Our research shows that most customers want recurring orders. Recurring orders will increase retention by 25%. Customers told us they want to set it up in under a minute.\n\nUSER RESEARCH FINDINGS (Oct 2026, 18 interviews + survey of 412 business customers)\n- 61% of surveyed customers said they reorder the same items at least every two weeks.\n- 44% said they'd \"probably\" or \"definitely\" use recurring orders. (Not a majority.)\n- In interviews, 11 of 18 office managers described weekly reordering as \"annoying\" or \"a chore\".\n- Retention impact: no data. Finance estimated a 5-10% lift as a rough guess; no 25% figure anywhere.\n- Setup time: no one mentioned a time; 7 of 18 asked to be able to skip a week.","rules":[{"type":"numberedItems","count":3},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Asking for a polish","why":"The AI improves the wording and leaves the unsupported claims in.","fix":"Set it: \"Exactly 3 numbered lines, each starting Supported, Not supported or Overstated.\"","checks":["numberedItems","r0"]},{"title":"Not checking the numbers","why":"The AI can't know '25%' has no source unless you ask it to compare.","fix":"Add: \"Check every claim against the research findings.\"","checks":["r1"]},{"title":"Getting a rewrite","why":"AI adds a rewritten summary that may sneak in new claims.","fix":"Add: \"No rewritten summary.
