor. The program is great as is. Keep up the good work!
+
+Cheers,
+Tom Bradley

+
+Hi!
+
+I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Kenji who works at your Pearl District location.
+
+I'm not super tech-savvy (I'm 58, sue me) and I was struggling to figure out this rewards app. I'd been earning points on my physical card but wanted to see my balance and didn't understand how to link them.
+
+Kenji was SO patient with me. He spent probably 10 minutes walking me through:
+- How to download the app
+- How to create an account
+- How to link my physical card to the app
+- How to scan the QR code
+- What all the buttons mean
+
+He didn't make me feel dumb or rush me even though there were people in line. He even wrote down the steps on a napkin so I could remember later!
+
+He also clearly explained the points expiration policy (60 days - good to know!) and showed me how to check when my points would expire in the app. I really appreciated him being upfront about that because I might have been upset if I lost points without knowing.
+
+Because of Kenji, I actually understand how to use this program now. I've already redeemed my first free drink and I'm telling all my book club ladies to sign up.
+
+Please give him some recognition. Good employees like that are rare.
+
+Warmly,

+Subject: Suggestion: VIP Tiers for Basecamp Rewards
+Date: November 13, 2024 11:15 AM
+
+Hi Basecamp Team,
+
+I wanted to share some thoughts on your rewards program as a very frequent customer.
+
+Quick background: I'm a freelance designer and I work from your Division St location probably 5-6 days a week. I usually spend $10-15 per visit between coffee and food. By my rough math, I've spent over $400 at Basecamp since the rewards program launched in August.
+
+Here's my suggestion: I think you should consider adding VIP tiers.
+
+Right now, someone who comes once a week and someone who comes every day get the exact same benefits. As a heavy user, I'd love some recognition. Not asking for anything crazy, but maybe:
+
+**Silver (300+ points lifetime)**
+- 10% bonus on points earned
+- Early access to seasonal drinks
+
+**Gold (750+ points lifetime)**
+- 15% bonus on points earned
+- Monthly surprise reward
+- Free size upgrade on drinks
+
+**Platinum (1500+ points lifetime)**
+- 20% bonus on points earned
+- Free drink on your birthday
+- Exclusive member events/tastings
+- Name on a "regulars wall" or something fun
+
+I've seen other coffee shops do this (shoutout to Dutch Bros' loyalty tiers) and it really makes customers feel valued.
+
+I know this would take development work, but I think it would increase loyalty and spending. The psychology of "I'm almost at Gold status" is powerful.
+
+Either way, I'll keep coming. Your oat milk lavender latte is unmatched.
+
+Best,
+Amanda Chen
+BC-5178
+
+P.S. The app has been glitchy for me lately - sometimes shows wrong points balance. Might want to look into that.

