|
||
**Working calendar (not locked):** Friday, October 2 – Wednesday, November 4, 2026 · 33 days

### How to read this document
|
||
|
||
| Label | Meaning |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| **Confirmed from source** | Present in the April 25, 2026 master plan PDF (21 renderable pages) or explicitly restated without change |
|
||
| **Recommended (consolidated)** | Strongest combined recommendation from the PDF + in-thread agent passes. Not a locked business fact |
|
||
| **SOT-cited** | Cited by multiple review seats from PRJ-031 / `RESEARCH/AIBOOK_PRJ031_LEARN_5017.md`. Treated as team source-of-truth *candidates*, not invented here, and not independently re-fetched in this pass |
|
||
| **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** | Missing, conflicting, or policy-sensitive. Do not put on the Kickstarter page until the owner decides |
|
||
| **DATE TO BE CONFIRMED** | Date depends on the launch-anchor decision |
|
||
|
||
Nothing in this blueprint invents prices, print costs, shipping costs, partnership commitments, manufacturing capacity, or a locked launch date.
|
||
|
||
**Kickstarter public-page rule (P0):** the live campaign page, video, and ads must not use NFT / token / Web3 language. Kickstarter rejects that class of copy. Original “NFT subscription” language is preserved only as a historical/internal offer question (Decision D5) and is translated on every public-facing section to **Digital Access Subscription / digital access key**.
|
||
|
||
**33-day convention:** Kickstarter runs **launch timestamp + 33 × 24 hours** (exclusive span). Friday Oct 2 → Wednesday Nov 4. Inclusive counting (start + 32 days) would wrongly land on Tuesday Nov 3. Do not “fix” this later.

## 1. Executive Summary
|
||
|
||
**We Own AI — The New American Dream** is a multi-author book campaign on Kickstarter, published under BurnedOut Media / WeOwnNet. The April 2026 master plan (LibreOffice 24.2, created 2026-04-25, 21 pages — the file’s internal `/Count 38` is stale metadata) set a **$5,000** goal, a **33-day** Friday→Wednesday window, **seven reward tiers**, and a content engine aimed at financial advisors and professionals on LinkedIn.
|
||
|
||
That original live window (**June 26 – July 29, 2026**) is past. This channel is tagged **{Oct-2026}**. An in-channel alternate (**Saturday, September 26, 2026**) exists on the AiBook.fun description and is **not** used as the working calendar: it is a Saturday (breaks the Friday protocol) and leaves ~5 days with no room for Kickstarter’s 5–7 business-day review.
|
||
|
||
**Working strategy (recommended, not locked):**
|
||
|
||
1. Treat the **$5,000** figure as the **public funding floor** so the campaign can fund fast and generate social proof. That philosophy is confirmed from the original plan.
|
||
2. Use a **Friday, October 2, 2026** launch and **Wednesday, November 4, 2026** close unless the owner picks another Friday. **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED (D1).**
|
||
3. Submit the Kickstarter page for review **immediately**. For an Oct 2 launch, submit-by is **Wednesday, September 23, 2026**. Sep 23 + 7 business days = **October 2 itself — zero slack.** If the page is not submitted by Sep 23, the working default becomes **Friday, October 9 – Wednesday, November 11**.
|
||
4. Keep the original 7-tier *shape* (digital → early-bird → paperback → collector → ongoing digital access → two retreats) but **do not publish NFT wording**, blank prices, or past-season retreat labels.
|
||
5. Measure success as **audience + proof**, not just cash: email list, backers, LinkedIn impressions, and a funded campaign that seeds later products.
|
||
|
||
**What this campaign is (confirmed):** a visibility and community engine for a book about AI ownership / the “new American dream,” aimed at advisors and professionals, built in public.
|
||
|
||
**What this campaign is not (until the owner says otherwise):** a Web3 mint, an NFT drop, or a locked $35K/$54K raise. Those figures appear only as SOT-cited options (Decision D2).
