What Textopsy Analyses
On This Page
Delay alone is not enough
A slow response matters more when it comes with low curiosity, vague plans, and no repair after missed windows.
- Average reply time
- Worst reply gaps
- Story-view mismatch
- Apology and repair quality
How Textopsy separates noise from pattern
The parser compares reply windows across the whole export so one busy afternoon does not become a fake diagnosis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are slow replies always bad?
No. They are risky when they are recurring and paired with weak follow-through.
Can Textopsy calculate reply time?
Yes. Average reply times are part of the canonical metrics.
What if someone works long shifts?
Context matters. The report should be treated as pattern evidence, not a final moral verdict.