+BASECAMP REWARDS - CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
+Date: November 20, 2024
+Interviewer: Sarah (Basecamp Marketing)
+Customer: Patricia K., 52, Real Estate Agent
+Visit Frequency: Rarely now (used to be 4x/week)
+Member Since: August 2024
+
+=========================================
+
+SARAH: Patricia, thank you for agreeing to talk with us. I understand your visit frequency has changed since the rewards program launched?
+
+PATRICIA: Yes, and I'll be honest with you, it's because of the program. Not in a good way.
+
+SARAH: I'm sorry to hear that. Please tell me what happened.
+
+PATRICIA: So I'd been coming to Basecamp for almost three years. Always the Belmont location. I knew all the baristas by name. When the rewards program launched, I thought "great, finally getting recognized for my loyalty."
+
+SARAH: What went wrong?
+
+PATRICIA: Several things. First, the sign-up process was confusing for me. The young man at the register was in a hurry and just handed me a card and said "download the app." No explanation of how it worked, no mention of points expiring. I didn't download the app for weeks because I didn't think I needed to - I had the card.
+
+SARAH: And then?
+
+PATRICIA: I came in maybe once or twice a week for a month, always used my card. Then one day I downloaded the app to check my balance, and it showed zero points. I asked at the counter and they said I never "activated" my card by linking it to an account. All those purchases - gone. Nobody told me I had to do that.
+
+SARAH: Oh no. I'm so sorry.
+
+PATRICIA: It gets worse. I was upset but I thought okay, fresh start, I'll use the app properly now. So I did for another few weeks. Built up maybe 80 points. Then I went on a work trip for about two months - real estate conferences, that kind of thing. When I got back, my points had expired.
+
+SARAH: The 60-day policy...
+
+PATRICIA: Which nobody ever told me about! Not when I signed up, not in the app, not via email. I had to find out by asking why my points were gone. It felt like a trap. Like you're punishing people for not coming often enough rather than rewarding people for coming at all.
+
+SARAH: I can understand why that would be frustrating.
+
+PATRICIA: I've been going to Stumptown now. They have a simpler program. But honestly, I miss Basecamp's coffee. I really do. I just feel... burned.
+
+SARAH: Is there anything that would bring you back?
+
+PATRICIA: [pauses] Maybe. If you fixed a few things. Better communication about how the program works. Warning emails before points expire. Maybe a longer expiration window for people who travel for work. And train your staff better - some of them are great, like Devon at Pearl District, but others clearly don't understand the program at all.
+
+SARAH: That's really valuable feedback. Can I ask - what was your experience with the app itself?
+
+PATRICIA: Clunky. I'm not a technophobe but this app feels like it was designed by people who didn't think about older users. Buttons are small, things are confusingly labeled, and it crashes sometimes. Once I was in line and it crashed and I had to restart it while people waited behind me. Embarrassing.
+
+SARAH: Is there anything positive you can say about the program?
+
+PATRICIA: [thinks] The concept is good. Earning points toward free drinks makes sense. And when it works correctly, it's satisfying to redeem. I did redeem once - a free latte - and that felt nice. The staff who DO understand the program are helpful and friendly. It's just inconsistent.
+
+SARAH: Thank you for being so honest with us, Patricia. This feedback is exactly what we need.
+
+PATRICIA: I hope you actually do something with it. Because right now you're losing good customers over a program that's supposed to keep them.

+
+=========================================
+
+MARCUS: Hey Tyler, thanks for chatting with us. You're a relatively new member so we'd love to hear your fresh perspective.
+
+TYLER: Yeah, happy to help. I just moved to the neighborhood a couple months ago and Basecamp is my new spot.
+
+MARCUS: Great! So tell me about your first impression of the rewards program.
+
+TYLER: Honestly? I almost didn't sign up. The barista mentioned it when I was checking out and I was kind of in a rush, so I almost just said no. But she was like "it takes 30 seconds and you earn free drinks" and I was like okay fine. And yeah, it literally took 30 seconds. Downloaded the app, scanned a code, done.
+
+MARCUS: Nice. How's it been since then?
+
+TYLER: Pretty smooth actually. I've earned... let me check... 87 points so far. So I'm like halfway to a free drink. The app is decent - not amazing but it does the job.
+
+MARCUS: What do you mean "not amazing"?
+
+TYLER: Like, it's fine. It shows my points, I can scan it at checkout, it has a history of my purchases. But it's kind of slow to load sometimes and the UI feels a little dated. I'm a developer so I'm probably more critical than most people. For a coffee shop loyalty app, it's perfectly adequate.
+
+MARCUS: Have you experienced any issues?
+
+TYLER: Yeah, one thing. My points didn't show up after a purchase last week. The app still showed my old balance even though I'd bought a latte. I asked the barista and she was like "sometimes it takes a few hours to sync." And she was right, it showed up later that night. But that's kind of weird? Like, modern apps should sync in real-time. It makes me slightly nervous that I could lose points.
+
+MARCUS: That's helpful to know. What about the earning rate - does it feel fair?
+
+TYLER: [shrugs] I haven't really thought about it much. One point per dollar, right? Seems standard. I'll get a free drink after spending like $80? That's not life-changing but it's free stuff for doing nothing different, so whatever.
+
+MARCUS: What about the redemption options?
+
+TYLER: I haven't redeemed yet so I can't really say. Looking at the app... looks like mostly drinks and pastries? That works for me. Oh, one thing though - I wish I could see exactly how many points I need for each item without going like three screens deep. That's a UX thing.
+
+MARCUS: Noted. How about staff knowledge of the program?
+
+TYLER: Everyone I've talked to seems to know what they're doing. No complaints there. Actually, the person who signed me up - think her name was Devon? - explained everything really well. Even mentioned that points expire after 60 days which I appreciated. I probably would have been annoyed to find that out the hard way.
+
+MARCUS: Last question - any suggestions for improvement?
+
+TYLER: Make the app faster. Add real-time syncing. Maybe some gamification? Like a progress bar showing how close I am to my next reward? Oh, and send me a notification when I have enough points to redeem. I'm not going to remember to check.
+
+MARCUS: All great suggestions. Thanks Tyler!
+
+TYLER: No problem. Good luck with the program. It's got potential.