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 2. Campaign Vision
|
||
|
||
### 2.1 Mission (confirmed intent)
|
||
|
||
Build a public, fundable story around *We Own AI — The New American Dream* that:
|
||
|
||
- puts the book in front of financial advisors and professionals who feel burned out or displaced by AI;
|
||
- grows an owned email list of backers;
|
||
- establishes thought-leadership for WeOwnNet / BurnedOut Media;
|
||
- seeds later products, retreats, and an ongoing digital-access offer;
|
||
- funds at a deliberately achievable floor so social proof arrives early.
|
||
|
||
### 2.2 Campaign objective
|
||
|
||
| Layer | Objective | Source |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Minimum | Campaign funds at **$5,000** | Confirmed |
|
||
| Proof | Fund inside 48 hours; 100 backers | Confirmed targets |
|
||
| Community | 200+ new email subscribers | Confirmed target |
|
||
| Brand | LinkedIn as primary channel; #BuildInPublic narrative | Confirmed |
|
||
| After | Physical books + digital rewards fulfilled; retreats only if dates are real | Confirmed structure + owner call on seasons |
|
||
|
||
### 2.3 Value proposition (recommended)
|
||
|
||
**For** advisors and professionals who feel the ground moving under their practice,
|
||
**We Own AI** is a multi-author field book on owning AI as a new form of American agency — not renting it from someone else’s stack.
|
||
**Unlike** generic “AI will change everything” titles, this campaign is built in public by the people writing it, with a Kickstarter that is meant to fund, ship, and start a community — not to mint collectibles.
|
||
|
||
### 2.4 Positioning
|
||
|
||
- **Category:** non-fiction / professional book + community, not gadget hardware.
|
||
- **Tone:** candid, builder, anti-hype. Burnout is the pain; ownership is the promise.
|
||
- **Proof style:** #BuildInPublic process, multi-author voices, live campaign metrics.
|
||
- **Differentiation (recommended):** the campaign *is* the first chapter of the brand — advisors watch the team ship in public, then buy into the book and (optionally) the retreats.
|
||
|
||
### 2.5 What must not appear on the public page
|
||
|
||
- NFT, token, mint, Web3, crypto-gated access.
|
||
- Past seasons sold as current (“Colorado Summer 2026”).
|
||
- Placeholder “[TBD]” prices.
|
||
- A Saturday Sep 26 launch presented as locked.
|
||
- Invented stretch-goal dollar amounts.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 3. Target Audience
|
||
|
||
Confirmed from the original plan: **financial advisors and professionals**, reached primarily on **LinkedIn**, secondarily on **X/Twitter**.
|
||
|
||
### 3.1 Primary audience
|
||
|
||
| Attribute | Working definition |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Who | Practicing financial advisors, planners, and adjacent professionals |
|
||
| Problem | Burnout, feeling stuck, fear of being automated or disintermediated |
|
||
| Motivation | Practical path to use / own AI in the practice; status of being early without being reckless |
|
||
| Why Kickstarter | They fund people and ideas they can tell a story about; a low-friction digital pledge is an easy yes |
|
||
| Channel | LinkedIn (primary). BurnedOut Media cadence already designed for this feed |
|
||
|
||
### 3.2 Secondary audiences (recommended, from original extras)
|
||
|
||
- **Operators / builders** around WeOwnNet who already follow #BuildInPublic.
|
||
- **Retreat-curious** members who will only convert if **2027 (or contracted 2026) dates** are real.
|
||
- **Multi-author circle** (contributors Brian and Lou, plus @THY / @CEO networks) as Day-1 surge, not as the whole market.
|
||
|
||
### 3.3 Ideal backer
|
||
|
||
Someone who will (a) pledge a digital tier in the first 48 hours, (b) share the campaign to two other advisors, (c) join the email list, (d) still be a reader when the paperback ships in **February 2027** (recommended public delivery month — **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED, D15**).
|
||
|
||
### 3.4 Reasons they support
|
||
|
||
1. The pain copy is about *them* (burnout / stuck), not about the authors.
|
||
2. The goal looks achievable — they are not being asked to rescue a $100K gadget campaign.
|
||
3. Multi-author = more than one voice they might already know.
|
||
4. Digital reward is immediate-feeling; physical is a signed artifact.
|
||
5. Retreats are a high-ticket identity purchase **only if dates are future and specific**.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 4. Campaign Messaging
|
||
|
||
### 4.1 Core message (recommended)
|
||
|
||
**Own the intelligence that is about to own your industry.**
|
||
*We Own AI — The New American Dream.* A book, a public build, and a community for advisors who refuse to be rented their future.
