## 9. Immediate next steps
**This week — decisions and de-risking (before any copy or build locks):**
1. **Renew aibook.fun today.** It expires 09-05; launch is 09-26. This is a chore, not a
strategic decision — do it now and delete it from the risk list. *(Owner: whoever holds the
registrar login.)*
2. **Resolve the pricing spine together — lifetime ([D-1](#10-open-decisions)) *and* royalties
([D-2](#10-open-decisions)).** They're linked, and both block copy freeze.
1. **~~Renew aibook.fun~~ Done.** Domain renewed (confirmed 2026-08-31). Launch remains 09-26.
2. **~~Resolve the pricing spine (D-1 / D-2)~~ Done 2026-08-31.** Anchor is **$47/yr**. No
lifetime SKU as an equal product. Founding writers are engaged **on contract** — v1 is an
authored book; open royalties are not the v1 mechanic. Copy freeze is unblocked on price.
3. **~~Ratify the North-Star + the product-health floors~~ Done 2026-08-29.** Locked in §8:
activation 20/35 from access date; campaign waitlist 50/100; post-key submissions 10/25 in
90 days; renewal 40/60 excluding lifetime; curation SLA not a launch bar.

| **D-1** | **Lifetime tier — offer it, and at what price?** A ~$97–147 lifetime breaks even against $47/yr in ~2–3 years, which *undercuts the recurring-revenue thesis.* | **Pick a spine.** Keep $47/yr as the anchor. If you want a lifetime option, frame it *only* as a bounded early-bird instrument to capitalize the community fund (capped quantity), not the default SKU. Don't ship recurring + lifetime as equals. | KS copy freeze |
| **D-2** | **Contributor payment — how do people earn for *writing workflows* (not just referring)?** Today the only paid mechanic is affiliate referral. | **Resolve before launch.** This is the engine of the "living book." Decide: royalty pool, per-accepted-workflow bounty, or an explicit "v1 is authored, paid contribution ships in Q1" — but decide, don't leave blank. | The core value prop |

| **D-2** | ~~Writer payment~~ **Signed 2026-08-31.** The first set of writers is engaged **on contract**. v1 is an authored book. Affiliate referral can still pay for *referring backers*; it is not how writing is paid. Open contribution + any royalty/bounty is post-v1 (Layer 2), not a launch mechanic. | Locked for v1.

| **D-5** | **Human-first or agent-first for v1?** Writing for human motivation and for machine ingestion are different jobs. | **Human-first.** Build the content format so agents *can* read it later (K-7), but optimize v1 for human learners. Agent onboarding is Layer 4. | Content design |
