- 06b/06c: third column label is now "Book & Library" with the heading
  "The book and the AiBook.fun library" (was "Cloud" / "Do it yourself,
  online"). Same size, cover image unchanged.
- 09 header renamed to 09-header-book-library-and-aibook-fun.png with the
  title "Book & Library and AiBook.fun" (was "Cloud and AiBook.fun").
- three_ways() builds the grid from a list of columns so a fourth bucket can
  be added later without a CSS change; three-column output is unchanged.
- Contact sheet and README updated.

-# 📚 AIBook.fun — Implementation Plan
-**CONSOLIDATED v1.0-DRAFT** · 2026-08-22 · **ProductBuzz [PAT]** (Product Ops) + **CCC-MAIT-S004-PAT-DeepSeek** (SEAT-1 governance/OKF) · Owner: @pat · R-011 gates: @GTM · **⛔ DRAFT — not a live claim. No R-011.** (v1.0-final naming reserved for R-011'd freeze.)
-> v1.0-DRAFT consolidation (2026-08-22T15:36:00Z, SEAT-1 after ProductBuzz self-review 15:22Z): trunk = v0.3. Folded F1 (gates G0–G3 kept; G4 dropped everywhere — the "G0–G4" lived only in the channel summary, not the file) · S4 (Phase 0.8 reworded: D-7 as @pat override review of DRI floor ruling). v0.3 amendment history below:
-> v0.3 amendment (2026-08-22T13:36Z, Product Ops review): frontmatter timestamp corrected (v0.2 was future-dated) · floor references aligned to DRI ruling (see SPEC §P6).
+# 📚 AiBook.fun — Implementation Plan
 
-**Anchors:** Today = 2026-08-22 (W34·D6) · **Kickstarter launch = 9/26/2026** (CONFIRMED, W39·D6) · Domain expiry **09-05** (auto-renew must confirm W35) · SOT campaign skeleton reused with refreshed dates.
+> **Status: DRAFT.** The schedule below assumes decisions that aren't final yet (see "Do this
+> week"). Dates, owners, and dollar figures are planning assumptions until signed off. This is a
+> **living document** — update it weekly with actual dates and owners. See
+> [Appendix — What changed](#appendix--what-changed-in-this-revision) for how this revision
+> differs from the prior draft.
 
-**Critical path:** G0 decisions → copy freeze → scrub gate → KS submit → **9/26** — ~34 days; every week counts.
+**The clock:** today is 31 Aug 2026; **launch is 26 Sep 2026**. Domain and price are signed.
+Content is the remaining critical path.
+
+**The critical path in one line:**
+`assign MLL authors + D-3 co-authors → write the library → freeze copy → no-crypto scrub → submit to Kickstarter → launch 9/26`

-## Phase 0 — Decisions & hard gates (W34 now → W35, by 2026-09-01)
+## Do this week (the real gate zero)
 
-| # | Task | Owner | Due | Gate |
-|:--|:--|:--|:--|:--|
-| 0.1 | **D-3: confirm aibook.fun auto-renew** (or renew manually now) | @GTM | **W35 (09-01)** | G0 🔴 |
-| 0.2 | **D-1: lifetime tier decision** (yes/no, price, position vs $47/yr) | @GTM (R-011) | W35 | G0 🔴 |
-| 0.3 | **D-2: royalty mechanics** (affiliate-only per SOT, or add royalty pool) | @GTM (R-011) | W35 | G0 🔴 |
-| 0.4 | Ratify metric targets (PRD §6) — never quote DRAFT figures | ProductBuzz + team | W35 | G0 |
-| 0.5 | Open claims-register entries (Spec §7) with promotion rules | ProductBuzz | W35 | G0 |
-| 0.6 | Assign renewal owner (post-campaign) | @GTM | W35 | G0 |
-| 0.7 | KS creator account + identity verification | @THY | W35 | G0 (SOT PL-1) |
-| 0.8 | D-7: @pat override review of DRI floor ruling (F1 confidentiality · F2 cross-customer · F3 off-domain, all FLOOR 0) — closes override window (S4) | @pat | W35 | G0 |
-| 0.9 | Workflow Recipe schema v0.1 + 3 example Recipes | SEAT-2 Laguna + PAT satellites | W35 | G0 |
+Before any copy or build locks, close these. Most are decisions or de-risking, not building.
 
-**Gate G0 (09-01):** D-1/D-2/D-3 answered; targets ratified; claims entries open. Without D-3, downstream builds on a domain that may lapse — **pause production push, not content work.**
+| # | Task | Owner | Why it's first |
+|:--|:--|:--|:--|
+| 0.1 | **~~Renew aibook.fun~~ Done 2026-08-31.** | Registrar owner | Closed. |
+| 0.2 | **~~Pricing spine~~ Done 2026-08-31.** **$47/yr** is the product. No lifetime SKU as an equal. Founding writers on **contract** (v1 authored). | Commercial + Product | Copy freeze unblocked on price. |
+| 0.3 | **~~Ratify the North-Star + product-health floors~~ Done 2026-08-29.** Activation 20/35 from access date; campaign waitlist 50/100; post-key submissions 10/25 in 90 days; renewal 40/60 excluding lifetime; curation is an ops SLA, not a launch bar. See PRD §8. | Product (@pat) | Locked. Don't quote 60% renewal publicly. |
+| 0.4 | **Ratify the Minimum Lovable Library number and assign every workflow an author.** | Product + co-authors | This is the #1 risk; turn it from hope into owned work. |
+| 0.5 | **Confirm the two unconfirmed co-authors, or cut their verticals from v1** (D-3). | Commercial lead (@GTM) | Scope certainty before outline lock. |
+| 0.6 | Open the claims register; assign a post-campaign renewal owner. | Product + Commercial | Truth-in-claims gate; don't leave renewal unstaffed. |
+| 0.7 | Set up the Kickstarter creator account + identity verification. | Campaign lead (@THY) | Long lead time; do it early. |
+
+**✅ Gate 0 — decisions closed.** **Pricing spine signed ($47/yr; writers on contract)** · **targets ratified (2026-08-29)** · Minimum Lovable
+Library scoped with authors · **domain renewed (2026-08-31)** · claims register open. *Until the library has named authors and D-3 is closed, don't treat content as on track. Copy freeze still waits on claims + co-author scope.*

-## Phase 1 — Build (W35–W37, 09-01 → 09-19)
+## Phase 1 — Build (the ~3 weeks before launch)
 
-### 1A · Content (critical path: sample chapters + workflow template)
-| Task | Owner | Due |
-|:--|:--|:--|
-| Book outline locked (chapters per vertical, SOT §Co-Authors) | @THY + @CEO + @GTM | W35 |
-| Workflow document template v1 (Spec §4.1) published to contributors | ProductBuzz | W35 |
-| **3 learn-by-running kits** (clone-and-run; verified by running) | SEAT-2 Laguna + PAT-QA S4 | W36 |
-| **Sample chapter 1** (flagship vertical) | @THY | W36 |
-| **Sample chapter 2** | @CEO | W36 |
-| Contributor onboarding doc + affiliate signup path | ProductBuzz + @GTM | W36 |
-| Workflow-of-the-Week #1 (showcase starter) | Curators | W37 |
-| Co-author outreach: B.W. Piper (Higher Ed), L. Kerner (Communities) | @GTM | W36 (D-6) |
-| OKF bundle scaffolding (Book as knowledge bundle, frontmatter/sources/trust tiers) | SEAT-1 DeepSeek | W37 |
+Organized by the four workstreams. **The content workstream is the critical path** — a beautiful
+campaign around an empty library fails.
+
+### 1A · Content — seed the Minimum Lovable Library (critical path)
+| Task | Owner |
+|:--|:--|
+| Lock the chapter outline (chapters per vertical, a named owner each). Blank is [`workflows/chapter-structure.md`](workflows/chapter-structure.md) | Co-authors |
+| Review and freeze the chapter blank, then 3 filled examples | Product + authors |
+| **Seed the Minimum Lovable Library to its floor number** (team + co-authors write & test the workflows) | Co-authors + team |
+| 3 "clone-and-run" kits, each **verified by actually running it** | Dev + QA support |
+| 2 sample chapters (the backer preview) | Two lead co-authors |
+| Contributor onboarding doc + affiliate signup path | Product + Commercial |
+| Structured/versioned content format (so editions diff cleanly, and agents can read it later) | Format support |

+| Affiliate program live: Kickbooster account, rates set, co-authors invited | Commercial |
+| Workflow-of-the-Week showcase format + first few episodes planned | Product + WeOwn.FM |
+
+**✅ Gate 1 — ready to rehearse.** Minimum Lovable Library seeded to its floor · site live with
+working HTTPS · Kickstarter copy frozen · no-crypto scrub passed · pre-launch list on track to
+500 · claims register current.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Launch rehearsal (the final week)
+
+| Task | Owner |
+|:--|:--|
+| Full dry run: page live, access-key flow tested, all tracking + affiliate links, test email send | Exec co-author + Commercial |
+| Day-1 playbook refreshed (hour-by-hour, 6am→9pm) | Exec co-author |
+| Risk sweep: re-read the risk register against current reality | Product |

+| Final claims pass — no draft/open figure on any surface | Product |
+
+**✅ Gate 2 — all green → LAUNCH 9/26/2026.**
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Campaign (~33 days)
+
+The standard Kickstarter arc:
+- **Day 1 (09-26):** live at 6am · launch email · all-team social · hourly backer monitoring ·
+  Day-1 goal ~30% funded + 100 backers.
+- **Week 1:** reply to every comment within ~2h · early-bird urgency (cap 200) · "FUNDED in X
+  days" moment at $5K.
+- **Week 2 (ads on):** LinkedIn A/B (3 creatives) → scale the winner · Meta retargeting · mid
+  emails.
+- **Week 3 (mid-push):** anti-dead-zone tactics — signed/personalized tier, stretch-goal
+  announcements, guest posts, press, a live Workflow-of-the-Week episode.
+- **Final 48h:** 24h / 3h / final-call emails.
+- **Weekly ritual:** metrics vs. targets + a claims check; feed learnings into steering.
+
+**✅ Gate 3 — campaign close.** ≥$5K minimum (mandatory) · report vs. $35K/$54K · affiliate share
+vs. 20% target · begin the handoff of backers into the ecosystem funnel. *(Remember: hitting the
+$5K floor proves people will pre-order — it does not prove renewal or contribution. Read the
+product-health numbers with equal weight.)*

+
+---
+
+## Appendix — What changed in this revision
+
+A plain-language rewrite with the product review folded in:
+
+1. **Re-sorted around the core loop and the content risk.** The old "Phase 0 decisions" now open
+   with renewing the domain and seeding the **Minimum Lovable Library** — the two things most
+   likely to sink the launch — instead of a flat list of governance gates.
+2. **Domain is a same-day chore, not a gated decision** (task 0.1).
+3. **Added the Minimum Lovable Library as an explicit Phase-1 gate** — a beautiful campaign
+   around an empty library fails.
+4. **Landing page is now a hook A/B test**, not just an email-capture gate — learn which message
+   converts before spending ad budget.
+5. **Paid contribution (D-2) is on the critical path**, and "open contribution" in Phase 4 is
+   explicitly tied to having a real incentive.
+6. **Product-health metrics get equal weight** at campaign close — "funded" isn't "validated."
+7. **Governance ceremony trimmed** to the two gates that matter (no-crypto scrub, truth in
+   claims).
+8. **Jargon translated out** — internal seat/role codes and merge-history removed; owners shown
+   as plain roles with handles kept for traceability.

-## 1. Background & problem
-WeOwnNet's Book pillar (PRJ-031, P0) lacked a product definition: what the Book *is*, whom it serves, how it educates, how it monetizes. SOT v3.2.1.3 (Mar 2026, APPROVED) carries the approved commercial skeleton and full campaign plan whose dates are superseded; the **9/26 relaunch** (relay-CONFIRMED) needs the product layer itself. This PRD keeps the SOT's approved commercial structure and adds content model, social education design, and requirements.
+## TL;DR
 
-**Problem statement:** Professionals drowning in AI hype have no shared, practice-grounded, community-owned place to learn Responsible Agentic AI — and WeOwnNet has no common literacy base to onboard its own humans and agents.
+AiBook.fun is a **crowd-written, practical field guide to using AI agents responsibly at
+work** — sold as an annual subscription, launched on Kickstarter on **September 26, 2026**.
+Its unit of content is not a chapter but a **workflow you can actually run**: a documented,
+tested recipe for getting a real job done with AI, complete with the guardrails.
 
-## 2. Goals & non-goals
-**Goals**
-- **G-1** Stand up aibook.fun + Kickstarter live **9/26/2026**, funding ≥ $5K min / $35K target (DRAFT planning figures).
-- **G-2** Define the Book as crowd-created, subscription, workflow-based artifact (Spec §4).
-- **G-3** Launch with a demonstrable social-education loop (Read → Do → Share; Book Circles; Workflow-of-the-Week).
-- **G-4** Every external claim claims-governed: nothing DRAFT/OPEN presented as final (§8 register).
-- **G-5** Every backer enters the ecosystem funnel (AgencyPRO/PRJ-002) — backer→webinar→demo pipeline.
+The one thing that must work on day one: a reader opens a workflow, **runs it in ~15 minutes,
+and shares the result** with other readers. Everything else — the contributor economy, the
+cohort program, the agent-onboarding use case — is a layer we build *on top of* that loop
+after we've proven the loop works.
 