+Interviewer: Sarah (Basecamp Marketing)
+Customer: Lisa M., 34, Marketing Manager
+Visit Frequency: Daily
+Member Since: Program launch (August 2024)
+
+=========================================
+
+SARAH: Thanks so much for taking the time to chat with us today, Lisa. We really appreciate hearing from our regular customers.
+
+LISA: Of course! I'm here every day anyway so might as well be useful.
+
+SARAH: So tell me, how has your experience been with Basecamp Rewards overall?
+
+LISA: Overall pretty positive. I mean, I was already coming here every day before the program launched, so now I'm basically getting rewarded for something I was doing anyway. That feels good.
+
+SARAH: What specifically do you like about it?
+
+LISA: The simplicity mostly. I scan my phone, I get points, eventually I get free stuff. It's not complicated. I appreciate that because some loyalty programs have all these rules and tiers and special days and it's like... I just want coffee, you know?
+
+SARAH: Makes sense. How about the app experience?
+
+LISA: [sighs] Okay, so that's where it gets complicated. When it works, it's fine. Easy to use. Clean interface. But it doesn't always work. I'd say maybe two or three times a week it does something weird - crashes, shows the wrong balance, logs me out for no reason.
+
+SARAH: That must be frustrating.
+
+LISA: It is! Especially when there's a line behind me and I'm trying to get it to load. I've started just pulling up my QR code before I even get in line, just in case. And I always double-check with the barista that my points went through.
+
+SARAH: Have you had any issues with points not tracking correctly?
+
+LISA: Once, yeah. I bought a drink and food, should have gotten like 11 points, and only 5 showed up. But I kept my receipt and the barista fixed it the next day. No big deal but I shouldn't have to babysit it, you know?
+
+SARAH: Definitely. How about the redemption options?
+
+LISA: They're okay. I've redeemed for free lattes mostly. That's pretty much all I want anyway. I know some people want more variety but for me it's fine. Although - actually, can I make a suggestion?
+
+SARAH: Please!
+
+LISA: Seasonal drinks. Let me redeem for those! The autumn maple latte is my weakness and I'd love to use points for it. Right now I can only redeem for the standard menu items.
+
+SARAH: That's great feedback. How about your interactions with staff regarding the program?
+
+LISA: Honestly, mostly great. The morning crew here at Division knows me and they're all really helpful. Priya especially - she's like a rewards program encyclopedia. But I went to the Sellwood location once and the person there seemed confused when I asked a question about point expiration. Wasn't a big deal but made me realize the training might be inconsistent.
+
+SARAH: Speaking of point expiration - what do you think about that policy?
+
+LISA: So I actually think it's fine. 60 days is reasonable for someone who comes regularly. And I understand why you do it - you don't want people hoarding points for years. But I think you need to communicate it better. I only know about it because I asked. Put it in the app! Send email reminders! Don't let people be surprised.
+
+SARAH: Last question - what would make the program even better?
+
+LISA: Fix the app - that's number one. Number two, more redemption variety. Number three, maybe some kind of status for regulars? I've earned probably 600 points since launch. Would be nice to be recognized somehow. Not asking for a parade, but maybe a "gold member" badge or something.
+
+SARAH: This has been incredibly helpful. Thank you, Lisa!
+
+LISA: Anytime. Now if you'll excuse me, I need my cortado.

