Iris reasoning as of Oct 26, 2026 · risks noted

Reach out to Sarah by text, the channel she replies on (3 of her last 4 texts), around 11:00 to 11:20 am. The activity log tells a clear story: she added the same four items twice and reached checkout, then went quiet. The most likely cause is a checkout interruption, not doubt about the purchase. Contact her today, confirm the order is what she needs and offer to place it for her. Given the long, warm relationship and her regular orders, the abandonment is almost certainly operational rather than relational.

Cart gaps

The cart holds her usual respirators and filters, but not the replacement valves she has bought with them before. Offer to add them.

Talking points

  1. "Hi Sarah, I saw your respirator order stopped at checkout. Did it go through, or would you like me to place it for you?"
  2. "I can add the replacement valves you usually take with the filters, so it ships together."
  3. "Anything you want to change on sizes before it goes out?"

Risks

Checkout friction is the main risk here, not relationship risk. If Sarah believes the order went through when it did not, or gave up assuming an item was unavailable, that is an experience failure to correct today.

No structural relationship risk at this time. Engagement is warm and frequency is strong. The abandonment reads as operational friction, not disengagement.

Is this another automation tool?

Not in the way most people mean it. Automation is great for the routine, until it starts to hurt your customer relationships or your bottom line. Some things should not be automated: the human touch that builds a relationship and grows a customer's lifetime value, or a decision that needs a human sanity check, like how much stock to reorder.