|
||
|
||
### 4.2 Narrative arc
|
||
|
||
1. **The ground is moving.** Advisors feel it as burnout, not as a keynote.
|
||
2. **Renting AI is the old deal.** Tools without ownership recreate the same dependency.
|
||
3. **This book is the field guide.** Multi-author, built in public, written from the work.
|
||
4. **Kickstarter is how we ship it with you.** Low floor, real rewards, no vapor.
|
||
5. **After funding:** books, access, and (if the owner keeps them) retreats.
|
||
|
||
### 4.3 Selling points (from source, not invented features)
|
||
|
||
- Confirmed title and positioning: *We Own AI — The New American Dream*
|
||
- Multi-author format (pivot already in the April wireframe)
|
||
- #BuildInPublic process as content, not as decoration
|
||
- LinkedIn-native campaign (advisors already live there)
|
||
- Deliberately fundable $5K floor → social proof
|
||
- Physical signed book + digital formats
|
||
- Optional high-touch retreat tiers **if dates are real**
|
||
|
||
### 4.4 Proof points available vs missing
|
||
|
||
| Proof | Status |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Cover concepts / mockups (3 covers, 7 mockups marked approved in April) | Confirm still current |
|
||
| Team RACI and named contributors | Confirm roster (D10) |
|
||
| Live campaign metrics once launched | Generated in-campaign |
|
||
| Testimonials / advisor quotes | **Not in source** — do not invent. Collect during pre-launch or use process-proof instead |
|
||
| Print vendor, unit cost, ship quotes | **Not in source** |
|
||
|
||
### 4.5 Calls to action (hierarchy)
|
||
|
||
1. **Primary:** Back the campaign on Kickstarter (digital tier as default yes).
|
||
2. **Secondary:** Share + tag two advisors.
|
||
3. **Tertiary:** Join the email list (FluentCRM — **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** that it is live, D16).
|
||
4. **Do not CTA:** “mint,” “token,” “join the NFT.”
|
||
|
||
### 4.6 Messaging hierarchy for every asset
|
||
|
||
1. Pain (burnout / stuck)
|
||
2. Stakes (ownership vs rental)
|
||
3. Offer (book + how to back)
|
||
4. Proof (progress, people, process)
|
||
5. Urgency (only when true: early-bird remaining, hours left)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 5. Kickstarter Page Blueprint
|
||
|
||
Original wireframe: **8 blocks + 7 tiers**. Joe Pulizzi *Content Entrepreneur* page was the named benchmark (30 min research task). Below is the recommended public structure. Copy is directional, not final page prose.
|
||
|
||
### 5.1 Above the fold
|
||
|
||
- **Headline:** We Own AI — The New American Dream
|
||
- **Subhead:** A field book for advisors and professionals who want to own the AI era — not rent it.
|
||
- **Hero:** book mockup + (if ready) 2–3 min video. Image-only is an approved fallback.
|
||
- **Primary button:** Back this project
|
||
- **Trust strip:** 33 days · publishing under BurnedOut Media / WeOwnNet · estimated delivery **February 2027** for physical (**D15**)
|
||
|
||
### 5.2 Recommended section order
|
||
|
||
| # | Section | Purpose | Visual |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| 1 | Hook / who this is for | Advisor recognizes themselves in one screen | Pain-led graphic |
|
||
| 2 | The problem | Burnout, displacement, rented tools | Short bullets, not a lecture |
|
||
| 3 | The book | What it is, who wrote it, why now | Cover + 3 mockups |
|
||
| 4 | What’s inside | Chapter preview / excerpt (Post 4 content) | Excerpt card |
|
||
| 5 | The authors | @THY, @CEO, Brian, Lou | 4 headshot graphics (800×800) |
|
||
| 6 | Rewards | 7 tiers as **decided** — no TBD, no NFT words | 7 tier images 1200×628 |
|
||
| 7 | Stretch goals | Only published goals with real unlocks | 5 graphics if amounts locked |
|
||
| 8 | Timeline / delivery | Campaign → production → ship | Simple dated infographic |
|
||
| 9 | Risks & challenges | Honest: compressed runway, print/ship, retreat dates | Plain text (KS expects this) |
|
||
| 10 | FAQ | Delivery, shipping, digital access, refunds | Text |
|
||
| 11 | How to help besides backing | Share + tag 2 advisors | Share graphic |
|
||
| 12 | Final CTA | Restate the one action | Cover + button |
|
||
|
||
Legal pages: original plan clones **6 legal pages from pTokenAssets**. **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED (D11)** that this source is still correct.