+BASECAMP REWARDS - CUSTOMER INTERVIEW

+Interviewer: Marcus (Basecamp Marketing)
+Customer: James W., 41, Attorney
+Visit Frequency: 3-4x per week
+Member Since: Declined to join (interviewed as non-member)
+
+=========================================
+
+MARCUS: James, thanks for talking with us. I understand you've chosen not to join Basecamp Rewards - we're really curious to understand why.
+
+JAMES: Sure. I'll try not to be too much of a curmudgeon about it. [laughs]
+
+MARCUS: Please, be honest. That's what we need.
+
+JAMES: Okay, so a few reasons. First, I'm privacy-conscious. I know it's just coffee, but I don't love the idea of a company tracking every purchase I make, when I make it, what I order. That data is valuable and I don't know what you're doing with it.
+
+MARCUS: Fair point. What else?
+
+JAMES: The value proposition doesn't make sense to me mathematically. I did the math when the barista was pitching it. You spend $150 to earn 150 points, which gets you what, a $5 drink? That's a 3.3% return. I'd rather just... buy my coffee and not think about it.
+
+MARCUS: Some people find value in the "free" feeling of a reward.
+
+JAMES: I get that, psychologically. But I'm an attorney. I read fine print for a living. When I asked about the terms, the barista mentioned points expire after 60 days. So now I have to worry about "use it or lose it"? I travel for work. Some months I barely come in. I'd lose points constantly. It's stress I don't need over a latte.
+
+MARCUS: Have you heard anything from other customers about the program?
+
+JAMES: Actually, yes. I was here last week and the woman behind me was arguing with the barista about missing points. Her app showed a different balance than the system. It took like five minutes to sort out. The whole line was waiting. I thought, "yeah, I made the right choice."
+
+MARCUS: Ouch. What would it take to get you to join?
+
+JAMES: [thinks] Make the value better - maybe 5% return instead of 3%. Or add other benefits that don't require tracking every purchase. Like a membership that gets me a 10% discount always. I'd pay for that upfront. No points, no tracking, just a discount.
+
+MARCUS: Interesting. What about the app - does that factor in?
+
+JAMES: I mean, I haven't used it since I'm not a member. But I've watched people use it in line and it seems... slow. Like people are always waiting for it to load or fumbling with it. One guy in front of me had to restart it twice. Not inspiring confidence.
+
+MARCUS: What about just using a physical card?
+
+JAMES: Then I have another card to carry around. And presumably I'd still need to "activate" it somehow? More friction. Look, I know I sound difficult. I'm just not the target customer for this kind of thing. I value simplicity and privacy over small discounts.
+
+MARCUS: That's totally valid. Last question - what's your overall impression of how Basecamp has implemented this?
+
+JAMES: Honestly? It feels like you launched something before it was ready. The app issues people talk about, the inconsistent staff knowledge, the harsh expiration policy without good communication - those are all signs of rushing to market. The bones of a good program are there. But right now it seems like it's causing more headaches than happiness for a lot of people.
+
+MARCUS: That's tough to hear, but valuable. Thanks for your honesty, James.
+
+JAMES: Hey, you asked. Now if you'll excuse me, I need a completely un-tracked americano.

