§ Field Guide · How it works
TrackDemand follows a simple operating loop: listen to the right places, match the right language, score what matters, synthesize the patterns, and act before the signal goes cold.
✶ The Operating Loop
Each step maps to a surface in the workspace. Skip none, automate most.
Pick subreddits, keywords, competitors, and exclusions. Compose real queries with boolean logic, intent labels, and negative keywords — and test them against 30 days of history before a single notification fires.
Tracker · Shopify checkout pain
TrackDemand watches Reddit in near real time, evaluating new posts and comments against every active tracker. Boolean handles the obvious. Semantic match catches the ones worded differently — "card data security" when you tracked PCI.
Shop Pay stuck on loading after iOS update
Customers complain my cart freezes at payment step
Anyone else seeing checkout errors this week?
Cart abandonment spiked — checkout broken?
Every match is scored 0–4 with rationale in plain language. The AI suggests; you accept or override; the workspace learns. Intent classification splits buyers asking for tools from people complaining from people doing research.
My checkout has been broken for 3 days and Shopify support is useless. Looking for a third-party monitor that will alert me the moment cart pages fail. Budget ~$50/mo.
Select 50, 500, or 5,000 threads and TrackDemand clusters them into themes with verbatim quotes attached. Demand research from raw threads — not just another alert pipe.
"Cart freezes on the payment step about 1 in 10 times."
"Shop Pay was down for 4 hours — lost $3k in sales."
"Desktop works fine but iOS Safari can't complete checkout."
"Shopify support told me to clear cache. That's it."
Every signal gets the actions you'd otherwise paste into ChatGPT. Draft a reply in your house voice, file as a content idea, push to your CRM, or share inside a weekly report. Replies stay drafts — TrackDemand never posts for you.
Persona · Founder, helpful, non-salesy
We saw the same thing last quarter — turned out to be a Shop Pay edge case on iOS 17. Quick test: open in private mode on mobile. If it works there, it's almost certainly a cookie / script-order issue. Happy to share the checklist we used.
TrackDemand tracks which queries, subreddits, and themes actually produce replies, leads, and content — and which just produce noise. Backtest changes before you ship them.
◇ One engine · Three product paths
High-intent buyers asking for tools, comparing options, or describing the exact pain you solve.
Theme clusters and verbatim quotes that tell you what your market actually says — in their words.
A weekly brief: what moved, what rose, what's worth reading — sent to you, your team, or your client.

✦ What makes it different
Alert tools tell you something matched. TrackDemand tells you what matters, why it matters, and what to do about it.
