❤️ HEALTH

Checks that run every week, whether or not they fire. A flag says something happened; these say what the state is, including that it is fine.

Backward moves (2)

Work that moved back to an uncommitted status. Review bounces are excluded: a drop into a started status is still being worked on.

• OPS-133 Data Requests for blog/linkedin content (👤 Erica): Staging → Backlog
• CORE-270 Website v2.1 (👤 Hady): In Progress → To Do

🔺 TRIAGE (11 flagged, 6 carried from last week)

Grouped by the first flag each ticket matches; a ticket with several flags is listed once, with the rest shown inline. "carried Nw" = flagged in this and the N-1 previous weekly reports; "new" = first week. Brackets are hints, not verdicts.

Carried 2+ weeks (6)

Shown in this report before and still flagged. Not a flag of its own: every one of these also appears under the flag that caught it.

👥 PEOPLE

Open tickets by status, with each owner measured against their own recent output rather than the team's.

• Baseline own mean closes over the previous 4 weeks
• Load weeks of work at each owner's own closing rate, ignoring anyone holding fewer than 3 tickets in a set
• Stuck 2+ parked or chronic tickets, or a drop in closes
• Too much active over 2w of In Progress + To Do
• Too much committed over 4w of everything owned except In Review
• Underloaded under 2 active and nothing closed in 2 weeks