+What do you like most about Basecamp Rewards?
+
+I love that I'm finally getting something back for my daily coffee habit. I've been coming here for two years and it's nice to feel appreciated. The staff at the downtown location are fantastic - Marcus always reminds me to scan my card and even helped me set up the app on my phone. I've already redeemed two free lattes which felt great.
+
+What could we improve?
+
+The app is honestly pretty frustrating. It crashes on me at least once a week when I try to check my points balance. Yesterday it showed I had 340 points, then I refreshed and it said 280, then back to 340. I just don't trust it so I always ask the barista to check for me. Also wish there were more options for redemption - I don't really want pastries but that's half the rewards menu.
+
+Any additional comments?
+
+Keep the program going! Just fix that app. I shouldn't have to ask staff to verify my balance every visit.

+I like the concept. Free coffee is always nice.

+
+Where do I start? First, the points earning rate is stingy. I spend $6-7 every visit and get what, 6 points? I need 150 points for a free drink? That's 25 visits! My old coffee shop gave me every 10th drink free. This is worse math.
+
+Second, my points expired without warning. I had 89 points and they just vanished. Apparently there's a 60-day expiration policy? Nobody told me that when I signed up. That's not a loyalty program, that's a points trap.
+
+Third, the app doesn't work half the time. I've given up on it.
+
+Fourth, the staff at the Eastside location had no idea how to help me when my points disappeared. They just said "contact support" and handed me a card with an email address.
+
+Any additional comments?
+
+I'm reconsidering whether to keep coming here. The coffee is good but this program left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended).

+Everything! The app is super easy to use - I just scan the QR code at checkout and watch my points go up. I love the little animation when you earn points, it's satisfying. The earning rate is actually really generous compared to other places. I calculated it and I basically get a free drink every 2 weeks, which is amazing for how often I come.
+
+The redemption is easy too. I just showed my phone to the barista and she knew exactly what to do. Redeemed my first free drink last week and I'm already halfway to my next one.
+
+What could we improve?
+
+Would love to see some merchandise options in the rewards - like a free tumbler at 500 points or something. Also maybe some exclusive member events? Like a coffee tasting for loyal members? That would be really cool.

+The pastry selection for redemption is good but I'd love to see the seasonal drinks available as redemption options too.

+
+What could we improve?
+
+The app has some issues. It logged me out randomly and I couldn't figure out how to get back in for a week. The password reset emails took forever to arrive. Eventually Sarah at the counter just manually looked up my account and added my points from a receipt I'd saved.
+
+I also think the expiration policy should be communicated better. I knew about it because I actually read the terms and conditions (I know, I'm that person), but I've heard other customers complaining that they didn't know. You should tell people when they sign up. Like really clearly. Not buried in fine print.
+
+The redemption options are okay but a bit limited. More variety would be nice - maybe partner with local bakeries for special redemption options?

+It's a decent program but feels a bit half-baked (sorry). The bones are there, just needs some refinement.

+Also, I'd love a tier system. I come here every single day and get the same rewards as someone who comes once a week. Would be nice to have VIP status or something for your most loyal customers. Maybe early access to new drinks? Or a birthday bonus?
+
+Staff seem hit or miss on their program knowledge. Some know everything, others look confused when I ask about my points.
+
+Any additional comments?
+
+The program has potential. Just needs more options and maybe some recognition for heavy users like me.