|
||
|
||
### 5.3 Trust-building (recommended)
|
||
|
||
- Real names and roles; no anonymous “the team.”
|
||
- Show the April–September work as process proof (covers, mockups, wireframe) without pretending the June campaign happened.
|
||
- State Kickstarter’s all-or-nothing rule in one sentence.
|
||
- Do not claim retention, NFT scarcity, or token utility.
|
||
|
||
### 5.4 FAQ seeds (do not publish until answers are owned)
|
||
|
||
- When do digital vs physical rewards arrive?
|
||
- Do you ship internationally? **Not in source.**
|
||
- What is the ongoing digital access offer, in non-NFT language?
|
||
- What happens if a retreat date moves?
|
||
- How are refunds handled if Kickstarter funds / if a reward is delayed?
|
||
|
||
### 5.5 Public-language translation (mandatory)
|
||
|
||
| Internal / original | Public Kickstarter |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| NFT subscription model | Digital Access Subscription |
|
||
| NFT-gated content | Members-only digital library / digital access key |
|
||
| NFT model (checklist) | Ongoing digital access offer |
|
||
| eBookNFT | Never on the page (SOT-cited) |
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 6. Campaign Video Blueprint
|
||
|
||
### 6.1 Primary hero video
|
||
|
||
| Item | Value | Notes |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Length | 2–3 minutes | Confirmed from original inventory |
|
||
| Record | @THY | Confirmed |
|
||
| Edit | @LFG | Confirmed |
|
||
| Fallback | Image-only KS page | Confirmed mitigation; likelihood now **High** |
|
||
|
||
If footage is not in hand this week, **submit for Kickstarter review without the video.** Add it post-approval. Do not hold review for the hero.
|
||
|
||
### 6.2 Recommended storyline (creative direction, not a locked script)
|
||
|
||
| Time | Beat |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| 0:00–0:12 | Hook: an advisor’s real sentence about burnout / “AI is coming for my book of business.” Face to camera. |
|
||
| 0:12–0:35 | Problem: rented tools, hype fatigue, no ownership. |
|
||
| 0:35–1:10 | The book: title, who it’s for, multi-author, flip through mockups. |
|
||
| 1:10–1:40 | Founders / why Kickstarter / built in public. |
|
||
| 1:40–2:10 | Rewards in human language (ebook, signed book, access, retreats **if in scope**). No NFT words. |
|
||
| 2:10–2:30 | CTA: back today, share with two advisors, we ship. |
|
||
|
||
### 6.3 Supporting videos (confirmed inventory)
|
||
|
||
| Video | When (working calendar) | Length |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| 15–30s ad cut from hero | Ads week (Oct 9–15 if Oct 2 launch) | 15–30 sec |
|
||
| 3–5 Live Q&A clips | Mid-campaign | 30–60 sec |
|
||
| Signing-day clip | Fulfillment | 30–60 sec |
|
||
|
||
### 6.4 Additional video ideas (Idea Bank — not in the original four)
|
||
|
||
HeyGen / presenter cuts already exist in adjacent WeOwnNet work. **Do not commit them as Kickstarter assets** unless the owner pulls them in. They are preserved in §21.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 7. Funding Strategy
|
||
|
||
### 7.1 Confirmed logic
|
||
|
||
The **$5,000** goal is intentionally low so the campaign funds quickly. Money is not the primary win; **visibility, list, and proof** are. Week-1 goal in the original: **FUNDED + 200 backers**.
