Hi!

I’m a huge ESMP fan, and I wanted to share the spreadsheet I’ve been using to keep track (I’ve been watching from EVERYONE’s perspectives). Given that I’ve been using my main gmail with my real name, I wanted to put one on a gmail with my online name so here.

hope y’all like it- all of the creators are brilliant and wicked talented, thank you for such an amazing series; I’m so excited for season two (yes I’ll be doing one for season two, and I’ll try to run it from the beginning).

Me looking at my business data:

has 47 different spreadsheets website analytics dashboard social media insights sales reports customer feedback forms

brain: "surely all this data will tell me how to grow my business!"

also brain 5 minutes later: "i have no idea what any of this means"

lisa owns 4 bakeries and tracks EVERYTHING:

daily sales (color coded by location obvs)

which cupcakes are the real MVPs

customer reviews (the good, bad, and "this frosting changed my life")

instagram engagement metrics

delivery app drama

the struggle: drowning in data but still making decisions based on ✨vibes✨

the breakthrough moment: AI that turns data chaos into actual insights

now lisa knows:

tuesday mornings at location #3 = pastry goldmine 🥐

coffee + pastry combo customers = 3x more likely to become obsessed regulars ☕

exactly where her customers live (perfect for location #5 planning) 📍

plot twist: location #5 is now the most profitable because DATA DOESN'T LIE

moral of the story: your data already has all the answers, you just need something smarter than excel to translate it into human language

who else has 73 tabs open trying to figure out what their business numbers mean?

AHA!!

I SAW ARYOSHA EARLY!!

I started a new file to check something in Rebirth and saw Aryosha running around Mac Anu, during the part early on when Haseo chases after Ovan through town.

I'm only at just after completing the dungeon with Silabus and Gaspard on this file, and have not managed to get Aryosha to appear again.

Amber, Seisaku, and...

Hold on. Where's William=G ??

William=G and Amber are always together! At least, they are in Rebirth.

I'm confused as to what animal Mikatan, Yoko, Tiphereth, Ingrid, Quasar, and Kanko's model is supposed to be.

Seriously, what is that?? I want to say lynx, but it also kinda looks like a rabbit!

Made it to Lumina Cloth in this run after spending about 10 hours gating in and out, or popping in and out of shops. Still really unhappy I lost so much of my spreadsheets, but it gives me an excuse to play games from a series I love.

Certain NPC players don't seem to show up until Lumina Cloth is unlocked, like Aryosha and Encephalon, even though (afaik) they only appear in Mac Anu. Or am I just super unlucky?

also am I misreading things or Encephalon heavily implied to talking with an AIDA whenever he mentions "he"?
