Product Performance Analysis

Comprehensive analysis framework for evaluating product and engineering team performance across meetings, communications, goals, and key metrics.

What This Skill Does

1. Meeting Analysis - Analyze Fireflies transcripts for patterns, effectiveness, recurring themes
2. Communication Patterns - Track Slack activity, sentiment, engagement across team members
3. Goal Tracking - Compare stated OKRs against actual achievement
4. KPI Monitoring - Evaluate performance against key metrics
5. Cross-Analysis - Identify disconnects between what's discussed and what's delivered
6. Executive Reporting - Generate formatted Google Docs with insights and recommendations

When to Use

• "Analyze product scrub meetings over the last 6 months"
• "How is the engineering team performing against OKRs?"
• "What are recurring themes in our product discussions?"
• "Compare meeting topics with actual KPI performance"
• "Generate a performance report for the product team"

Curacel-Specific Context

When analyzing Curacel product/engineering performance, read curacel-context.md first.

This file contains:

• Product names (Auto, Health, Pay, Grow)
• Key customers/partners (AXA, Germania, etc.)
• Meeting patterns (Product Scrub, Engineering Standup, etc.)
• Slack channels to monitor
• Google Sheet IDs for OKRs and KPIs
• Team member names and roles
• Common themes and blockers
• Output preferences

With this context loaded, you'll know exactly which meetings to search for, which sheets to pull from, and which patterns to look for without asking.

Data Sources Required

1. Fireflies API - Meeting transcripts

   • Key: ~/clawd/secrets/fireflies-team.key (or specify account)
   • GraphQL endpoint: https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql

2. Google Workspace - OKRs and KPIs from Sheets

   • Service account (DWD): ~/clawd/secrets/google-superada.json
   • User: henry@curacel.ai

3. Slack (optional) - Communication patterns

   • Tokens: ~/clawd/secrets/slack-super-ada.json

Analysis Components

1. Meeting Effectiveness

Query Fireflies for meeting transcripts matching criteria (title pattern, date range, participants).

Key metrics:

• Meeting frequency and duration
• Participant attendance patterns
• Action item distribution
• Recurring discussion themes
• Keywords and sentiment

Sample query:

{
  transcripts(limit: 100) {
    id
    title
    date
    duration
    participants
    summary {
      action_items
      overview
      shorthand_bullet
      keywords
    }
  }
}

2. Communication Patterns (Slack)

Analyze message frequency, tone, engagement across channels and team members.

Key metrics:

• Messages per person per month
• Proactive vs reactive communication
• Frustration vs positive sentiment
• Channel participation

3. OKR Analysis

Pull goal data from Google Sheets, calculate achievement percentages, identify gaps.

Key metrics:

• Overall achievement rate
• Progress by product/team
• Features delivered vs revenue achieved
• Goal-setting vs execution gaps

4. KPI Tracking

Extract performance metrics from tracking sheets, compare against targets.

Key metrics:

• Performance vs target (%)
• Trend analysis (improving/declining)
• Outliers and variances

5. Cross-Analysis

Critical insights:

• Products discussed most ≠ products performing best
• Meeting topics missing from OKRs
• Technical delivery focus vs commercial outcomes
• Action items without owners

Output Format

Google Docs Report

Use rich text formatting:

• Font: Century Gothic (Henry's preference)
• Structure: Executive summary → Findings → Recommendations → Appendix
• Tables: For metrics, comparisons, action items
• Highlights: Color-coded sections (concerns = red, wins = green, actions = blue)

Template structure:

# [Analysis Title] - [Date]

Local Files

Save for programmatic access and future reference:

1. Structured JSON - ~/clawd/output/[analysis-name]-data.json

   {
     "meetings": [...],
     "okrs": {...},
     "kpis": {...},
     "insights": [...]
   }
   

2. Markdown Report - ~/clawd/output/[analysis-name]-report.md

   • Full detailed report in markdown
   • Include all data tables and findings

3. Raw Data - ~/clawd/output/[analysis-name]-raw.json

   • Complete unprocessed data for audit trail

Workflow

1. Scope the analysis

   • Time range (e.g., last 6 months)
   • Meeting types (e.g., "Product Scrub")
   • Data sources needed
   • Specific questions to answer

2. Data collection

   • Pull Fireflies transcripts matching criteria
   • Extract OKR data from specified sheet
   • Extract KPI data from specified sheet
   • (Optional) Pull Slack messages from relevant channels

3. Analysis

   • Calculate metrics for each component
   • Identify patterns and anomalies
   • Cross-reference data sources
   • Generate insights

4. Report generation

   • Create HTML for Google Docs
   • Upload to Google Docs with rich formatting
   • Save structured JSON locally
   • Save markdown report locally

5. Delivery

   • Share Google Doc link
   • Brief executive summary
   • Highlight top 3-5 insights

Best Practices

Small vs Big Updates

• Small updates (minor corrections, added detail) → Modify existing doc in place
• Big updates (new analysis, major sections) → Create new tab or new doc

Analysis Depth

Balance comprehensiveness with clarity:

• Focus on actionable insights
• Use data to support recommendations
• Avoid overwhelming with raw numbers
• Tell a story with the data

Recommendations

Make them SMART:

• Specific - Name owners, define actions
• Measurable - Include success metrics
• Achievable - Consider constraints
• Relevant - Tied to business goals
• Time-bound - Set deadlines (e.g., 30 days, next quarter)

Example Queries

Find all Product Scrub meetings (last 6 months)

{
  transcripts(limit: 200) {
    id
    title
    date
    participants
    summary {
      action_items
      overview
      keywords
    }
  }
}

Filter client-side for title contains "Product Scrub" and date within range.

Get OKR data

const sheets = google.sheets({ version: 'v4', auth: jwt });
const response = await sheets.spreadsheets.values.get({
  spreadsheetId: '[SHEET_ID]',
  range: '[TAB_NAME]!A1:Z100'
});

Cross-reference example

// Meetings discussing "AXA"
const axaMeetings = transcripts.filter(t => 
  t.summary.keywords.includes('AXA') || 
  t.title.includes('AXA')
);

// AXA-related KPIs
const axaKPIs = kpis.filter(k => k.product === 'AXA');

// Insight: High meeting activity, low KPI performance
if (axaMeetings.length > 10 && axaKPIs.avgPerformance < 60) {
  insights.push({
    type: 'disconnect',
    message: 'AXA heavily discussed but underperforming'
  });
}

Common Pitfalls

1. Too much raw data - Synthesize into insights, don't dump numbers
2. Vague recommendations - Always name owners and deadlines
3. Analysis paralysis - Set time limits, ship insights iteratively
4. Ignoring context - Consider external factors (market, team changes)
5. Missing follow-through - Build action tracking into recommendations

Dependencies
