REACH VERDICT: 520 impressions across 248 members — up 8% and 47% vs. Oct 17–23. The first full week after the Premium trial ended (Oct 22) did not fall further; reach widened modestly.

ENGAGEMENT SIGNAL: 9 engagements (flat vs. last week); a 1.7% rate vs. 1.9%. Interaction is holding at its lowest plateau of the experiment.

CONTENT ANOMALY: The Oct 28 effective-comms post led reach (94 impressions, 1 engagement); the Oct 23 "fav for-fun building" post led interaction (3 engagements on 71 impressions). Builder posts drew the conversation.

CHURN STATUS: 1,436 total followers (+2 net vs. Oct 23); 6 new followers recorded, partly offset by departures. The export does not establish why.

REACH VERDICT: 482 impressions across 169 members — down 44% and 60% vs. Oct 10–16. Distribution contracted after W5's peak; the export alone cannot tell us why.

ENGAGEMENT SIGNAL: 9 engagements (−47%); a 1.9% rate vs. 2.0%. Interaction fell roughly in step with impressions, rather than becoming substantially denser.

CONTENT ANOMALY: The Oct 21 backseat-view post led reach (79 impressions, 1 engagement). The Oct 14 second-page post still led interaction this week (3 engagements on 31 impressions): older posts remain part of the signal.

CHURN STATUS: 1,434 total followers (+13 net vs. Oct 16), the largest weekly net gain logged. 20 new followers recorded; lower weekly reach did not prevent audience growth. The export does not establish what drove follows or departures.

REACH VERDICT: 858 impressions across 423 members — up 44% and 58% vs. Oct 3–9, the widest member reach of the experiment so far. One post (Oct 12) carried 297 impressions.

ENGAGEMENT SIGNAL: 17 engagements (−1 vs. last week); a 2.0% rate vs. 3.0%. Reach keeps widening while interaction holds flat.

CONTENT ANOMALY: The "convos lately" post led reach (297 impressions, 3 engagements); the fuckthealgos second-page post led interaction (7 engagements on 91 impressions). Meta-posts about the experiment drew the deepest response.

CHURN STATUS: 1,421 total followers (+1 net vs. Oct 9); 2 new followers recorded, both on Oct 14.

REACH VERDICT: 595 impressions across 267 members — up 93% and 84% respectively vs. Sep 26–Oct 2. Reach rebounded; this export cannot establish algorithmic suppression or cross-network distribution.

ENGAGEMENT SIGNAL: 18 engagements (+6%); a 3.0% engagement rate vs. 5.5% last week. More visibility, but interaction did not grow at the same pace.

CONTENT ANOMALY: Chat + Cowork led reach (139 impressions, 1 engagement); the personal journey post led interaction (7 engagements across 84 impressions). Visibility and conversation favored different posts.

CHURN STATUS: 1,420 total followers (+1 net vs. Oct 2); 5 new followers recorded. The difference does not establish why followers left.

REACH VERDICT: Impressions down 35% WoW (309 total across 145 members); secondary feed distribution throttled.

ENGAGEMENT SIGNAL: 17 total engagements (5.5% rate); strong retention and interaction within close network despite reach constriction.

CONTENT ANOMALY: Corporate closure post outperformed raw cultural critiques 2:1 on reach.

CHURN STATUS: Followers held at 1,419 (+4 new); algorithm suppression has not triggered net follower loss.

REACH VERDICT: Impressions down 45% WoW (475 total across 184 members); secondary feed distribution contracting.

ENGAGEMENT SIGNAL: 23 engagements (4.8% rate); interaction consolidating inside the close network.

CONTENT ANOMALY: Reach decays within ~48h of each post; no cross-network amplification detected.

CHURN STATUS: Followers 1,419 (+4) — no net loss under declining reach.

REACH VERDICT: 865 impressions across 314 members — launch-week peak, 260-print spike on 9/21.

ENGAGEMENT SIGNAL: 37 engagements · 14 comments — highest conversational rate of the experiment.

CONTENT ANOMALY: Unfiltered launch posts drew the widest secondary distribution recorded to date.

CHURN STATUS: Followers 1,418 (+8) — net positive through the heaviest posting week.