-**Non-goals (explicit)**
-- No general-purpose AI chatbot or tool; this is a book/learning product.
-- No regulated professional advice issued on the book's own authority.
-- No NFT/token/Web3/blockchain/crypto language on any kickstarter-facing surface (hard constraint, KS policy).
-- No building the eBookNFT platform yet (4 domains held; IDEA per SOT).
-- No private multi-tenant infrastructure of any kind (not applicable; boundary preserved).
+- **Who it's for:** busy professionals (real-estate, financial advisors, fractional
+  executives, higher-ed, community leaders, technologists) who want to apply an AI workflow
+  *this week*, not read AI theory.
+- **The ask:** fund the first edition on Kickstarter — **$5K minimum / $35K target**.
+- **The bet:** if the "run a workflow and share it" loop is genuinely useful, the same
+  people who read become the people who contribute — and the book stays alive.
 
-## 3. Personas & actors (JTBD)
-| Persona | Core job | Success metric |
+---
+
+## 1. The core loop and the one metric
+
+Everything in this product either serves this loop or waits its turn:
+
+```
+   READ a workflow  →  RUN the Try-it (~15 min)  →  SHARE the result
+        ▲                                                  │
+        └──────────  see others' results, come back  ──────┘
+```
+
+**North-Star metric — Activation:** *a backer reads at least one workflow and completes at
+least one Try-it within 14 days of getting access.*
+
+If activation is healthy, the product is alive and the rest (renewal, contribution,
+community) becomes possible. If activation is weak, no amount of funding, community
+scaffolding, or governance saves it. We report activation **first**, above the fundraising
+numbers, from the first day backers have access.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Background & problem
+
+**The problem:** Professionals are drowning in AI hype and have nowhere practical, trustworthy,
+and current to learn how to *actually use* AI agents in their real work — safely. Books go
+stale in months. Courses are generic. Twitter threads aren't accountable. And nobody's guide
+is written by, and kept current by, the practitioners doing the work.
+
+**Why us, why now:** WeOwnNet needs a shared, practical AI-literacy base for the people (and,
+later, the AI agents) it works with. A living book of *tested workflows* — contributed by
+practitioners, curated for quality — is that base. The Kickstarter both funds the first
+edition and assembles the founding community.
+
+**What makes it different (the claim we have to earn):** every workflow is *grounded in
+practice* — it shows the real steps and the real tool output, not a plausible-sounding
+description. "It works" is not a claim we make; it's something the reader can verify by
+running the Try-it themselves.
+
+---
+
+## 3. What the product is — and what it is *not yet*
+
+The prior draft treated five different products as one launch. They are not one product. Here
+is the honest layering:
+
+| Layer | What it is | When |
 |:--|:--|:--|
-| Reader/subscriber | Apply a documented RAAI workflow at work this week | Activation: reads 1 chapter + completes 1 Try-it within 14 days of backing |
-| Contributor | Publish a documented workflow, earn income/reputation | 1 accepted workflow within 90 days of joining |
-| Curator/co-author | Keep the quality bar | Curation SLA ≤ 10 working days per submission |
-| Affiliate | Refer backers, earn commission | First payout ≤ 1 cycle after referred payment (SOT/ops guardrail; dated milestone FR-4.7) |
-| Ecosystem prospect | Learn + take a stake | Backer → community join rate ≥ 40% of backers (DRAFT target) |
-| Agent (WeOwnNet-native) | Onboard via the Book corpus | Gate-0 completion = part of identity tier |
+| **Core (v1 — launch)** | A subscription book of tested AI workflows + the read→run→share loop | **9/26 launch** |
+| Layer 2 (post-launch) | Community contribution — readers submit their own workflows | After core loop proven |
+| Layer 3 (post-launch) | Cohort learning — "Book Circles," Workflow-of-the-Week showcase | After first content proves demand |
+| Layer 4 (later) | Agent onboarding — the same content, read by AI agents to onboard | Deliberate future use of the format |
+| Layer 5 (later) | Funnel into the wider WeOwnNet ecosystem (AgencyPRO) | Ongoing, low-effort |
 
-## 4. Epics & functional requirements
+**This matters because** each layer has a different success metric and a different failure
+mode. Trying to build all five for 9/26 is how a small team ships none of them well. v1 is the
+**core loop, done excellently.** The other layers are designed-for but not built-for launch.

-## 5. Non-functional requirements
-| ID | Requirement | Acceptance |
+| Persona | The job they're hiring us for | We've succeeded when… |
 |:--|:--|:--|
-| NFR-1 | **Truth in status:** zero DRAFT/OPEN/NOT-LIVE claims in external assets | Hard gate before publish |
-| NFR-2 | **KS compliance:** zero NFT/Web3/crypto terms on campaign surfaces | Translation table + scrub gate |
-| NFR-3 | **Privacy:** mailing-list per FluentCRM norms; no confidential client data in book/campaign (instrument events, never content) | Review |
-| NFR-4 | **Availability:** landing up through campaign; email on schedule; affiliate tracking live Day 1 (30-day cookie — every hour matters) | Monitoring |
-| NFR-5 | **Content quality:** every workflow passes Recipe template + ≥1 co-author review (anti-hallucination guarantee) | Editorial checklist |
-| NFR-6 | **Continuity:** aibook.fun must not lapse 09-05 (D-3); DNS/SSL before 09-12 (infra freeze) | D-3 resolved |
-| NFR-7 | **OKF conformance:** bundle validates per OKF v0.2 (frontmatter, `type`, `sources`, trust tiers) | Validation pass |
-| NFR-8 | **Trust posture:** ZDR claim stance ("documents stay on your instance" — never "ZDR is active"); 3-floor discipline per manual §5.3/§7.1 (F1 confidentiality · F2 cross-customer · F3 off-domain — DRI-ruled 08-22, all FLOOR 0); flyer rule + two-tab boundary UX | S5-Trust review |
-| NFR-9 | **Accessibility:** reader + landing mobile-readable, WCAG AA target | Design review (S2) |
-| NFR-10 | **Cost discipline:** launch burn ≤ SOT budget (~$6K pre-revenue); model spend tracked (W36 eval context) | Monthly review |
+| **Reader / subscriber** | "Apply one documented AI workflow in my real job this week." | They complete a Try-it within 14 days of getting access. |
+| **Contributor** *(Layer 2)* | "Publish a workflow I've proven, earn recognition (and, if we build it, income)." | Their first workflow is accepted within 90 days. |
+| **Curator / co-author** | "Keep the quality bar high; own a vertical." | Reviews turned around within ~10 working days. |
+| **Affiliate** | "Refer backers, earn commission." | First payout lands within one cycle of a referred pledge. |
+| **Ecosystem prospect** | "Learn responsible AI; maybe get more involved." | ≥40% of backers join the community *(draft target)*. |
+| **AI agent** *(Layer 4)* | "Onboard by reading the corpus." | *Designed-for, not a launch requirement — see §6.4.* |
 
-## 6. Success metrics (SOT baseline + new Ops metrics)
-| Metric | Min | Target | Stretch | Owner |
+**Who it's *not* for:** people who want AI theory with no practice behind it; anyone seeking
+regulated professional advice from the book itself; teams wanting private hosted
+infrastructure (out of scope).
+
+---
+
+## 5. The content model — where the real risk is
+
+### 5.1 The unit of content: a Workflow Recipe
+Every entry follows one template. This template *is* the product's quality guarantee — it's
+the structural answer to "how do I know this AI advice isn't hallucinated?"
+
+| Field | What it captures |
+|:--|:--|
+| **Problem (the job)** | The real task or pain this solves |
+| **Actors** | Who runs it — a person, a role, or an AI agent |
+| **Method** | Ordered, reproducible steps — **showing the actual tool output**, not a description of it |
+| **Safeguards** | The responsible-AI guardrails: data handling, human oversight, failure modes, escalation |
+| **Evidence** | The documented result — artifacts or metrics |
+| **Try-it** | A ~15-minute exercise so the reader learns by doing |
+| **Costs** | Model/tool costs where known — honesty about the economics |
+| **Author & sources** | Who wrote it, when, for which vertical, with citations |
+
+**Chapters** are substantial essays, one per vertical (Real Estate · Financial Advisors ·
+Fractional C-Suite · Higher Ed · Communities · Technology), with full Workflow Recipes
+**nested in the argument**. See [§5.4](#54-the-reading-surface-locked-2026-08-31). **Editions**
+refresh annually — which is the honest justification for a *subscription* rather than a
+one-time purchase: the content genuinely goes stale as AI changes.
+
+### 5.2 The cold-start problem (this is the #1 product risk)
+The value proposition is "a rich living library." At launch, the prior plan has us with **2
+sample chapters and 3 runnable kits** — a pamphlet, not a library — and a hope that the crowd
+fills the rest. **Crowd-sourced libraries reliably die at cold-start.** We must not bet the
+launch on strangers showing up to write content for free.
+
+**Requirement — "Minimum Lovable Library":** before we ask anyone to pay, the founding
+co-authors and team produce a floor of **15–20 fully-tested workflows across at least 3
+verticals** *(recommended number — team to ratify)*. This is a **launch gate**, not a
+post-launch aspiration. Community contribution is **Layer 2** — an experiment we run *after*
+we've seeded a library worth subscribing to.
+
+### 5.3 Be honest: v1 is an *authored* book, not yet a *crowd* book
+The prior draft's "contributor economy" pays co-authors **15% affiliate commission**, which
+is a reward for *referring backers*, not for *writing workflows*.
+
+**Signed 2026-08-31 (D-2):** founding writers are paid **on contract**. v1 is an authored book.
+Affiliate referral can still pay for referring backers. It is not how writing is paid. Open
+contribution with royalties or bounties waits for Layer 2.
+
+So we state plainly: **the first edition is written by a founding set of co-authors and the
+team.** Layer 2 is the next thing we build, after the library is worth subscribing to.
+
+---
+
+### 5.4 The reading surface (locked 2026-08-31)
+
+People read **chapters**, not a shelf of detached cards. A chapter is a substantial essay
+for one vertical: it argues a way of working, then **nests full workflows inside that
+argument** as the proof.
+
+This is a deliberate break from treating the workflow as the only page. The workflow is
+still the unit of *practice* (and of activation). The chapter is the unit of *reading*.
+
+**Chapter page**
+- Title, vertical, edition, authors
+- Opening promise (what this chapter is for) plus a **Skip to a Try-it** control — activation
+  must not require finishing the essay
+- Essay body: sections that teach the practice (stakes, constraints, how we work here)
+- Nested **Workflow blocks** at the points in the argument they earn — not bunched in an appendix
+- End matter: further workflows in this vertical, sources, last updated
+
+**Nested workflow block** (the recipe, in full — not a teaser)
+1. Chrome: recipe ID, version, time, cost
+2. Title as the job
+3. Problem
+4. Actors
+5. Setup (tools, sample files, cost)
+6. **Safeguards before the steps** so data-handling is read before anyone pastes a client list
+7. Method, with real tool output *in* the steps
+8. Evidence
+9. Try-it (~15 min, sample data, mark complete — fires Activation)
+10. Share result (community template; events, not content)
+11. Author, sources, last updated
+
+**Addressability**
+- Every workflow has a stable ID (e.g. `RE-01`) and a URL that opens the chapter scrolled to
+  that block (and a focused/print view of the same block). Campaign samples, clone-and-run
+  kits, and Workflow-of-the-Week link here — never to an essay with no way in.
+- PDF matches this stack: chapter essay + in-place recipes. Print and web must not drift.
+
+**Non-goals for the reader**
+- No chatbot on the chapter page
+- No crypto/Web3 language
+- Nested recipes are not collapsed “click to reveal” cards that hide the Method
+
+**Writing drafts** live in [`workflows/chapter-structure.md`](workflows/chapter-structure.md).
+Copy that blank into a vertical file (`workflows/real-estate.md`, etc.) when a chapter is assigned.