|
||
|
||
### 7.2 Two ladders in the record — do not blend silently
|
||
|
||
| Ladder | Amounts | Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Original master plan | Public goal **$5,000** · stretch target in metrics **$15,000+** | Confirmed in PDF |
|
||
| SOT-cited PRJ-031 | **$5K minimum / $35K target / $54K stretch** | SOT-cited · **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED (D2)** |
|
||
|
||
**Recommended handling:** keep **$5,000** as the Kickstarter *goal* (the number that unlocks funding). If the owner adopts the SOT ladder, publish **$35K / $54K as stretch goals**, not as the KS goal. Raising the KS goal to $35K without a proven pre-launch list is how book campaigns miss. That is a recommendation, not a fact.
|
||
|
||
### 7.3 Duration
|
||
|
||
33 days, Friday launch, Wednesday close. Working: **Oct 2 – Nov 4, 2026**. Alternate recorded: Sep 26 – Oct 29 (not recommended). Slip: **Oct 9 – Nov 11**.
|
||
|
||
### 7.4 Early momentum
|
||
|
||
- Personal networks of @THY, @LFG, @CEO, @GTM, Brian, Lou on Day 1.
|
||
- Catch-up burst of the three missed hype posts (announcement / cover / who it’s for) before “TOMORROW.”
|
||
- Pre-made FUNDED graphic so the screenshot exists the minute $5K hits.
|
||
- Do not start paid ads until organic proof exists (original: ads week = week after launch).
|
||
|
||
### 7.5 Launch targets (confirmed unless owner refreshes — Decision D8)
|
||
|
||
| Metric | Target | Stretch |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Raised | $5,000 | $15,000+ *(or SOT $35K/$54K if adopted)* |
|
||
| Backers | 100 | 300+ |
|
||
| Time to fund | 48 hours | 24 hours |
|
||
| Email | +200 | +500 |
|
||
| LinkedIn impressions | 50,000 | 150,000+ |
|
||
| Retreat backers | 5 | 15+ |
|
||
|
||
MiMo flagged that a compressed 11-day runway may warrant a metrics refresh. **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED (D8)** to keep or revise.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 8. Rewards & Pricing
|
||
|
||
Seven-tier **structure** is confirmed. **Every price is unconfirmed.** SOT cites **$47/year annual digital** as a known value that *could* inform the digital / access tiers. It is **not** written onto the page here.
|
||
|
||
### 8.1 Tier structure (public names)
|
||
|
||
| Tier | Public name | Includes (from source) | Limit in source | Price |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| 1 | Digital Supporter | eBook (PDF + Kindle) + backer updates | TBD | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** |
|
||
| 2 | Early Bird eBook | eBook at a discount | **200** (confirmed limit) | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** |
|
||
| 3 | Paperback | Signed paperback + eBook | TBD | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** |
|
||
| 4 | Collector’s Bundle | Signed paperback + eBook + exclusive extras | TBD | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** |
|
||
| 5 | Digital Access Subscription | Ongoing members-only digital access + all digital rewards | TBD | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** · map to $47/yr if owner adopts SOT |
|
||
| 6 | Retreat: Colorado | Retreat ticket + signed book + all digital | TBD | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** · season/year **D6** |
|
||
| 7 | Retreat: St. Pete | Retreat ticket + signed book + all digital | TBD | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** · season/year **D7** |
|
||
|
||
**Do not** title Tier 5 “NFT Subscription” on Kickstarter.
|
||
|
||
### 8.2 Early-bird logic (confirmed)
|
||
|
||
Cap of **200** on the discounted eBook. Pre-make the “Early Bird SOLD OUT” graphic.
|
||
|
||
### 8.3 Pricing logic (recommended, not numbers)
|
||
|
||
- Digital yes-price should feel impulse-level for an advisor.
|
||
- Early-bird only works if the discount vs Tier 1 is real and the 200 cap is visible.
|
||
- Paperback must cover print + sign + pack + ship + Kickstarter fees, or the tier loses money. **Unit costs are not in source — do not guess.**
|
||
- Retreats should not be listed until dates exist; a retreat with no date is a policy and trust problem.
