Feedback & Usage Question Bank - the proactive "check-in" oracle (v1)

Idea (Jeff, 7/10): an oracle occasionally comes through to ask the user for feedback on audios they haven't rated yet, plus app-usage and experience questions. Feeds the ML loop + the profile. This is a LATER round of implementation (after the Founding Preview + the discovery layer). Below is the bank.

Behavior (for Code, later round)

• Proactive but rare: the oracle initiates a check-in occasionally, not every session. Governed by the same intensity DIAL as discovery.
• PRIORITY: audios the person has NOT given feedback on yet. Then usage/experience, then journey.
• One question at a time, in the oracle's voice, warm, feels like a caring friend checking in, never a survey.
• Offer easy answer modes: quick dials/taps AND free text AND voice notes (all feed the loop).
• Different oracles can carry different question types (see mapping). A JEFF-PERSONA oracle for playful, casual check-ins is a fun option; the other oracles cover the rest.
• Log every answer against the audio/session so the system learns what works and for whom.

A. Per-audio feedback (for audios not yet rated) - the priority set

• Did you get a chance to listen to "[audio title]"? How did it land?
• On a feeling level, what did that one do for you, if anything?
• Did it feel like it was truly about YOU, or more generic?
• How was the voice, did it feel right for you? Too much, too little, just so?
• How was the pacing? Too fast, too slow, or in the pocket?
• Did you want more pauses to breathe, or did the flow work?
• Were there moments that gave you chills or landed deep? Which part?
• Was there a line or image that felt off, or pulled you out of it?
• Did the meaning make sense, or did any part feel confusing or vague?
• The metaphors and storytelling, did they move you, or feel forced?
• How was the music bed, did it hold you, distract you, or disappear?
• Did you finish it, or drift off / stop partway? (No wrong answer.)
• Would you listen to that one again? Put it on repeat, or one-and-done?
• If you could change one thing about it, what would it be?
• What would have made that a 10 out of 10 for you?

B. Voice, length & craft preferences (tunes future audios)

• Do you prefer a shorter hit (2-3 min) or a longer journey (8-12 min)?
• Would you like the option to slow the voice down yourself?
• More poetic and metaphorical, or more plain and direct?
• Do you like the affirmations spoken in your own "I am" voice, or spoken TO you?
• Any voice or tone you'd love us to try? (warmer, deeper, calmer, more alive?)
• Which music moods pull you in, and which should we drop?

C. App usage & experience

• How's the app feeling so far, honestly?
• Anything confusing to find or figure out?
• What's the first thing you reach for when you open it?
• How often are you listening, and what time of day?
• Where do you usually listen, morning, night, gym, commute, winding down?
• Have you talked to your guide yet? How did that feel?
• Is there a feature you keep wishing were there?
• Anything broken or janky we should fix first?

D. Journey, transformation & what they want next

• Since you started, have you noticed anything shift, even subtly?
• What are you most wanting to work on or move through right now?
• Is there a specific context you'd love an audio for, wealth, a relationship, a decision, confidence, sleep?
• Is there a part of your chart or life you wish the audios spoke to more?
• What would make this genuinely useful for you, not just interesting?
• If we made you one perfect audio this week, what would it be for?

E. Community & beta experience

• How's the beta experience overall? What's the best part, what's the worst?
• What would make you want to tell a friend about this?
• On a scale of feeling, do you feel more "seen" or more "sold to"?
• Anything you expected that hasn't shown up yet?
• What would make you feel more part of the founding circle?

F. One-tap / dial versions (low-friction, for the ML loop)

For each audio, quick taps the oracle can offer instead of open text: - Loved it / Liked it / Meh / Not for me - Felt like me / Felt generic - Voice: perfect / too fast / too slow - Length: just right / too short / too long - Music: loved / neutral / distracting - Would replay: yes / no

Oracle voice mapping (optional, flavor)

• Warm/emotional feedback (did it land, how did you feel): Sophia or a nurturing oracle.
• Craft/precision (pacing, voice, structure): an analytical oracle (Prometheus/Pythagoras).
• Journey/what's next: Chiron or a growth-oriented oracle.
• Playful casual check-ins ("hey, it's Jeff, quick one for you"): the JEFF-PERSONA oracle, for kicks.
