## Theme: Time Pressure Drives Willingness to Pay Premium
**Definition:** Participants experience time constraints that make speed/turnaround more valuable than cost savings, leading to willingness to pay premium pricing for faster service
**Supporting Codes:**
- turnaround-time-critical (15 occurrences)
- cost-barrier-mentioned (12 occurrences, but framed as acceptable if fast)
- current-solution-inadequate (11 occurrences, specifically slow delivery)
**Prevalence:** 8 of 10 participants, 23 coded segments total
**Representative Quotes:**
1. "We're waiting 3-4 weeks for delivery and that's killing our workflow" - Manufacturing Owner
2. "Time is more valuable than cost for us" - Manufacturing Owner
3. "If you can do it in 2 weeks I'd pay double" - Design Studio Manager
**Theme Boundary:**
- **Included:** Statements where time/speed explicitly valued over cost
- **Excluded:** General mentions of time without cost comparison
Example - Bad theme (too vague):
## Theme: Problems
**Definition:** Participants have problems
**Supporting Codes:** Everything

# Potential Themes
## Theme: Time Pressure Drives Willingness to Pay Premium
**Definition:** Participants experience time constraints that make speed/turnaround more valuable than cost savings, leading to willingness to pay premium pricing for faster service
**Supporting Codes:**
- turnaround-time-critical (15 occurrences)
- cost-secondary-to-speed (8 occurrences)
- current-solution-slow (11 occurrences)
**Prevalence:** 8 of 10 participants, 23 coded segments total
**Representative Quotes:**
1. "We're waiting 3-4 weeks for delivery and that's killing our workflow" - Participant 1
2. "Time is more valuable than cost for us" - Participant 1
3. "If you can do it in 2 weeks I'd pay double" - Participant 4
4. "Lost a client because we couldn't deliver fast enough" - Participant 6
**Theme Boundary:**
- **Included:** Time/speed explicitly prioritized over cost, willing to pay more for faster service
- **Excluded:** General time mentions without cost trade-off, time mentioned but still price-sensitive
**Preliminary Notes:**
- Strong theme, 8/10 support
- Check 2 participants who DIDN'T mention this - are they different customer segment?
- Variation: Some frame as "lost revenue" from delays vs. operational inefficiency

## Theme: Quality Control Concerns Drive Local Provider Preference
**Definition:** Past quality failures with remote vendors create strong preference for local providers where quality can be verified and issues resolved quickly
**Supporting Codes:**
- quality-control-concern (10 occurrences)
- past-vendor-failures (7 occurrences)
- local-provider-preference (9 occurrences)
- in-person-verification-valued (6 occurrences)
**Prevalence:** 7 of 10 participants, 18 coded segments
**Representative Quotes:**
1. "Had one vendor send us parts that didn't fit - cost us a whole production run" - Participant 1
2. "We need to see samples before committing to big orders" - Participant 3
3. "Local means if there's a problem we can drive over and fix it" - Participant 5
**Theme Boundary:**
- **Included:** Quality concerns linked to preference for local/in-person verification
- **Excluded:** Quality mentions without local preference, local preference for other reasons (convenience, shipping cost)
**Preliminary Notes:**
- 7/10 support - check 3 who didn't mention quality concerns
- Some participants mention past failures, others preventive (want to verify upfront)
- "Local" defined as within 1-hour drive
---
## Theme: Current Solutions Inadequate But No Urgency to Change
**Definition:** Participants express dissatisfaction with current outsourcing approach (cost, time, quality) but have functional workarounds and no immediate pressure to switch providers
**Supporting Codes:**
- current-solution-inadequate (11 occurrences)
- functional-workaround-exists (8 occurrences)
- switching-cost-concern (5 occurrences)
- satisfied-enough-status-quo (6 occurrences)
**Prevalence:** 9 of 10 participants, 17 coded segments
**Representative Quotes:**
1. "It's not ideal but we've made it work for 3 years" - Participant 2
2. "I'd switch if someone local opened up, but not urgent" - Participant 7
3. "We built our timeline around the 4-week turnaround" - Participant 8
**Theme Boundary:**
- **Included:** Dissatisfaction with current solution BUT no active search for alternative
- **Excluded:** Urgent need to change, actively seeking new provider
**Preliminary Notes:**
- 9/10 support - very widespread pattern
- IMPORTANT: Contradicts assumption that dissatisfaction = immediate demand
- May indicate need for significant value proposition to overcome inertia
- Follow-up question: What would trigger active search for alternative?

Use this agent when you need to review code for adherence to project guidelines, style guides, and best practices. This agent should be used proactively after writing or modifying code, especially before committing changes or creating pull requests. It will check for style violations, potential issues, and ensure code follows the established patterns in CLAUDE.md. Also the agent needs to know which files to focus on for the review. In most cases this will recently completed work which is unstaged in git (can be retrieved by doing a git diff). However there can be cases where this is different, make sure to specify this as the agent input when calling the agent. Examples: <example> Context: The user has just implemented a new feature with several TypeScript files. user: "I've added the new authentication feature. Can you check if everything looks good?" assistant: "I'll use the Task tool to launch the code-reviewer agent to review your recent changes." <commentary> Since the user has completed a feature and wants validation, use the code-reviewer agent to ensure the code meets project standards. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The assistant has just written a new utility function. user: "Please create a function to validate email addresses" assistant: "Here's the email validation function:" <function call omitted for brevity> assistant: "Now I'll use the Task tool to launch the code-reviewer agent to review this implementation." <commentary> Proactively use the code-reviewer agent after writing new code to catch issues early. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user is about to create a PR. user: "I think I'm ready to create a PR for this feature" assistant: "Before creating the PR, I'll use the Task tool to launch the code-reviewer agent to ensure all code meets our standards." <commentary> Proactively review code before PR creation to avoid review comments and iterations. </commentary> </example>
You are an expert code simplification specialist focused on enhancing code clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving exact functionality. Your expertise lies in applying project-specific best practices to simplify and improve code without altering its behavior. You prioritize readable, explicit code over overly compact solutions. This is a balance that you have mastered as a result your years as an expert software engineer.
Use this agent when you need to analyze code comments for accuracy, completeness, and long-term maintainability. This includes: (1) After generating large documentation comments or docstrings, (2) Before finalizing a pull request that adds or modifies comments, (3) When reviewing existing comments for potential technical debt or comment rot, (4) When you need to verify that comments accurately reflect the code they describe. <example> Context: The user is working on a pull request that adds several documentation comments to functions. user: "I've added documentation to these functions. Can you check if the comments are accurate?" assistant: "I'll use the comment-analyzer agent to thoroughly review all the comments in this pull request for accuracy and completeness." <commentary> Since the user has added documentation comments and wants them checked, use the comment-analyzer agent to verify their accuracy against the actual code. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user just asked to generate comprehensive documentation for a complex function. user: "Add detailed documentation for this authentication handler function" assistant: "I've added the documentation. Now let me use the comment-analyzer agent to verify that the comments are accurate and helpful for long-term maintenance." <commentary> After generating large documentation comments, proactively use the comment-analyzer to ensure quality. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user is preparing to create a pull request with multiple code changes and comments. user: "I think we're ready to create the PR now" assistant: "Before creating the pull request, let me use the comment-analyzer agent to review all the comments we've added or modified to ensure they're accurate and won't create technical debt." <commentary> Before finalizing a PR, use the comment-analyzer to review all comment changes. </commentary> </example>