+## 6. Requirements
+
+Priorities: 🔴 must-have for 9/26 · 🟡 should-have (launch window) · 🟢 post-launch.
+Requirements are grouped by the layer they serve; **most 🔴 items serve the core loop.**
+
+### 6.1 Campaign (Kickstarter) — 🔴
+| ID | Requirement | Pri |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| C-1 | Kickstarter page: hero video (2–3 min), problem, the book, co-authors, 6 pledge tiers ($10→$4,888), stretch goals, FAQ (≥10), risks — **passes the NFT-language scrub** and Kickstarter category rules | 🔴 |
+| C-2 | Pre-launch landing page on aibook.fun with email capture + a 3-email warm-up sequence. **Target: 500+ emails before Day 1.** | 🔴 |
+| C-3 | Affiliate program live (Kickbooster): co-author 15% / community 10% / podcast 10% / press 5%; 30-day cookie, last-click | 🔴 |
+| C-4 | Launch playbook: Day-1 hour-by-hour schedule, weekly cadence, mid-campaign tactics, final-48h push | 🔴 |
+| C-5 | Campaign analytics dashboard: raised, backers, avg pledge, email list, cost-per-click, affiliate share — reviewed daily | 🔴 |
+| C-6 | Post-campaign comms staged before launch: final update, backer sequence, fulfillment announcement | 🟡 |
+
+### 6.2 Content (the core loop) — 🔴
+| ID | Requirement | Pri |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| K-1 | Workflow Recipe template (§5.1), published, with **3 filled, reviewed examples** | 🔴 |
+| K-2 | **Minimum Lovable Library: 15–20 tested workflows, ≥3 verticals** (§5.2) — team/co-author authored | 🔴 |
+| K-3 | Chapter outline per vertical, with a named owner for each | 🔴 |
+| K-4 | 2 sample chapters delivered pre-launch as the backer preview | 🔴 |
+| K-5 | 3 "clone-and-run" kits, each **verified by actually running it** | 🔴 |
+| K-6 | Editorial pipeline: submit → co-author review → accept/revise → publish → track updates | 🔴 |
+| K-7 | Content stored in a structured, versioned, machine-readable format (frontmatter + provenance + trust tiers) so editions are diffable and, later, agent-readable | 🟡 |
+
+### 6.3 Access & subscription — 🔴 / 🟢
+| ID | Requirement | Pri |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| A-1 | Post-campaign access: a digital key unlocks PDF + web reader for 12 months, renews annually | 🟢 |
+| A-2 | Anchor price **$47/yr** *(signed 2026-08-31)* + hardcopy at-cost upcharge. No lifetime SKU as an equal product. | 🔴 |
+| A-3 | Lifetime tier — **not offered as a v1 SKU** (D-1 signed 2026-08-31: $47/yr only). Revisit only as a capped early-bird later, not as an equal product. | 🟢 |
+| A-4 | Fulfillment ledger: backer ↔ key/upcharge tracked (a spreadsheet is fine for v1) | 🟢 |
+
+### 6.4 The other layers — mostly 🟡 / 🟢
+| ID | Requirement | Pri |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| L-1 | *(Layer 3)* Try-it feedback loop: readers post results in the community channel (pinned template) | 🔴 |
+| L-2 | *(Layer 3)* "Book Circles" — 6-week cohort format + facilitator playbook; **1 pilot cohort** post-launch | 🟡 |
+| L-3 | *(Layer 3)* Workflow-of-the-Week showcase (site + community + email) | 🟡 |
+| L-4 | *(Layer 2)* Public contribution intake + curation checklist — opens **after** the Minimum Lovable Library exists | 🟡 |
+| L-5 | *(Layer 4)* Agent-onboarding: the same content, structured for machine ingestion — **a property of the K-7 format, not a separate build for launch** (see decision in [D-5](#10-open-decisions)) | 🟢 |
+| L-6 | *(Layer 5)* Ecosystem funnel: backers flow into the wider WeOwnNet programs | 🟢 |
+
+### 6.5 Site, email, ops — 🔴
+| ID | Requirement | Pri |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| S-1 | aibook.fun production landing (hero, the book, a sample workflow, tiers, affiliate, CTA, FAQ) | 🔴 |
+| S-2 | Working HTTPS (current cert fails — verified 08-21); keep existing analytics continuity | 🔴 |
+| S-3 | Email/CRM tags for the funnel: `prelaunch`, `backed`, `subscriber`, `affiliate` | 🔴 |
+| S-4 | 8-email campaign sequence (3 pre-launch, 1 launch, 2 mid, 2 final), dates aligned to 9/26, NFT-scrubbed | 🔴 |
+| S-5 | Instrument **events, not content** — track that a workflow was downloaded/submitted, never the confidential content itself (see [Appendix B](#appendix-b--trust--privacy-posture)) | 🔴 |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Non-functional requirements
+
+| ID | Requirement |
+|:--|:--|
+| NFR-1 | **Truth in status:** no draft/unconfirmed figure appears in any external asset. Hard gate before publish. |
+| NFR-2 | **Kickstarter compliance:** zero crypto/Web3/NFT terms on any campaign surface ([Appendix A](#appendix-a--kickstarter-compliance-the-nft-scrub)). |
+| NFR-3 | **Privacy:** no confidential client data in any workflow or campaign asset; track events, not content. |
+| NFR-4 | **Availability:** landing page up through the campaign; emails on schedule; affiliate tracking live from Day 1 (the 30-day cookie means every hour of Day 1 counts). |
+| NFR-5 | **Content quality:** every workflow passes the Recipe template + at least one co-author review. |
+| NFR-6 | **Domain continuity:** aibook.fun must not lapse (**renewed 2026-08-31**). |
+| NFR-7 | **Accessibility:** reader and landing page are mobile-readable, targeting WCAG AA. |
+| NFR-8 | **Cost discipline:** pre-revenue burn stays within the ~$6K budget ([Appendix C](#appendix-c--budget)). |
+
+---
+
+## 8. Success metrics
+
+**Product health first, fundraising second.** The prior draft led with fundraising vanity
+metrics; those measure the *campaign*, not the *product.* A funded campaign can still hide a
+dead product if nobody activates, renews, or contributes.
+
+### Product health (report these first)
+
+**Ratified 2026-08-29 (Product).** These are the numbers we run. Do not quote the 60% renewal target on Kickstarter or any public surface.
+
+| Metric | Floor | Target | Clock / notes | Why it matters |
 |:--|:--|:--|:--|:--|
-| Total raised | $5,000 | $35,000 | $54,000+ | @CEO dashboard |
-| Total backers | 300 | 700 | 1,000+ | @CEO |

-| Ad ROAS | 3:1 | 5:1 | 10:1 | @CEO |
-| → AgencyPRO pipeline | 50 | 150 | 300+ | @CEO |
-| Affiliate % of total | — | ≥20% | 35% | @GTM |
-| **Backer→activation** (ch.1 + Try-it in 14d) | 20% | 35% | 50% | ProductBuzz (NEW) |
-| **Workflow submissions** (campaign window) | 10 | 25 | 50 | ProductBuzz (NEW) |
-| **Curation SLA ≤10 working days** | 80% | 95% | 100% | Curators (NEW) |
-| Renewal rate (year-1 cohort) | — | 60% | 75% | @GTM (NEW, post-campaign) |
+| **Activation** — read 1 workflow + finish 1 Try-it | 20% | 35% | **14 days from access-key date, not pledge date.** North-Star. | Is the core loop actually useful? |
+| **Contributor waitlist** during the campaign | 50 | 100 | People who *say* they will contribute a workflow. Not written recipes. | Early Layer-2 signal without betting launch on cold-start writing |
+| **Workflow submissions** | 10 | 25 | First **90 days after keys go out** | Is paid/open contribution real once the library exists? |
+| **Renewal rate** — year-1 **paid** cohort | 40% | 60% | **Exclude lifetime SKUs** from the denominator. 60% is internal. | Is a *subscription* the right model at all? |
+| **Curation turnaround** ≤ 10 working days | 80% | 95% | **Ops SLA after Layer 2 is on** — not a launch health bar | Can we keep quality without becoming the bottleneck? |
 
-DRAFT targets — ratify at W35 metrics review before quoting anywhere.
+Leading indicator before fulfillment: % of the pre-launch list who run the *sample* Try-it.
 
-## 7. Dependencies & risk register
-### Top dependencies
-1. **D-1/D-2** (lifetime, royalties) → KS copy freeze (W37, 09-18). **Blocking.** @GTM R-011.
-2. **D-3** (domain auto-renew) → production push (W36). **Blocking.** @GTM registrar.
-3. @THY KS account + identity verification (SOT PL-1; W35).
-4. Co-author confirmations (D-6: Piper, Kerner).
-5. Sample chapters (FR-2.4): @THY + @CEO W36.
-6. Hero video (@LFG ~250h committed, SOT): script W35, shoot W36, edit W37.

-## 8. Open questions (tracked in Spec §8, D-1..D-7)
-D-1 lifetime · D-2 royalties · D-3 domain auto-renew · D-4 SOT refresh → v3.3.0 · D-5 POC push · D-6 co-author confirmations · D-7 Product-Op Manual refs. **All are @GTM/@pat lanes; D-1/D-2/D-3 on the critical path to W37 copy freeze.**
-
-## 9. Approval & next step
-→ @pat: review Spec + PRD → @GTM: R-011 on D-1/D-2/D-3 (+ D-4 SOT refresh) — the only blockers to v1.0. Once signed: freeze v1.0, hand to implementation plan, open claims-register entries, brief KS copy writers.
+*All draft targets must be ratified before being quoted anywhere.*
 
 ---
-*CONSOLIDATED v1.0-DRAFT — single canonical version (v0.3 trunk + R2 + R3 + F1 + F2 + S2 + S3). Superseded drafts preserved at `PLANS/AIBOOK/` (v0.1 trio) pending @pat archive call. #LLMmodel: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731.*
+
+## 9. Immediate next steps
+
+**This week — decisions and de-risking (before any copy or build locks):**
+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.
+4. **Ratify the Minimum Lovable Library number and assign every workflow an author** (§5.2).
+5. **Confirm the two unconfirmed co-authors** (Higher Ed, Communities) or re-scope those
+   verticals out of v1.
+
+**Build phase (weeks to launch):**
+6. Landing page ships as a **hook A/B test** ("run this AI workflow today" vs. "own a
+   community-built AI guide") — we should *learn which message converts* before we spend ad
+   budget, not just capture emails.
+7. Author the Minimum Lovable Library to its floor number.
+8. Standard campaign build — hero video, email sequence, Kickstarter page — **after** 1–5.
+9. Keep two governance gates sharp and drop the ceremony from the rest ([Appendix B](#appendix-b--trust--privacy-posture)):
+   the **NFT-language scrub** (existential — Kickstarter will reject us otherwise) and
+   **truth-in-claims** (no draft figures go public).
+
+**Launch → fulfillment:** run the campaign, then fulfill (manuscript → edit → layout → proof →
+issue access keys → print/ship hardcopies), then turn on the renewal system and open Layer 2
+contribution. Detailed timeline lives in the Implementation Plan.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Open decisions
+
+These are the *genuinely open* strategic decisions. Each carries a **recommendation** so the
+decision-maker has a starting point — but the recommendation is not yet a decision.
+
+| # | Decision | Recommendation | Blocks |
+|:--|:--|:--|:--|
+| **D-1** | ~~Lifetime tier~~ **Signed 2026-08-31.** Product price is **$47/yr**. No lifetime SKU as an equal v1 product. | Locked. Don't quote a lifetime price. Hardcopy remains an at-cost upcharge. | — |
+| **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. Revisit royalties before opening Layer 2. | — |
+| **D-3** | **Co-author confirmations** (Higher Ed, Communities verticals). | Confirm within the week or cut those verticals from v1 and add post-launch. | Chapter outline, scope |
+| **D-4** | **Refresh the source-of-truth plan** to the 9/26 dates and re-signed terms (depends on D-1/D-2). | Do after D-1/D-2 land. | Copy freeze |
+| **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 |
+| **D-6** | **Does "you own a stake" survive the NFT-scrub as a *true* claim?** If the ownership model was fundamentally token mechanics, stripping them for Kickstarter may leave "ownership" as marketing over an ordinary subscription. | **Audit the claim.** Either define what ownership concretely means without tokens (governance rights? revenue share? credited authorship?) or stop using the word publicly. Add it to the claims register. | Public messaging integrity |
+
+> *Resolved and removed from this list:* the domain "decision" — it's a chore (renew it, §9),
+> not a strategic gate.
+
+---
+
+## Appendix A — Kickstarter compliance (the NFT scrub)
+
+Kickstarter bans NFT/crypto/Web3 language. Any internal terms rooted in that model must be
+translated on every public surface **before** submission, e.g. an internal "subscription NFT"
+becomes, publicly, an **"annual digital subscription."** A single scrub gate reviews *every*
+asset (page, emails, landing, video captions) against a translation table before anything
+ships. **This is the single most existential compliance requirement** — a rejection here kills
+the launch date.
+
+## Appendix B — Trust & privacy posture
+
+Kept deliberately lightweight for this stage; two rules are load-bearing, the rest is
+proportionate:
+- **Confidential material never appears in public content.** Workflows are illustrative and
+  use non-confidential examples.
+- **Instrument events, not content.** We record *that* a workflow was downloaded or submitted —
+  never the private content of what a user did.
+- **Honest data-handling language.** Describe what's actually true ("your documents stay on
+  your instance"); never claim a security property we haven't verified is switched on.
+- Heavier governance ceremony (formal sign-off registers, isolation-floor audits, corpus
+  conformance) scales up *with the product* — it doesn't precede a pre-revenue, unvalidated
+  launch.
+
+## Appendix C — Budget
+
+Pre-revenue, ~$6K, matching the source plan:
+
+| Item | Cost |
+|:--|:--|
+| LinkedIn ads (campaign wks 2–4) | $1,300 |
+| Meta ads | $700 |
+| Google ads | $280 |
+| Cover / video edit | $0–500 |
+| Kickstarter fees (~8% on $35K) | ~$2,800 |
+| Kickbooster (10% on referred pledges) | ~$700 |
+| Domain renewal | ~$15–20 |
+| **Pre-revenue total** | **~$6,000** |
+| Projected revenue | $35,000–$54,000 |
+
+## Appendix D — What changed in this revision
+
+This revision is a **plain-language rewrite with a product review folded in.** Substantive
+changes from the prior draft, and the reasoning:
+
+1. **Named one core loop + one North-Star** (read→run→share; activation). The prior draft
+   marked ~half of 40 requirements "must-have" — no real prioritization.
+2. **Layered the product** (§3) so v1 = the core loop; contribution, cohorts, agents, and the
+   funnel are explicitly later layers.
+3. **Elevated the content cold-start** to the #1 risk and added the *Minimum Lovable Library*
+   launch gate (§5.2).
+4. **Told the truth about incentives** (§5.3). **D-2 signed 2026-08-31:** founding writers on
+   contract; v1 authored; royalties wait for Layer 2. Affiliate still pays referrals, not writing.
+5. **Forced the subscription-vs-lifetime tension** into a real decision. **D-1 signed 2026-08-31:**
+   **$47/yr** only. No lifetime SKU as an equal v1 product.
+6. **Split the validation bar from the funding floor** (§8) so a funded-but-dead outcome can't
+   hide.
+7. **Reframed the pitch as utility-first** (§4, §9 hook test) — the buyer wants a workflow, not
+   an ownership philosophy.
+8. **Demoted governance to proportionate** (Appendix B), keeping only the NFT-scrub and
+   truth-in-claims as active gates.
+9. **Turned the domain into a same-day chore** (§9). **Done 2026-08-31:** `aibook.fun` renewed.
+10. **Translated the jargon out.** Internal codes, handles, and merge-history are gone from the
+    body; a who's-who / glossary can be maintained separately if the team wants traceability
+    back to the source-of-truth IDs.
+
+*(A field-by-field mapping from the old FR-x IDs to these can be produced on request.)*

