EVIDENCE FOR A FINDING3 posts behind “The afternoon crash is being framed as a productivity problem, not a wellness category”Across Reddit, X, and workplace TikTok, people describe a strong morning and a lost afternoon — one WFH thread counts it as "losing like 2 hours every afternoon." The problem spans desk workers, line cooks, and delivery drivers, and people schedule around it: hard tasks in the morning, some skip lunch entirely. No product owns the answer in any thread.

What direct vs. indirect means
DIRECT content names OHOUP, its product, or a competitor. INDIRECT content never mentions the brand but is commercially relevant — a meme about pretending to work after a 1,400-calorie lunch can matter more than a low-engagement brand mention. Traditional mention monitoring only sees the first kind.
