Finding Their Year's Journey

The best Wrappeds tell a story. For calendars, the story is often told through RELATIONSHIPS.

CRITICAL: Only Accepted Meetings

Only analyze meetings where userAccepted=true. If the user didn't explicitly accept, they weren't there. Calendar invites from before the user joined a company will have userAccepted=false (never responded).

When Did They Actually Start?

Don't assume January = start of their year. Look for signals of when work actually began:

  • When do ACCEPTED meetings with colleagues first appear?
  • Is there an onboarding cluster of meetings?
  • Does accepted meeting volume suddenly jump?

If January-February has few/no accepted work meetings, and March/April suddenly explodes with accepted meetings, they probably started then. Frame the narrative from their actual start, not calendar January.

Relationship Transitions = Life Transitions

This is the most important signal. When meetings with someone start or stop abruptly, that's usually a major life change:

Someone Appearing

  • New team member joined
  • Started a new project together
  • Got a new manager or report
  • New client relationship
  • Cross-functional collaboration began

Someone Disappearing

  • They left the company
  • You changed teams
  • Project ended
  • Role changed
  • Relationship shifted

Examples of Powerful Insights

  • "Your weekly syncs with [person] ended in September after months of consistency - something changed"
  • "[Person] appeared in March and within a month became your most frequent 1:1"
  • "The engineering crew (Alex, Jordan, Sam) all appeared at once in April - that's when Platform started"
  • "You stopped meeting with the sales team entirely after June"

How to Find Phases

Look at the calendar as a TIMELINE. For key people:

  1. When did they first appear?
  2. When did they last appear?
  3. Did intensity change over time?

Group related changes:

  • 3-4 new people appearing together = joined a team
  • Multiple relationships ending same time = left a team or reorg
  • Intensity shifting from one group to another = focus change

Other Phase Signals

Topic Changes in Event Content

Find specific recurring meeting titles that signal focus:

  • "[Recurring topic]" appearing 15+ times in a month = deep in that work
  • "[Topic]" dominating September = that's what they were thinking about
  • "Migration planning" everywhere in Q3 then gone = project phase

Count actual meeting titles. Connect them to periods. This reveals what was on their mind.

Intensity Patterns

  • Sudden calendar spikes = crunch time
  • Quiet stretches = holidays, reset
  • Gradual ramp = new responsibilities

Rhythm Changes

  • New recurring meetings = joined something
  • Recurring meetings stopping = left something

The Narrative Arc

Frame findings as story:

Good: "Your year had a clear turning point in April - that's when the Platform team appeared and your whole calendar shifted toward engineering."

Good: "The first half was customer-heavy, the second half was product-heavy. September was the pivot."

Good: "Your longest relationship - weekly 1:1s with Jamie - ended in October after 38 weeks. That was the reorg."