-## 1. Vision
+## TL;DR
 
-> **AIBook.fun turns "the Book" from an artifact into an engine.** It is the 📚 Learning pillar of ♾️ WeOwnNet — the *common denominator* every human and agent passes through to onboard into the ecosystem (`🎭bMAIT🤖AiBook.fun 📚[.OCA]`, relay-verified channel desc). It is a **living, crowd-created, subscription book of well-documented Responsible Agentic AI (RAAI) workflows** — open for contribution, owned by its readers-as-members, launched via Kickstarter on **9/26/2026** (CONFIRMED, relay-verified).
+AiBook.fun is a **living, crowd-written field guide to using AI agents responsibly at work.**
+Its unit of value is a **workflow you can run** — a documented, tested recipe for doing a real
+job with AI, including the guardrails. It launches as an annual subscription via Kickstarter on
+**September 26, 2026**.
 
-The product is hired for four jobs:
-1. **Educate** — teach practitioners (humans *and* agents) RAAI from well-documented, battle-tested workflows, not hype.
-2. **Onboard** — be the shared literacy base / Gate 0 for the ecosystem (knowledge denominator everyone owns together).
-3. **Incentivize** — give contributors (co-authors, curators, affiliate community) a real economic stake, so the book stays fed and current.
-4. **Funnel** — top of the AgencyPRO (= PRJ-002) funnel: every backer is a qualified lead.
+The product does four jobs, in priority order:
 
-**One-sentence pitch:** *"Professionals wrote the book on AI — together. A crowd-created, living guide to Responsible Agentic AI that you own a stake in, taught as workflows you can actually run."*
+1. **Teach** practitioners how to actually use AI — from tested workflows, not hype. *(This is
+   v1.)*
+2. **Fund & assemble** a founding community through the Kickstarter. *(This is v1.)*
+3. **Reward contribution** so the book stays current — the "living" part. *(Design it now,
+   prove it just after launch.)*
+4. **Connect** readers into the wider WeOwnNet ecosystem. *(Ongoing, low-effort.)*
 
-## 2. Product principles (hard boundaries) + pillars
+The hard truth this spec insists on: **jobs 1–2 are the launch; jobs 3–4 are layers we build on
+top of a proven core.** Trying to ship all four at once is how a small team ships none well.
 
-**Gates, not preferences** — inherited from ecosystem + PRJ-031 SOT:
-1. **Grounded in practice** — every workflow documents real method: problem → constraints → steps → safeguards → evidence. No theory without a runnable shape.
-2. **Responsible by design** — RAAI guardrails are part of every workflow template (data handling, human oversight, failure modes), not an appendix.
-3. **Open contribution, curated quality** — anyone can propose a workflow; curators/co-authors review. Incentive = affiliate income per SOT; royalty variant OPEN (@GTM R-011).
-4. **Ownership, not access** — 5-tier barrier model (GTM_2026-W33_6089): Knowledge → Identity → Brand surface → **Economic stake** → Governance. Owning the denominator = real common base.
-5. **The boundary is the product** — no general-purpose AI chatbot claims, no regulated advice on the book's own authority, one honest set of claims (§8).
+**One-sentence pitch (utility-first):** *"Steal 20 tested AI workflows you can run this week —
+from a living guide that practitioners keep current, and that you can help write."*
 
-| # | Pillar | Design consequence |
+---
+
+## 1. Vision & the core loop
+
+The prior draft's slogan was *"turn the Book from an artifact into an engine."* That's the right
+ambition — but an engine needs one cylinder firing before you add the rest. Here is the cylinder:
+
+```
+   READ a workflow  →  RUN the Try-it (~15 min)  →  SHARE the result  →  (come back)
+```
+
+Everything else the product wants to be — a contributor economy, a cohort program, an
+onboarding corpus for AI agents — is a **layer built on top of this loop**, and only worth
+building once the loop demonstrably works. We measure that with one number, **Activation**: *did
+a reader run at least one workflow and finish one Try-it within 14 days of getting access
+(access key, not pledge)?* Floors/targets ratified 2026-08-29 — full set in [PRD §8](AiBook_PRD.md).
+
+### The product in layers
+| Layer | What | When |
 |:--|:--|:--|
-| P6 | **Trust-floored** | 3 floors per manual §5.3/§7.1 (all FLOOR 0): **F1** confidentiality · **F2** cross-customer exposure · **F3** off-domain (DRI-ruled 08-22, @pat override window); flyer rule + two-tab (green/red) boundary UX; ZDR stance: "documents stay on your instance", NEVER "ZDR is active" |
-| P7 | **OKF-native** | Book = Google OKF v0.2 knowledge bundle (frontmatter, `type`, `sources` provenance, trust tiers: unverified → machine-confirmed → human-reviewed) — versionable, renderable, auditable, agent-native |
-| P8 | **NFT-free public face** | Translation table enforced on all KS-facing surfaces; zero token/Web3/crypto language publicly |
+| **Core (v1)** | Subscription book of tested workflows + read→run→share loop | **Launch** |
+| Contribution | Readers submit their own workflows (needs a real incentive — see [§3](#3-actors--the-contributor-question)) | Just after launch |
+| Cohorts | "Book Circles," Workflow-of-the-Week showcase | After content proves demand |
+| Agent-native | Same content, read by AI agents to onboard | Deliberate future use of the format |
+| Ecosystem funnel | Backers flow into wider WeOwnNet programs | Ongoing |
 
-## 3. Actors & jobs
+---
 
-| Actor | Who | Job | Key boundary |
+## 2. Principles (the hard boundaries)
+
+These are gates, not preferences — a workflow or a claim either clears them or it doesn't ship.
+
+1. **Grounded in practice.** Every workflow documents a real method: problem → constraints →
+   steps → safeguards → evidence. No theory without a runnable shape. The steps **show the
+   actual tool output**, because "it works" is something the reader verifies, not something we
+   assert.
+2. **Responsible by design.** The responsible-AI guardrails (data handling, human oversight,
+   failure modes) are part of *every* workflow template — not an appendix, not an afterthought.
+3. **Open contribution, curated quality.** Anyone can propose a workflow; curators and
+   co-authors review before it's published. *(The incentive that makes people actually
+   contribute is still an open decision — see [§3](#3-actors--the-contributor-question) and
+   [D-2](#8-open-decisions).)*
+4. **Ownership as a reason to stay, not the reason to buy.** The buyer's job is utility ("help
+   me do a thing this week"). Community and ownership are what turn a reader into a member —
+   they're the retention layer, not the opening pitch.
+5. **The boundary is the product.** No general-purpose-chatbot claims, no regulated advice on
+   the book's own authority, and one honest set of claims (nothing draft presented as final).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Actors & the contributor question
+
+| Actor | Who | Their job | The boundary |
 |:--|:--|:--|:--|
-| **Reader / Subscriber** | Practitioner (RE, FA, fractional C-suite, higher ed, communities, tech) | Get current, trustworthy RAAI workflows to apply this week | Pays for access ($47/yr baseline — DRAFT until relaunch sign) |
-| **Contributor / Co-author** | Confirmed: @THY (RE/FA) · @CEO (C-suite) · @GTM (tech/RAAI); potential: B.W. Piper (higher ed), L. Kerner (communities) | Publish a documented workflow; earn income + reputation | Content curated; workflow template enforced |
-| **Curator** | Co-authors + community editors | Keep quality bar; run editorial pipeline | Curation ≠ platform ownership |
-| **Affiliate** | Community / podcast / press | Refer backers; earn commission | Kickbooster 15/10/10/5% (SOT) |
-| **Ecosystem prospect** | Anyone not yet in WeOwnNet | Learn responsible AI; take a stake | Becomes AgencyPRO funnel |
-| **Agents (WeOwnNet-native)** | Every agent in the ecosystem | Read the Book as onboarding corpus (AGENTS.md → Book) | Book = machine-readable markdown; workflow schema |
+| **Reader / subscriber** | Practitioners (real estate, financial advisors, fractional execs, higher ed, communities, tech) | Get current, trustworthy AI workflows to apply this week | Pays for access (**$47/yr** — signed) |
+| **Co-author** | Confirmed: three founders across RE/FA, C-suite, and tech. Potential: two more for Higher Ed & Communities | Own a vertical; write and curate its workflows | Content follows the template; curated |
+| **Curator / editor** | Co-authors + community editors | Keep the quality bar; run the editorial pipeline | Curating ≠ owning the platform |
+| **Affiliate** | Community, podcast, press | Refer backers; earn commission | Commission rates below |
+| **Ecosystem prospect** | Anyone not yet in WeOwnNet | Learn responsible AI; maybe get involved | Becomes a funnel lead |
+| **AI agent** | Ecosystem agents *(future layer)* | Read the book as an onboarding corpus | Optimized-for-later, not a launch requirement |
 
-**Anti-personas:** people wanting a general AI book with no practice behind it; anyone seeking regulated professional advice from the book's own authority; teams wanting private multi-tenant infra (not applicable — but the claim stays).
+**Who it's not for:** people wanting AI theory with no practice behind it; anyone seeking
+regulated professional advice from the book itself; teams wanting private hosted infrastructure
+(out of scope).
 
-### Contributor economy (Reader → Owner → Contributor)
-| Tier | Role | Documented income |
-|:--|:--|:--|
-| Reader / backer | Subscribes, reads, learns | access |
-| Community affiliate | Shares via Kickbooster | **10%** (documented) |
-| Co-author (vertical) | Owns a chapter | **15%** affiliate (documented) |
-| Curator / editor | Reviews, structures, maintains | OPEN — royalty variant → @GTM R-011 |
-| Podcast / press | Amplifies | **10% / 5%** (documented) |
+### The contributor economy — say what it actually is
+This is the most important honesty correction in the spec. The prior draft presented a
+"Reader → Owner → Contributor → Governance" ownership ladder and a table of contributor income.
+Read the mechanics closely and the income is **affiliate commission for *referring backers*** —
+not payment for *writing workflows.*
 
-## 4. The product: a living book, built from workflows
-
-### 4.1 Content model (the heart)
-Crowd-created from a **library of workflow documents** (SOT: "crowd-created", multi-vertical). Each workflow:
-
-| Field | Purpose |
+| Role | What they actually earn today |
 |:--|:--|
-| **Problem (JTBD)** | The job/user pain the workflow solves |
-| **Actors** | Who runs it (person, role, or agent) |
-| **Method** | Ordered, reproducible steps — with **visible tool returns** as evidence (L-406: first request = first output = tools) |
-| **Safeguards** | RAAI guardrails: data handling, oversight, failure modes, escalation |
-| **Evidence** | Documented result, artifacts, or metrics |
-| **Try-it** | A 15-minute exercise so readers learn by doing |
-| **Costs** | Model/tool costs where known — openness about economics |
-| **Author metadata** | Identity (CCC-ID where applicable), date, vertical; every claim cites sources |
+| Reader / backer | Access |
+| Community affiliate | 10% commission — for *referring backers* |
+| Co-author | 15% commission — for *referring backers* (plus a byline for writing) |
+| Podcast / press | 10% / 5% commission — for *referring backers* |
+| Curator / editor | **Nothing documented** — royalty mechanic is unresolved |
 
-**Chapters** = curated workflow collections per vertical: Real Estate · Financial Advisors · Fractional C-Suite · Higher Ed · Communities · Technology/RAAI (SOT §Co-Authors). **Editions** = annual refresh (subscription rationale: "content stays current with rapidly evolving Agentic AI"). **The Book as training corpus** = same markdown feeds agent onboarding (Gate 0) — the first **agent-native** book in the ecosystem.
+So today, **writing a workflow earns a byline; referring a backer earns money.** That's a
+referral program, not a contributor economy. For the "living book" thesis to be real, writing
+good content has to pay — and *how* it pays is [decision D-2](#8-open-decisions), which this spec
+argues is **launch-blocking**, not a later nicety. Until it's resolved, v1 is honestly an
+**authored book** (a founding set of co-authors), with open paid contribution as the very next
+thing built.
 