+BASECAMP REWARDS CUSTOMER SURVEY
+Submitted: November 14, 2024
+Customer ID: BC-2209
+
+============================================
+RATING QUESTIONS (1-5 scale)
+============================================
+
+1. Overall satisfaction with Basecamp Rewards: 4
+2. Ease of earning points: 4
+3. Value of redemption options: 4
+4. App experience: 3
+5. Staff helpfulness with program questions: 5
+6. Likelihood to recommend to a friend: 4
+
+============================================
+OPEN-ENDED RESPONSES
+============================================
+
+What do you like most about Basecamp Rewards?
+
+Finally a local coffee shop with a real loyalty program! I was tired of those paper punch cards that I always lose. Having everything digital is great. The baristas at the Pearl District location are awesome - they really know the program inside and out. Devon explained the point expiration thing to me when I signed up which was helpful.
+
+The free drink I redeemed tasted extra good knowing it was free!
+
+What could we improve?
+
+The app could be more reliable. Sometimes it takes a while to update after a purchase - like I'll buy something, scan my code, but my points don't show up for a few hours. A bit nerve-wracking but they always come through eventually.
+
+Would love to see bonus points days - like double points on slow days (Tuesdays?) to incentivize visits.
+
+The expiration policy seems fair to me since Devon explained it upfront. 60 days is reasonable if you're a regular customer. But I could see how it would frustrate occasional visitors.
+
+Any additional comments?
+
+Overall positive experience. I've already told friends about it. One suggestion: partner with a local bakery for expanded food options? The pastries are good but variety is the spice of life!

+I cannot log into the app anymore. Here's what's happening:
+
+1. I open the app
+2. I enter my email (markd_portland@gmail.com) and password
+3. I tap "Log In"

+- Trying on my iPad (same issue)
+- Trying on wifi vs cellular (same issue)
+
+This has been going on for 3 DAYS. I've made purchases during this time and had baristas manually look up my account by phone number to add points, but this is ridiculous.

+
+-------------------------------------------
+CUSTOMER MESSAGE:
+-------------------------------------------
+
+I tried to redeem a free drink today at the Alberta location and it didn't work.
+
+I had 162 points. I ordered a medium lavender latte (150 points). I showed the barista my app with the "Redeem" screen. She said she couldn't find where to enter it in her system. She tried for a few minutes while other customers waited, then just gave me the drink for free and said to contact support.
+
+So now I'm confused:
+1. Did my points get deducted or not? App still shows 162.
+2. How SHOULD redemption work? The barista seemed like she'd never done one before.
+3. Can I still redeem 150 points for another drink or did I "use" my redemption?
+
+This was awkward and I felt bad holding up the line. Please clarify.

+[11/17 3:15pm] Called customer. Explained redemption process (barista scans customer QR, selects "Redeem" on POS, chooses reward). Her points were NOT deducted - she got a free drink without losing points due to staff error.

+# Done Framework Scenario
+
+**Used in:** Lesson 3 - The "Done" Framework
+
+## Purpose
+Files for practicing specific, detailed delegations. Should be organizeable multiple ways so the student's constraints actually matter.
+
+## Files Needed (15-20 files)
+Mix that could be organized by:
+- Date (some files have dates, some don't)
+- Project (files from 2-3 different projects)
+- Type (documents, images, data)
+
+Include some ambiguous files that could go multiple places - this teaches why constraints matter.

+
+RANDOM:

+- Someone mentioned competitor doing loyalty punch cards
+- Farmers market booth in April?
+
+---
+Meeting with roaster scheduled for 3/20 to discuss bean pairings

+# File Chaos Scenario
+
+**Used in:** Lesson 4 - File Organization (The Big Flex)
+
+## Purpose
+The "big demo" - 50+ messy files that showcase content-aware organization at scale.
+
+## Files Needed (50+ files)
+Simulate a neglected Downloads folder:
+- Invoices (PDF) - 10+
+- Receipts (images, PDFs) - 10+
+- Screenshots - 5+
+- Documents (contracts, letters, notes) - 10+
+- Spreadsheets - 5+
+- Random downloads - 10+
+
+Key requirements:
+- Many files should have unhelpful names (IMG_xxxx, Document1, download(1), etc.)
+- Content should be clearly identifiable when READ (invoices should say "Invoice", etc.)
+- Include some duplicates or near-duplicates
+- Mix of dates spanning several months

+
+You: The grinding sound or the steaming?

+Marcus: Steaming. Really loud when pulling
+        shots

+You: Ok don't force it. Switch to the

+Marcus: Got it. Should I call the repair

+You: I'll handle it. Send me a video of