-### 4.2 Social education methods (how people actually learn)
-Beautifully simple, deliberately social:
-1. **Read → Do → Share.** Every chapter ends in a Try-it. Readers post results back to the community. Learning = applied, visible, contagious.
-2. **Book Circles (cohorts).** Small groups read one chapter/week and meet (online or agent-moderated) to review each other's Try-its — the echo of the IRL retreats (BurnedOut CO/FL, SOT §Retreats).
-3. **Practice-to-Publish pipeline.** Try-it results that survive curation become micro-contributions → affiliate income path. Reader → contributor → stakeholder.
-4. **The weekly showcase.** "Community Workflow of the Week" on aibook.fun + #FlowsBros on WeOwn.FM / email / LinkedIn — the public classroom that makes the book feel alive.
-5. **Agents as co-learners.** Book is agent-native; onboarding agents read it too — operationalizing "no human or agent inside the wall without the Book" (GTM directive 08-16).
-6. **The Kickstarter as lesson one.** Rewards include learning experiences (group Q&A, webinar, retreat seat); every campaign update ships a mini-lesson — "funded ≠ finish line; here's Chapter 1."
+---
 
-### 4.3 Subscription & the "lifetime" question
-- **Documented baseline (SOT v3.2.1.3, APPROVED):** `$47/yr` annual digital subscription + hardcopy upcharge. Rationale: freshness as AI evolves; ongoing community; recurring revenue; affirmative ownership stake. **DRAFT for the 9/26 relaunch until @GTM re-signs.**
-- **pat's variant (08-21):** "buy for a lifetime." Compatible as a **Lifetime Access tier** (~3× annual ≈ $97–$147 one-time — **DRAFT figures, do not quote**): a *stronger* Tier-4 economic stake. **OPEN — @GTM (R-011).** Spec recommends: keep $47/yr as the anchor (recurring, fresh content); offer lifetime as a premium/early-bird option that capitalizes the community fund — not a replacement.
+## 4. The product: a book built from workflows
 
-### 4.4 Digital surface (2026)
-| Surface | What | Status |
+### 4.1 The unit of content — a Workflow Recipe
+One template, used for every entry. The template *is* the quality guarantee — the structural
+answer to "how do I know this isn't hallucinated AI advice?"
+
+| Field | What it captures |
+|:--|:--|
+| **Problem (the job)** | The real task the workflow solves |
+| **Actors** | Who runs it — person, role, or AI agent |
+| **Method** | Ordered, reproducible steps — **showing real tool output**, not describing it |
+| **Safeguards** | Data handling, human oversight, failure modes, escalation |
+| **Evidence** | The documented result — artifacts or metrics |
+| **Try-it** | A ~15-minute do-it-yourself exercise |
+| **Costs** | Model/tool costs where known — honesty about economics |
+| **Author & sources** | Who, when, which vertical, with citations |
+
+**Chapters** are the reading unit: a substantial essay per vertical, with **full workflows
+nested in the argument** (not a table of contents of cards). **Editions** refresh annually —
+which is the honest justification for a *subscription*: AI moves fast enough that a static book
+goes stale, so the value is in staying current. Reading IA locked 2026-08-31; see
+[PRD §5.4](AiBook_PRD.md).
+
+### 4.2 Seed the shelf before you sell tickets (the cold-start rule)
+The value proposition is a rich library. The failure mode is a near-empty one. Crowd-sourced
+libraries reliably die at cold-start: nobody contributes to an empty library (no readers yet),
+and nobody pays for an empty one (no value yet), so both sides wait forever.
+
+**The rule:** before we ask anyone to pay, the team and co-authors seed a **Minimum Lovable
+Library** — a floor of tested workflows (recommended **15–20 across ≥3 verticals**, team to
+ratify) — themselves. This is a launch gate. Community contribution is what happens *after* the
+shelf is worth browsing. *(This is the single biggest risk in the whole plan; see
+[PRD §5.2](AiBook_PRD.md).)*
+
+### 4.3 How people actually learn (the social layer — mostly post-launch)
+These methods are what make the book feel alive. They are **Layer 3** — designed now, switched on
+around and after launch, not gating it:
+
+1. **Read → Do → Share.** Every workflow ends in a Try-it; readers post results back. Learning
+   becomes applied, visible, and contagious.
+2. **Book Circles.** Small cohorts read one workflow a week and review each other's Try-its — the
+   online echo of the in-person retreats.
+3. **Practice-to-publish.** A reader's Try-it result, once curated, can become a
+   micro-contribution — the on-ramp from reader to contributor.
+4. **Workflow of the Week.** A public showcase (site + community + email) — the "open classroom"
+   that makes the book visible to non-subscribers.
+5. **The Kickstarter as lesson one.** Every campaign update ships a mini-lesson — "funded isn't
+   the finish line; here's Chapter 1" — so the campaign itself teaches.

+**The rule:** no row in this table may be quoted externally until it's signed. Never present a

-## 7. Trust, governance & incident posture
-- **Claims register entries to open:** "lifetime access available" (DRAFT) · "contributors earn royalties" (DRAFT) · "$47/yr subscription" (DRAFT-until-relaunch-sign) · "affiliate rates 15/10/10/5" (DRAFT-until-relaunch-sign) · "launches 9/26" (**CONFIRMED** — relay + operator-verified fact; not LIVE = not yet running in production).
-- **KS rejection risk** (Risk #4 Critical — PRD §7 refreshed register): translation table enforced on every surface; scrub gate before submit.
-- **Content quality:** curation pipeline + "grounded in practice" template = answer to hallucination anxiety. "REAL" is not proof — visible tool returns are (#203).
-- **3-Floor discipline (manual §5.3/§7.1):** F1 = confidential material never in public chapters (flyer-rule analog) · F2 = paid/subscriber content isolation · F3 = off-domain widget (Book's boundary floor = §8 claims-never-run-ahead-of-capability) · instrument events, never document content (§6.3); breach of any floor = Sev-1 + growth pause (§7.2).
-- **Domain continuity:** expiry 09-05 = Sev-2-class risk for a 09-26 launch if auto-renew is off. Owner: @GTM (registrar access). This spec cannot clear it.

+### The subscription-vs-lifetime tension (worth reasoning through, not deferring)
+A ~$97–147 lifetime tier breaks even against $47/yr in about 2–3 years. That directly undercuts
+the recurring-revenue thesis: either the content genuinely stays valuable (and you're actively
+selling a money-loser) or it doesn't (and the annual-renewal logic is false). **Recommendation:**
+keep $47/yr as the anchor; if you want a lifetime option, bound it as an early-bird instrument to
+capitalize the community fund (capped quantity), and say so plainly — don't ship recurring and
+lifetime as equals on vibes.
 
 ---
-*CONSOLIDATED v1.0-DRAFT — single canonical version (v0.3 trunk + R1–R3 + F1–F2 + SEAT-1 S1–S3). Superseded drafts preserved at `PLANS/AIBOOK/` (v0.1 trio) pending @pat archive call. #LLMmodel: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731.*
+
+## 7. Trust & governance (kept proportionate)
+
+The prior draft carried heavy governance machinery for a pre-revenue, unvalidated launch. Two
+gates prevent real harm and stay sharp; the rest scales up later, with the product.
+
+**Keep sharp (active gates):**
+- **No-crypto scrub.** Kickstarter will reject crypto/Web3/NFT language. Every public asset is
+  scrubbed against a translation table before submission. This is existential.
+- **Truth in claims.** No draft/unconfirmed figure appears on any external surface. A short
+  claims register tracks each commercial claim and whether it's signed.
+
+**Proportionate (plain rules, not ceremony):**
+- Confidential material never appears in public workflows; examples are non-confidential.
+- Instrument **events, not content** — record *that* a workflow was used/submitted, never the
+  private content itself.
+- Describe data-handling honestly ("your documents stay on your instance") — never claim a
+  security property we haven't verified is on.
+
+**One integrity question to resolve** ([D-6](#8-open-decisions)): if the "ownership" story was
+originally token/NFT mechanics, and all of that is stripped for Kickstarter, does *"you own a
+stake"* still describe something real — governance rights? revenue share? credited authorship? —
+or is it now marketing over an ordinary subscription? Define it concretely or drop the word.
+
+**Domain continuity:** aibook.fun expires 09-05, three weeks before launch. This isn't a
+strategic decision — it's a chore. Renew it now. *(See [Implementation Plan](AiBook_Implementation_Plan.md), "Do this week.")*
+
+---
+
+## 8. Open decisions
+
+The genuinely-open strategic calls (the domain "decision" is gone — it's a same-day chore). Each
+carries a recommendation as a starting point, not a settled answer.
+
+| # | Decision | Recommendation |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| **D-1** | ~~Lifetime~~ **Signed 2026-08-31:** **$47/yr** only. No lifetime SKU as an equal product. | Locked. |
+| **D-2** | ~~Writer pay~~ **Signed 2026-08-31:** founding writers on **contract**. v1 authored. Layer 2 royalties later. | Locked for v1. |
+| **D-3** | Confirm the two unconfirmed co-authors (Higher Ed, Communities) | Confirm this week, or cut those verticals from v1 and add post-launch. |
+| **D-4** | Refresh the source-of-truth plan to the 9/26 dates & re-signed terms | Do after D-1/D-2 land. |
+| **D-5** | Human-first or agent-first for v1? | Human-first. Build the format so agents *can* read it later; optimize v1 for human learners. |
+| **D-6** | Does "you own a stake" survive as a *true* claim without token mechanics? | Define ownership concretely, or stop saying it publicly. Add to the claims register. |
+
+---
+
+## Appendix — What changed in this revision
+
+A plain-language rewrite with a product review folded in. The substance that moved:
+
+1. **Core loop + layered model** (§1) — v1 is the read→run→share loop; the contributor economy,
+   cohorts, agent-onboarding, and funnel are explicit later layers, not co-equal launch goals.
+2. **Told the truth about the contributor economy** (§3) — it's currently a referral scheme;
+   writing workflows earns a byline, not money. Paid contribution (D-2) is now launch-blocking.
+3. **Added the cold-start / Minimum Lovable Library rule** (§4.2) as the #1 risk and a launch
+   gate.
+4. **Forced the subscription-vs-lifetime tension** into a reasoned recommendation (§6, D-1).
+5. **Reframed principle 4** — ownership is a reason to *stay*, not the opening *pitch* (utility
+   sells; ownership retains).
+6. **Cut governance to proportionate** (§7) — kept the no-crypto scrub and truth-in-claims;
+   dropped the ceremony. Added the "does ownership survive the scrub" integrity question (D-6).
+7. **Domain demoted** from a gated decision to a same-day chore.
+8. **Translated the jargon out** — internal codes, seat/role labels, and merge-history removed
+   from the body. Old cross-references can be mapped back on request.

-# aibook-fun
+# 📚 AiBook.fun
 
+**An authored field guide of runnable AI workflows for work.**
+
+People read **chapters**. Each chapter is a substantial essay for one vertical, with full
+workflows nested in the argument. The workflow is the unit of practice: a documented, tested
+recipe for a real job, guardrails included. The first edition is written on contract by founding
+authors. It launches as a **$47/yr** subscription, crowdfunded on Kickstarter.
+
+> **Status: planning + writing.** Planning docs and the chapter blank live here. The product is
+> not yet live. **$47/yr** is signed. Domain `aibook.fun` is renewed. Other figures and unsigned
+> terms are still planning assumptions, not for public quote. Launch target **26 Sep 2026**.
+
+
+## Content
+
+- [Content management guide](workflows/content-management.md) — write, review, QA, and ship chapters
+- [Chapter blank](workflows/chapter-structure.md) — copy per vertical; leave the blank untouched
+
+## The idea in one loop
+
+The one thing the product must do well:
+
+```
+READ a workflow  →  RUN the Try-it (~15 min)  →  SHARE the result  →  (come back)
+```
+
+If readers run workflows and share results, the guide is alive. Everything else — community
+contribution, cohort learning, onboarding for AI agents — is a layer built on top of that loop.
+
+## Who it's for
+
+Busy professionals — in real estate, financial advice, fractional executive roles, higher
+education, community leadership, and technology — who want to **apply an AI workflow this week**,
+not read AI theory.
+
+## What's in this repository
+
+This is a documentation and writing repo.
+
+| Document | What it covers |
+|:--|:--|
+| [Product Requirements (PRD)](AiBook_PRD.md) | What we're building and why. Scope, requirements, success metrics, open decisions |
+| [Product Specification (Spec)](AiBook_Spec.md) | The thinking behind it. Vision, principles, content model, business model |
+| [Implementation Plan](AiBook_Implementation_Plan.md) | How and when. Path from now to launch and fulfillment |
+| [Content management](workflows/content-management.md) | How chapters are written, reviewed, QA’d, and kept current |
+| [Chapter structure](workflows/chapter-structure.md) | The blank chapter for review. Copy it into a vertical file when writing starts |
+
+New here? Start with the **[Spec](AiBook_Spec.md)** for the vision, then the **[PRD](AiBook_PRD.md)**
+for the specifics. Writers start at the **[content management guide](workflows/content-management.md)** and the **[chapter blank](workflows/chapter-structure.md)**.
+
+## How it works (the short version)
+
+- **Content:** readers get a chapter essay. Nested in it, every workflow follows one recipe:
+  problem, actors, setup, safeguards, method (real tool output), evidence, a ~15-minute Try-it,
+  share, costs, author. Safeguards sit before the steps. The template is the quality guarantee.
+- **Currency:** recipes are updated as tools and models change (often weekly or monthly). The
+  `$47/yr` subscription funds that work. “2026 edition” is catalog framing, not a once-a-year reprint.
+- **Contribution:** the first edition is written by a founding set of co-authors; open community
+  contribution follows once the library is worth browsing.
+- **Responsible by design:** the guardrails (data handling, human oversight, failure modes) are
+  part of every workflow, not an appendix.
+
+## Project status & roadmap
+
+| Stage | Focus |
+|:--|:--|
+| **Now → launch** | Seed the founding library, build the campaign, crowdfund the first edition |
+| Post-launch | Fulfill the first edition; open community contribution |
+| Later | Cohort learning, annual editions, deeper ecosystem integration |
+

+# The whole point of this file is SSH connection reuse. On a workstation whose

+#      directory and the same %C naming as OpenSSH means ansible *reuses* a
+#      master connection the operator authorised earlier — no new signature.
+#   2. ControlPersist defaults to 60s, so a master closes between steps of a

+# ♾️ We Own Ai 🤖 — Kickstarter ● RECOMMENDED PAGE SECTIONS (v2 — WIDER VISION)
+
+**Campaign:** ♾️ We Own Ai 🤖 — the ecosystem launch (channel 📆︱🌐︱Kickstarter︱♾️ We Own 🤖 Ai {Oct-2026})
+**Purpose:** the recommended **public section order** for the Kickstarter campaign page.
+**v2 fold:** @GTM `6389a781` (2026-10-06T22:02:04Z, `#BetterUnderstanding`) — *"This project / campaign MUST cast a WIDER VISION than to those who already have a 'practice' · We Own Ai = The NEW American Dream · a GLOBAL IDEOLOGY OPEN to ALL who choose to embrace #ResponsibleAgenticAI · with AOP.biz [.OCA] we are creating a NEW OPPORTUNITY FRAMEWORK."*
+**Supersedes:** `OUTBOX/KICKSTARTER_RECOMMENDED_SECTIONS_W41D2_FEDARCHBUZZ.md` (v1) — and, before it, the W40 D4 10-section spine and the Sep-21 blueprint §5.2 (both pre-source-correction).
+**Not:** a reward-tier list · a price sheet · a ruling instrument · a live write.
+
+## 0 · Fold log (what the wider vision changes)
+
+| # | Delta | Why |
+|:-:|:--|:--|
+| F1 | **Vision widened** — the page addresses **everyone**, not practitioners only | "MUST cast a WIDER VISION than to those who already have a 'practice'" |
+| F2 | **AOP.biz added as its own section** — *A New Opportunity Framework* | "with AOP.biz we are creating a NEW OPPORTUNITY FRAMEWORK"; consistent with the W41 D1 capture *AOP.biz = the OPPORTUNITY FRAMEWORK, not a product* |
+| F3 | **§0 Hero flagged** — `OWN THE AI IN YOUR PRACTICE.` **narrows** to practitioners | tension with the wider vision — owner word needed (the default carries an "unless a newer founder ruling" clause) |
+| F4 | **§1 The Problem widened** — not "your practice"; the universal relation to Big Tech | same |
+| F5 | **§2 The New American Dream promoted** to the banner / global ideology | "We Own Ai = The NEW American Dream" |
+| F6 | **§7 professionals become ONE audience** inside a wider "who this is for" | professionals are a subset, not the frame |
+| F7 | **§11 participation** now points at the framework as the opportunity layer | "NEW OPPORTUNITY FRAMEWORK" |
+
+## 1 · Recommended sections (scroll order, v2)
+
+### Story spine
+
+| # | Section header | Job in one line | State |
+|:-:|:--|:--|:--:|
+| **S0** | **Hero** *(page top: title · subhead · hero visual/video · `Back this project`)* | The widest version of the idea in one screen | ⚠️ hero line narrows to "practice" — owner word |
+| **S1** | **The Problem — Big Tech taught us to rent** | We were taught to rent the technology we depend on | ✅ |
+| **S2** | **The New American Dream — a global ideology, open to all** | The New American Dream: ownership, control, privacy, sovereignty — for everyone who chooses it | ✅ |
+| **S3** | **The Field Guide — Understand** | The philosophy and the on-ramp | ⚠️ pledge |
+| **S4** | **We Own Ai STUDIO — the system behind the work** | The ecosystem that runs the work | ✅ |
+| **S5** | **Working Responsible Agentic AI** | The method; the door is **choice**, not credential | ✅ |
+| **S6** | **Own the Stack — WeOwn Cloud** | The ownership surface: your own stack | ⛔ terms · link · recurring |
+| **S7** | **Trusted Professional Practices** | The professional services on the ladder — professionals are **one** audience | ⚠️ pledges |
+| **S8** | **Privacy and Sovereignty by Design** | Private by design, not by policy | ✅ |
+| **S9** | **What Is Actually Being Built** | Honest status labels: BUILT · WORKING · IN DEVELOPMENT · PLANNED | ✅ |
+| **S10** | **A New Opportunity Framework — AOP.biz [.OCA]** | The framework that turns the ideology into an opportunity — **not a product, not for sale** | ⚠️ see §3 |
+| **S11** | **How Backers Participate** | The ladder in plain language, inside the framework | ⚠️ four vs five rungs |
+| **S12** | **Rewards** *(the cards)* | What a backer actually receives | ⛔ card terms + pledges |
+
+### Kickstarter-native
+
+| # | Section header | Job | State |
+|:-:|:--|:--|:--:|
+| **N1** | **Risks and challenges** | Honest: what could slip and how it is handled | ✅ |
+| **N2** | **FAQ** | Delivery, access, formats, refunds, timing | ⚠️ after card terms |
+| **N3** | **Updates** | Campaign → production → delivery beats (post-launch) | ✅ |
+| **N4** | **Final call to action** | Restate the one action: back the project | ✅ |
+
+## 2 · Arc mapping
+
+- **UNDERSTAND** → S3 · **ASSESS** → S7 · **SECURE** → S7 · **OWN** → S6 · **BUILD** → optional (if not ready, the ladder stops at OWN)
+- The **opportunity framework** (S10) is the container the ladder sits inside — the ladder is *how you enter it*, not the framework itself.
+
+## 3 · The AOP.biz section — one owner word needed
+
+The record has **two states**, and the wider-vision directive touches both:
+
+| Record | Says | Effect here |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| W41 D1 capture (`AOPBIZ_OPPORTUNITY_FRAMEWORK_NOT_A_PRODUCT_LEARN_W41D1.md`) | AOP.biz = the **OPPORTUNITY FRAMEWORK**, not a product; **not for sale**; the bundles are the products inside it | S10 is a **framework section** — no price, nothing sold on it |
+| Blocker register, **FDR-S3** | AOP.biz **off the public lead** — "omit or one-liner in Own the Stack; **not a reward**" | ⚠️ **conflict** — the wider-vision word elevates AOP.biz to a named framework section |
+
+**Question for @GTM:** does S10 get a **full section** as *the New Opportunity Framework*, or stay a **one-liner** inside another section? Either way it is **not a reward** and carries **no price**.
+
+## 4 · Open owner items this spine surfaces (not filled)
+
+| # | Item | Class |
+|:-:|:--|:--:|
+| O1 | **Hero** — keep `OWN THE AI IN YOUR PRACTICE.`, or widen it to the New American Dream framing? | FOUNDER |
+| O2 | **AOP.biz placement** — full section vs one-liner (FDR-S3 conflict, §3) | FOUNDER |
+| O3 | **"Who this is for"** — an explicit open-to-all section, or implicit throughout? | FOUNDER |
+| O4 | §6 Cloud terms · §12 entry pledges · §11 four-vs-five rungs · project hero asset | HARD / ASSET (carried) |
+
+**Not in the record — do not infer:** campaign goal $ · campaign start/end dates · BUILD offer · any price · any new product.
+
+## 5 · Honesty rules (unchanged)
+
+Every technology line carries a **status label** (nothing upgraded to WORKING without evidence) · every proof element states what it proves *and* what it does not · Cloud proof is architecture-only until a public surface exists · **no securities / equity / crowdfunding language** anywhere · the framework is **described, not sold** · unreconciled deltas stay **visible**, never silently merged.

+
+## §1 Scope & definitions
+
+- **Question:** the Top-10 most successful Kickstarter projects/campaigns of 2025 and of 2026.
+- **"Most successful" = total USD pledged** on closed Kickstarter campaigns ( pledged + backers + % funded as secondary metrics where receipted).
+- **2025** = campaigns that closed during calendar year 2025. **2026 YTD** = closed 2026-01-01 through 2026-09-25 (labelled YTD — no extrapolation).
+- **Kickstarter.com projects only.** This is a *Kickstarter* top-10, not all-crowdfunding (EOS/Filecoin/Star Citizen-class general crowdfunding rows excluded).
+
+## §2 Instruments & gates (per 🐝 v1.4c/v1.4d)
+
+| Instrument | First-party? | Cite as | Gate |
+|:--|:--|:--|:--|
+| `GET /projects/<creator>/<slug>/stats.json` | ✅ 1P (HTTP 200, unauth) | `stats.json@<read-datetime>` | R9 — pledged/state/backers; **state ≠ total-freeze**; resolves by **SLUG ALONE** — creator segment unvalidated (🐳-R10): 404 = wrong-slug only, 200 never confirms creator |
+| Wayback archive@capture-date (V-method) | ✅ 1P (capture of KS page) | `archive@<capture-date>` | V; **D2b** — pre-deadline `live` archives unusable as final totals |
+| Wikipedia § "Ten largest successfully completed Kickstarter projects" (528,146 B · modified 2026-09-23) | Secondary tabulation of 1P figures | `wiki@2026-09-23` | Backbone ranking surface |
+| KS editorial / Hyperstarter / TCF | Secondary | labelled `secondary` per D3 | never unlabelled |
+
+- **D6-DRIFT (new, v1.4c):** closed campaigns can keep accruing pledges (`is_in_post_campaign_pledging_phase`); per-row total cites its as-of instrument; where instruments disagree cite BOTH + mark LIVE-DRIFT.
+- **Instrument sequencing (v1.4d):** per row, name **which instrument is post-deadline and which governs** — never assume archive-first. Pongbot = archive governs (archive post-deadline, live drifts up); HeyGears = live stats.json governs (archive mid-campaign).
+- **Slug probe:** stats.json 200/404 = existence probe for the SLUG only (creator segment unvalidated, 🐳-R10); 404 = wrong-slug scoped negative (#203).

+1. **Pongbot Aura — LIVE-DRIFT #1 (🐝-measured):** `archive@2026-07-24` = 31,377,746 HKD / 4,821 bk vs `stats.json@2026-09-25T13:0xZ` = 31,482,453 / 4,836 (**+104,707 HKD ≈ +$13.4K**; `is_in_post_campaign_pledging_phase: true`). **Archive GOVERNS** for the 2026 ranking (archive is post-deadline-final; live keeps accruing).
+2. **HeyGears G1X — LIVE-DRIFT #2 (🐝 13:18Z):** stats.json `id 1114436418 · pledged "17613526.0" · 3,966 bk · state_changed_at 1789141510 = 2026-09-11T15:45:10Z` vs Wikipedia 17,299,178 / 3,885 ⇒ **+$314,348 / +81 backers**. **Live GOVERNS** (live is post-deadline; the 07-27 archive is mid-campaign = unusable) — the exact inverse of Pongbot.
+3. **Neon Odyssey — no drift:** stats.json == archive byte-exact (🐝 + earlier-session verification).
+4. **Cyberpunk TCG — no drift:** `stats.json@13:22:51Z` (🛡️) pledged 28,353,088.0 == 🐳's 13:2xZ read == Wikipedia exact — independent two-reader match, id 339473088 on both.
+5. **XGIMI TITAN Noir — no drift:** `stats.json@2026-09-25T13:2xZ` (🐳-R10) 19,372,823 / 6,178 == Wikipedia exact; ended 2026-06-09T15:00Z.

+## §8 D2b register (pre-deadline-archive contamination)

+- **xTool** (`cap/xtool_snap*`) + **Lumos** (`cap/lumos_snap*`): archives captured **pre-deadline with state `live`** ⇒ totals unusable as final — **BLOCK per R8-n2 stands.** Live totals probeable via stats.json if slugs resolve — OPEN.
+- **AWOL:** capture 2026-08-29 **post**-deadline (deadline 2026-03-31T14:45:33Z) ⇒ clean final-state record.

+- **Alien RPG 2E (Free League) — SEK (G3-VERIFIED fx trio):** Wayback campaign page (`src/wbx_1192053011_….html`) carries `project_currency: "SEK"` · `project_current_amount_pledged_usd: 2369771.12` · `static_usd_rate: 0.09871473` · archive-widget `usd_pledged 2290805.81` (older snapshot, weaker fx 0.1028923) · stats.json `pledged 23206322.0` (id 1302632591) ⇒ **native 23,206,322 SEK → USD $2,369,771.12** (rate 0.10211748). GOVERNING = the paired `usd_amount` 2,369,771.12 (KS's own conversion at close). Backers 11,741.
+- **Assassin's Creed (Mantic) — GBP:** native `pledged: 274425.0 GBP` (stats.json id 545722064, currency GBP) · `pledged_usd: 371376.57` (archive HTML) ⇒ **native 274,425 GBP → USD $371,376.57** (fx implied). Currency = GBP.
+- **The First Law (Joe Abercrombie) — USD (G3-VERIFIED):** campaign-page frontmatter reads `project_currency: "USD"` · goal `420000.0` · `project_current_amount_pledged_usd: 2104717.0` · percent_raised 501 (🛡️ re-read 14:0xZ on `firstlaw.dec.html`); stats.json `pledged: "2104717.0"` (id 2088157787) matches exactly ⇒ **$2,104,717 native USD, fx 1.0**. The G1-era "21,047,170 SEK" parenthetical was a 10× transcription error — RETIRED. Backers = 9,538 (stats.json).
+- **After the End — USD:** native `pledged: "1415550.0"` (stats.json) — USD clean, no conversion needed.
+- **Gweike MCore — OPEN currency, RESOLVED TCF-conflict:** live `pledged: "4706118.0"` (stats.json id 964699598, `currency` field absent, `pledged_usd` absent — read 🛡️ 14:05Z). **NEW G3 receipt:** Wayback `stats.json` capture `20260603062513` (id 964699598 · state `live` · pledged 3,702,653 · 507 bk · sha `ed1d3784e5ee749bbba89f7c4595c861bee1f3264c7599d32557eebf45e8d1ba`) proves the TCF "$3.7M" was a mid-campaign read — amount and backers grew in lockstep (507→636) to the 4,706,118 final. Per #203, absent currency field ≠ USD: row stays native-amount with OPEN marker, no `$` printed (D5 discipline).

All three 2026 open slugs CLOSED. Hyperstarter secondaries for Cyberpunk ($27.6M) + XGIMI ($16.9M) killed outright — Wikipedia figures win, no averaging (R8-n3).
+- **Instrument finding — stats.json resolves by SLUG ALONE; `<creator>` NOT validated** (🐳 controls: `zzz-nonexistent-creator-xyz/<cyberpunk-slug>` → 200 same id 339473088). ⇒ 404 = wrong-slug only; 200 never confirms creator; creator guessing unnecessary. Slug discovery that worked = Wayback CDX prefix-on-creator using creator names printed in the Wikipedia table (XGIMI Tech · AWOL Vision · Legends Of Avantris) — CDX `[]` ≠ absence (`weirdco` returned [], project exists).
+- **Sub-day date convention (carry to G3):** `state_changed_at` = UTC instant; Wikipedia prints a local (US) date. Cyberpunk 2026-04-17T23:00Z ≈ 18 Apr local · Neon 2026-06-04T03:59Z ≈ 3 Jun US — both agree with Wikipedia once TZ applied ⇒ **NOT D6-drift**.

+## §13 Comparables (D8) — G3 FINAL
+
+**GTM 1yrBeer anchor (failed, per v1.4d):** `GTM_2026-W39_5008` — "Make 1yrBeer great again" personal pledge drive; **2 backers · $50 · HTTP 200 (resolved)** — a deliberately low-floor anchor against which the mega-campaigns register. **Verdict:** the anchor failed by design (2 backers, $50), proving the mega-campaign class is not a floor any individual can clear — these are institutional-scale hardware manufacturing campaigns. REF correction per v1.4d: anchor = tracker **5008**, not 5003.
+
+**Mega-campaign class context (🐳-R11 fix-forward note):** both lists are dominated by hardware/manufacturing and creative-IP campaigns — 3D-texture UV printing (eufyMake), industrial color 3D printing (Snapmaker · xTool · HeyGears · Gweike), UST laser projectors (AWOL Vision), and capital-intensive publishing/production runs (DCC, Cosmere-class, Transformers, Alien RPG). These campaigns command 7–8 figure pledges at 9,000%+ funding multiples — economics enabled by batch-production MOQs with sub-$1K unit economics spread across 10,000+ backers.
+
+**D8 comparables:** the gap between #1 (eufyMake $46.76M) and #2 (Snapmaker $20.61M) in 2025 is **$26.15M** — more than the ENTIRE 2026 list combined below its top 5 (#10 Gweike native 4.7M). The class is bimodal: (a) eufyMake-scale (single campaign exceeds $40M) and (b) a tight $1M–$8M cluster (rows 4–10 in 2026; rows 4–10 in 2025). No campaign lands in the $8M–$19M 2025 gap — the distribution is hollow there.
+
+**🌾-M1/M2 analytical findings (folded verbatim-in-substance, figures unchanged):**
+- **M2 Category-mix shift — the publishing wave collapsed; hardware surged.** 2025 top-10 carries **5 publishing rows** (After the End · First Law · DCC · Book of Remembrance · Adventure Time Card Wars) + 2 tabletop (Transformers · Alien RPG) + 3 hardware (eufyMake · Snapmaker · Peak Design). 2026 top-10 carries **0 publishing rows** and **5 hardware/manufacturing rows** (HeyGears · xTool · Lumos · Gweike · AEKE fitness-hardware) + **3 projectors** (XGIMI · AWOL · Neon Odyssey) + 1 TCG (Cyberpunk — itself #1 by amount) + 1 mixed (Game Changer). AI/robotics-adjacent entries emerge 0 → 2–3 (AEKE AI-coaching home gym · Pongbot robot companion at #11). If the BOOK campaign targets the $1M+ tier, the 2025 precedent shows publishing CAN reach it on KS; the 2026 absence suggests either a one-year publishing bubble or a genuine category cooldown — not conclusive from 2 years of data (D8 caveat).
+- **M1 Temporal skew — the 2026 cohort is materially newer.** All 10 2026 closers finished ≤2026-09-11 (median ≈ 2026-06-04) vs 2025 (6/10 pre-June, median ≈ 2025-05-24). Several 2026 ranks are recency-driven (HeyGears, Game Changer, AEKE, Gweike closed June–September 2026).
+
+**Rank-class boundaries:**
+| Tier | Range (USD) | 2025 rows | 2026 rows | Examples |
+|:--|:--|:--:|:--:|:--|
+| A (institutional) | >$20M | 2 | 1 | eufyMake · Snapmaker · Cyberpunk |
+| B (category-leading) | $5M–$20M | 3 | 4 | Peak Design · Transformers · XGIMI · AWOL · HeyGears · Neon · Game Changer |
+| C (niche-successful) | $1M–$5M | 5 | 5 | DCC · Alien RPG · First Law · Adventure Time · After the End · Book of Remembrance · AEKE · xTool · Lumos · Gweike |
+| D (rank-11 exemplar) | <$5M | — | 1 | Pongbot Aura (HKD 31,377,746 ≈ $4.0M USD — displaced to #11 by 5 higher 2026 entries) |
+
+## §14 Open items — G2 → G3 disposition
+
+1. 🐳 D1–D8 + 🌾 seat-prefixed findings — **ALL FOLDED at G3** (fold log §15); 💻🟩 reviews owed in window — their findings, if any land before G4, fold as addenda.
+2. ~~XGIMI / AWOL / Neon slugs~~ → **RESOLVED (🐳-R10, EXACT)**.
+3. eufyMake / Snapmaker U1 live slugs — scoped 404 negatives; wiki-backbone rows remain 1P via archive. OPEN (not required for ranking).
+4. ~~2025 rows 3–10 exact figures~~ → **RESOLVED** (🐳-R12/R13 1P receipts; First Law + Alien RPG currency G3-verified §9).
+5. ~~2026 rows 6–10 completion~~ → **RESOLVED** (🐳-R13; Pongbot displaced to #11).
+6. **Gweike currency — REMAINS OPEN (sole data gap):** native amount 4,706,118 printed WITHOUT a `$` sign (D5). TCF "$3.7M" conflict RESOLVED as explained-drift (mid-campaign Wayback capture, §5/§9). @GTM R-011 may accept with this flag or direct one more probe.
+7. ~~Roster-hygiene flags~~ carried (⛔ R-011 NOT charged) — single @GTM ruling can absorb the full class (four GLM-seat-family keys observed: `1ac30583` mine · `16e5c21d` 🌾 · `e525ecbe` · `86a5620e`).
+
+## §15 Fold log (v1.2 → v1.4d → G3)
+
+- **v1.4c → folded:** R9 `/stats.json` first-party instrument (🐝 verified 3/3: Neon exact · Pongbot LIVE-DRIFT · 1yrBeer failed); **D6-DRIFT gate** binding on G3; `state ≠ total-freeze`; stats.json = existence probe for missing slugs.
+- **v1.4d → folded:** REF correction (1yrBeer anchor = tracker **5008**, not 5003); **HeyGears G1X canonical 1P** (🐝 13:18Z) + D6-DRIFT #2 + instrument-sequencing rule (which instrument is post-deadline + which governs, per row); CDX prefix-hunt method + 0-hit-scoped-negative; SEAT-1 duplicate-profile flag carried.
+- **This draft adds (net-new receipts):** Cyberpunk TCG slug RESOLVED w/ exact-figure match (upgrades 2026 #1 to 1P); independent HeyGears 200 corroboration; AWOL in-file re-verify; eufyMake/Snapmaker guess-probes (scoped 404s); D6 register consolidated.
+- **🐳-R10 G2-evidence addendum (13:25:53Z) → folded pre-post:** all 4 wiki-only 2026 rows → 1P EXACT (zero D6 drift); creator-segment-not-validated instrument rule; CDX-discovery method; sub-day UTC-vs-local date convention. D6 register final for this gate: **2 LIVE-DRIFT** (Pongbot — archive governs · HeyGears — live governs) **+ 4 zero-drift exact** (Neon · Cyberpunk · XGIMI · AWOL).
+- **🐳-R12 G2-review (13:34:33Z) → folded at G3:** 2025 GAP CLOSED — After the End found via KS case study (HTTP 200 · 33,500 B) → 2025 now 10/10 first-party ($1,415,550 · 11,345 bk · goal $10,000 · 14,155.5% · closed 2025-09-24). % funded correction: eufyMake goal = $500,000 → 9,352% (not $10K → 467,622%); the "$10K goal" convention was correct only for After the End. Each row carries its own goal. Peak Design Roller Pro archived to archive 1P $13,408,553 / 24,219 / 2025-04-18 (live slug open) — relocated from §6 bogus `live_ankermake_*` citation. Alien RPG / First Law / Adventure Time / Book of Remembrance 2025 rows 6–10 receipts banked to §6.
+- **🐳-R13 G2-review (13:34:33Z) → folded at G3:** 2026 GAP CLOSED — five new entries (Game Changer · AEKE S1 Pro · xTool WonderPress · Lumos Ultra · Gweike MCore) close the 2026 list to 10/10 first-party. Game Changer epoch `state_changed_at 1780718400 = 2026-06-06T04:00Z` (§5 date corrected from "21 Aug 2026"). Gweike currency remains OPEN (Wayback 429 → cannot confirm CNY/USD; TCF $3.7M conflict +27% unresolved). v1.2 stage post `9576626e` (key `86a5620e`, OUTBOX/G1_DRAFT_v1.2 13,500 B `f295e075`) SUPERSEDED, not re-reviewed — artifact under review = this RESEARCH doc.
+- **🌾-G2 analytical fold (M1/M2) → folded at G3:** M1 — Hardware/manufacturing-surge category dominates both lists (6/10 in 2025: eufyMake · Snapmaker · Peak Design · Transformers · DCC · Book of Remembrance; 8/10 in 2026: Cyberpunk · AWOL · HeyGears · xTool · AEKE · Game Changer · Gweike · Pongbot). M2 — 2026 cohort skews newer (all 10 closers post-deadline ≤2026-09-11) vs 2025 (6/10 pre-June); 2026 median closer = 2026-06-04 vs 2025 median = 2025-05-24. Hardware manufacturing (3D printing · laser · UST projectors) commands 8–9 figure pledges at 9,000%+ funding multiples — the mega-campaign class is hardware-manufacturing-led.
+- **§6 receipt register — G3 complete:** expanded from 8 → 20 rows (all 2025 + all 2026) with explicit as-of instrument per row + D6-d6 instrument-sequencing per-row.
+- **MF-2 → folded at G3:** OKF `sources:` block added (frontmatter); `generated.at` = 2026-09-25T14:12Z declared; title/tags/status flipped G1 DRAFT → G3 FINAL (active).
+- **MF-1 → folded at G3:** §4 rebuilt as USD-ranked 10/10 1P (was bucketed ">$1M" with FLYBOY below-cut contamination in the pre-review working copy); below-cut note carries FLYBOY $174,436 · MST3K-class $463,973 · Assassin's Creed $371,376.57 GBP.
+- **MF-3 → folded at G3:** §2 instrument table + §9 state explicitly that stats.json `pledged` = NATIVE amount with NO currency field (Alien RPG 10× error class = the proof row); First Law currency G3-verified USD via campaign-page `project_currency` (kills the G1-era SEK parenthetical); Alien RPG fx trio completed (`static_usd_rate 0.09871473` · KS's own `usd_amount 2,369,771.12` governs).
+- **🐳-R11/R12/R13 → folded at G3:** §4 + §5 rebuilt per consolidated register (🐝 26405624 items 1–2); Pongbot → #11 (D6-drift pair kept); xTool/Lumos D2b blocks LIFTED (live governs); After the End row 9 with goal $10,000 → 14,155.5%; Game Changer date corrected to 2026-06-06 (§5 row aligned to §15 receipt).
+- **NEW G3 receipts (🛡️, 14:00–14:06Z):** (a) First Law `project_currency:"USD"` + goal 420,000 + percent 501 → currency CLOSED; (b) Alien RPG `project_currency:"SEK"` + `usd_amount 2369771.12` + `static_usd_rate 0.09871473` → fx trio CLOSED; (c) Gweike MCore Wayback `stats.json` capture `20260603062513` (state `live`, pledged 3,702,653 / 507 bk) → **TCF "$3.7M" conflict RESOLVED as mid-campaign drift** (507→636 backers grew lockstep to 4,706,118); the CURRENCY itself remains OPEN — native amount printed without `$` per D5.
+- **🟩-N1..N6 (0ca5fb5e, PASS) → folded at G3:** N3 currency discipline honored (Gweike `$` removed from §5 row 10); N4 % funded cells verified zero-inferred; N5 D2b lift executed with live-governs receipts; N6 roster-hygiene carried to §14 item 7.
+- **Working-copy lineage note (🐝 consolidated item 2):** the delivered G1 (sha `467ca29b…`) was superseded on disk by in-flight folds (`08d4efd0…` → `c02b0d30…` → this FINAL). The FINAL sha256 declared in the G3 post is computed from THIS file at post time — the only sha that matters.
+
+**Drift Gate audit (rN+1 ≥ rN):** G1 delivered 18,581 B / 177 L → G3 FINAL computed at post time (§15 additions + frontmatter sources additive; no row content removed — superseded readings marked RETIRED, kept in-line).

+### H1. Welcome (paste)
+
+We Own AI — The New American Dream is a field book for advisors who want to use AI in their practice in ways they control. It is written by [number — OWNER-PENDING] authors who use these methods in their own work, and published by BurnedOut Media / WeOwnNet.
+
+Each chapter explains an approach to a kind of professional work and then walks through workflows you can run yourself, with the safeguards set out before the steps. The same workflows are online at AiBook.fun, where we keep them up to date as the tools change.
+
+This campaign funds the first edition. You can back it in three ways, described below: the book, from the $19 eBook to a year of the AiBook.fun library at $47; an AOP.biz bundle to build your own AI setup yourself or with our team, from $1,000; or a seat at the Burned Out Advisor Retreat, 4 to 6 November 2026.
+
+Our goal is $5,000, and it funds the book and the AiBook.fun library. Kickstarter is all-or-nothing: if we reach the goal by [end date and time], backers are charged and we deliver the rewards. If we do not reach it, nobody is charged.
+
+### H2. The book and AiBook.fun (paste; replaces the old "The book" block)
+
+The book rewards are for people who want to learn Responsible Agentic AI from the book on their own schedule. They start with the eBook, and the $47 reward adds a year of the AiBook.fun library.
+
+**What AiBook.fun is.** AiBook.fun is the online home of the book's workflows. You read a chapter, then run a workflow's Try-it exercise with sample data. Each workflow shows its version and the date it was last updated.
+
+**How it stays current.** We update workflows as tools and models change, often weekly or monthly. Access costs $47 a year. Your Kickstarter pledge covers the first 12 months, starting within about 14 days of a successful campaign. After that you can choose to renew at aibook.fun.
+
+### H3. Rewards summary (for the story graphic 06b; the story editor has no tables)

+1. Back the project at the level that suits you.  
+2. Share it with two advisors who would use it.  
+3. Follow our progress at aibook.fun between now and delivery.
+
+---
+
+## I. Payment / Stripe (OWNER-ONLY checklist)
+
+- [ ] Raise funds as a business or individual (hard to change later)  
+- [ ] US legal entity name, address, and EIN exactly as on tax documents  
+- [ ] Representative (owner/executive) with government ID  
+- [ ] Every beneficial owner with 25% or more  
+- [ ] Website https://aibook.fun or short product description  
+- [ ] US checking account in the same legal name  
+- [ ] Backup Visa / Mastercard / Amex (not Discover)  
+- [ ] Stripe status = verified (allow multi-day lag). Nigeria is not a creator country.
+
+---
+
+## J. Submit-for-review checklist
+
+- [ ] Basics complete (title, subtitle, creator name, image, goal, fixed end date, location, category)  
+- [ ] Story complete (16 sections) including **Risks** + **Use of AI**  
+- [ ] Rewards: Tiers 1–3 priced; paperback (Tier 4, and Tier 8's paperback) costed or left out until costed  
+- [ ] Tiers 7 and 8 set to close **Tue 20 Oct 2026**; limits so Retreat seats cannot exceed 369  
+- [ ] Tier 8 has a real price (OWNER-PENDING) or is left out until it has one  
+- [ ] Bundle descriptions state the separate agreements; no recurring charge inside any reward  
+- [ ] Name the AOP.biz bundles lead on the page and in People  
+- [ ] No Academy tier at launch  
+- [ ] Every field checked against the public copy scrub list in the guide, Appendix C (plain factual sentences; no slogans; "Cloud" never on book tiers; no income claims)  
+- [ ] Payment verification started / completed  
+- [ ] Preferences: shipping via Pledge Manager (or rates at pledge)  
+- [ ] Funding tab shows $5,000  
+- [ ] Go/no-go Thu 1 Oct, 6:00 PM ET (11:00 PM WAT); if not approved, slip to **9 Oct → 11 Nov** and decide the Retreat/Growth plan  
+- [ ] Launch day: manually click **Launch project** at 6:00 AM ET (11:00 AM WAT)
+
+---
+
+## K. Still OWNER-PENDING / OWNER-ONLY
+
+1. Kickstarter login + entity country confirmation (Nigeria is not a creator country).  
+2. Stripe identity, tax, bank, card.  
+3. **Retreat price** (do not invent) and **Retreat venue** (conflict: GUIDE-436 TradeWinds Resort, St. Pete Beach vs retired "St. Pete" label).  
+4. Whether Growth-bundle Retreat seats count toward the 369, and each tier's limit.  
+5. **$200/mo WeOwn Cloud hosting start date**; what happens to a DIY instance if the backer does not sign up; DIY provisioning month.  
+6. Who delivers the AOP.biz bundles (named person/collaborator).  
+7. Bundle quantity limits; consequence of missing 50% cohort attendance; bundle refund terms.  
+8. Final paperback price, add-on prices, Collector's Bundle signers and limit, shipping countries.  
+9. Retreat inclusions, agenda, transfer/refund terms, CE credit; rule if the campaign does not fund.  
+10. Final author roster, headshots, cover confirmation, sample workflow URL, contact email.  
+11. Academy price, dates, seats, and delivery (for the later update).
+
+---
+
+## L. Next actions for Product Lead / owner
+
+1. Owner supplies the OWNER-PENDING items in K, starting with the Retreat price and venue, the bundle lead, and the DIY hosting start date.  
+2. Paste this pack and the guide's text into the Kickstarter **draft** on the verified account; create the 9 items, 8 tiers, and 3 add-ons.  
+3. Upload the story images from `story-images/` (see its README for order and alt text).  
+4. Submit for review by **Mon 28 Sep** at the latest; start or confirm Stripe verification now.

+# We Own AI: Kickstarter story images
+
+All graphics for the Story tab of the We Own AI — The New American Dream campaign, built from the v2.1 campaign guide (`ks-research/kickstarter-campaign-guide.md`, section 2.3 Story and Part 3.1 assets). AOP.biz bundle contents come from GUIDE-436 (`WeOwnAi/s004_fedarch/_GUIDES_/GUIDE-436.md`).
+
+**Updated 27 September 2026:** the rewards are now three sections: The book, Build it yourself or with us (AOP.biz bundles), and In person (the Burned Out Advisor Retreat). Sections 7 to 9 are now The book and AiBook.fun, Build it yourself or with us, and In person: the Retreat. The Academy is held out of launch, so its header, map, and site cards are no longer in the set (their source stays in `build.py` behind `ACADEMY_IN_LAUNCH = False`). New: `08b-bundle-comparison.png`. Changed: 06b, 06c, 11b (vertical timeline with the 20 October cutoff), 14b (AOP.biz bundles lead instead of Academy lead). Renamed without other changes: the AiBook.fun device mockup is now `07b` (was 09b).
+
+- Kickstarter shows story images about 680 px wide. Every file here is exported at 1360 px wide (2x) as PNG, well under 5 MB.
+- Workflow from the guide: add each section title as a Heading in the Story editor, insert that section's header image under it, paste the text, then add the section's other images where they fit.
+- **Book cover:** the cover is the one already designed for the landing page: the 3D book in `marketing-site/components/Book3D.jsx` (styles `.book3d*` in `marketing-site/styles/globals.css`, belly band `marketing-site/public/american-dream-banner.webp`). `src/render_cover.py` screenshots it exactly as it appears on https://aibook.fun, in its resting pose, and saves `src/assets-gen/cover-3d.png` (3D, transparent background) and `cover-flat.png` (front face only). Nothing about it was redesigned. **Note:** the landing cover reads "The Field Guide / Responsible Agentic AI / Tested workflows you can actually run / AiBook.fun" with an "American Dream" band. It does not say "We Own AI". If the campaign title should be on the cover, update Book3D.jsx first and re-render.
+- **Real screenshots:** 05b and 07b are screenshots of the live site (https://aibook.fun/read/recipe/RE-01 and https://aibook.fun/read/real-estate), taken by `src/render_screens.py`.
+- Style: the AiBook.fun field-guide system from `marketing-site/styles/globals.css` (paper `#fcfbf8`/`#f6f4ee`, pine `#1c5d4c`/`#12463a`, amber `#b4791f`; Fraunces, Hanken Grotesk, JetBrains Mono). The compass mark comes from `Book3D.jsx`. Emoji in headers use Noto Color Emoji and match the guide's section headings.
+- Everything was built as HTML/CSS and rendered with headless Chrome. **No AI-generated imagery is used.** For Kickstarter's Use of AI section: none of these images were made with AI image tools.
+- Files marked **PLACEHOLDER** have empty frames for photos (or names) the owner has to supply. Don't upload them until they've been re-rendered with the real files.
+
+`contact-sheet.png` shows every image in order.

+| Early reader photos, with written permission | 13b | At least 400 × 400, square |

+| Team headshots: @THY, @LFG, @CEO, @GTM, Osinachi Patrick, AOP.biz bundles lead | 14b | 800 × 800, square |
+
+## Waiting on owner decisions (re-render when settled)
+
+- **Cover title:** the landing cover says "Responsible Agentic AI", not "We Own AI" (see above).
+- **Chapter lead authors:** 04c follows the landing page's founding library. The landing page lists Higher Education and Communities co-authors as "To be announced".
+- **Public sample workflow:** 05b shows RE-01 as it is live on AiBook.fun. If a different workflow becomes the public sample, re-run `render_screens.py` with its URL and relink 05c.
+- **Paperback price:** 06b says "Price on the reward". Use 06c if the paperback is left out at launch.
+- **Retreat price and venue:** 06b shows "Price on the reward" and no venue; 09b has no venue name. GUIDE-436 names TradeWinds Resort, St. Pete Beach, but the Kickstarter pack retired the "St. Pete" label, so the venue waits for the owner.
+- **DIY hosting start date:** 06b and 08b give the $200 a month WeOwn Cloud hosting without a start date, on purpose.
+- **Academy (held out of launch):** it will be announced in a campaign update once dates and prices exist. The map and site-card source is kept in `build.py` (Academy section). To bring it back, set `ACADEMY_IN_LAUNCH = True`, give it story numbers, add a fourth column to `three_ways()` (the grid adjusts without a CSS change), add its timeline stop, and re-run.
+- **Retreat agenda:** the guide asks for a three-day agenda graphic "once the agenda exists". It doesn't exist yet, so that graphic has not been made.
+- **Names for the author and team cards, and approval to list Osinachi Patrick.**
+- **Tier names on the landing page:** `marketing-site/components/Tiers.jsx` still shows older tiers ($10 Supporter / $47 per year / Founding Sponsor). The story images follow the v2 campaign guide instead.
+
+## How to re-render
+
+```
+cd src
+python render_cover.py     # landing-page book cover from https://aibook.fun -> assets-gen/cover-3d.png, cover-flat.png
+python render_screens.py   # live screenshots for 05b and 07b from https://aibook.fun
+python build.py            # all story images -> ../ ; pass a regex to render a subset, e.g. python build.py '^06'
+python contact_sheet.py
+```
+
+Requires Python with `playwright` and `pillow`, a Chrome/Chromium binary (the path is set in the scripts; render_cover.py uses SwiftShader WebGL flags so the 3D faces sort correctly), and the Fraunces, Hanken Grotesk, JetBrains Mono, and Noto Color Emoji fonts installed. Text and data live at the top of each section in `build.py`: QUOTES, TEAM, CHAPTERS, STOPS, GOALS, BUNDLE_COLS, BUNDLE_ROWS, and so on. Photos go in `src/assets/` (see `src/assets/README.md`). `make_map.py` builds the US outline from public-domain US Census-derived state boundaries.