|
||
|
||
### 8.4 Bundles / extras
|
||
|
||
“Exclusive extras” on Tier 4 are unnamed in source. **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED (D17)** — possible extras (Idea Bank only): bonus PDF, annotated chapter, workshop recording, signed bookplate. Do not publish extras that are not producible.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 9. Stretch Goals
|
||
|
||
Five stretch-goal graphics are planned. Amounts and unlocks are placeholders in the PDF.
|
||
|
||
### 9.1 Recommended structure (owner must lock amounts)
|
||
|
||
Publish stretches only after D2:
|
||
|
||
| Order | If owner keeps PDF metrics | If owner adopts SOT ladder | Unlock ideas already in source |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| 1 | First step above $5K | Toward $35K | Bonus chapter |
|
||
| 2 | Mid | $35K target | Audiobook sample |
|
||
| 3 | — | Between $35K and $54K | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** |
|
||
| 4 | — | $54K stretch | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** |
|
||
| 5 | $15K+ stretch in original metrics | Beyond $54K or community unlock | **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** |
|
||
|
||
### 9.2 Rule for stretches
|
||
|
||
Each unlock must **not** add fulfillment risk the team cannot staff. Prefer digital unlocks (extra chapter, worksheet, live Q&A replay) over extra physical SKUs. Physical add-ons during a first book campaign are how ship dates slip.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 10. Pre-Launch Strategy
|
||
|
||
Remaining runway from Sep 21 is **11 days** to Oct 2, or **5 days** to Sep 26 (not recommended), or **18 days** to Oct 9 if review slips.
|
||
|
||
### 10.1 Kickstarter pre-launch activity
|
||
|
||
1. Finish page copy + images enough to **submit for review**.
|
||
2. Submit **Wed Sep 23** at latest for Oct 2.
|
||
3. Use Kickstarter pre-launch / “Notify me” only if the page is actually submitted — otherwise it is theater.
|
||
|
||
### 10.2 Landing pages & email
|
||
|
||
- Campaign site in the PDF: **burnedoutadvisor.com**. Candidates from review seats: **aibook.fun** (auto-renew confirmed in-thread; expiry flag CLOSED) and **weown.academy**. **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED (D4).**
|
||
- FluentCRM + Stripe: @GTM. Needed for list capture. Due on working calendar **Sep 25**.
|
||
- Blog: WordPress `/blog`, Yoast/RankMath, About + Contact pages, 4 author profiles.
|
||
|
||
### 10.3 Six hype posts (offsets confirmed; dates assume Oct 2)
|
||
|
||
| # | Theme | Offset | Working date | Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| 1 | “We’re writing a book.” | Day −21 | Fri Sep 11 | **Past** — catch-up burst if unpublished |
|
||
| 2 | Cover reveal | Day −16 | Wed Sep 16 | **Past** — catch-up |
|
||
| 3 | “Who this book is for” | Day −12 | Sun Sep 20 | **Past** — catch-up |
|
||
| 4 | Chapter preview | Day −8 | **Thu Sep 24** | Still ahead |
|
||
| 5 | “Why Kickstarter” | Day −4 | **Mon Sep 28** | Still ahead |
|
||
| 6 | “TOMORROW” | Day −1 | **Thu Oct 1** | Still ahead |
|
||
|
||
Do not skip 1–3 and jump to “TOMORROW.”
|
||
|
||
### 10.4 Community / creators / PR / paid (pre-launch)
|
||
|
||
- Original paid plan starts **after** launch (week 2). Do not spend pre-launch budget that is not in the source.
|
||
- Podcast/blog outreach sits with @CEO in the RACI — **no named outlets in source.** Do not invent a media list.
|
||
- Influencer plan: not specified beyond “share + tag 2 advisors” and personal networks. That *is* the creator strategy until the owner adds names.
|
||
|
||
### 10.5 Testing
|
||
|
||
- Test every KS link, image, and (if present) video before launch week.
|
||
- Test ad account with a small budget **before** ads week (@CEO, due Oct 8 on working calendar).
|
||
- Rehearse the 3:05 AM PST LinkedIn fire **or change the protocol (D12).**
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 11. Launch-Day Strategy
|
||
|
||
Assume working launch **Friday, October 2, 2026**. Shift the clock, not the sequence, if D1 changes.
|
||
|
||
### 11.1 First 24 hours (confirmed protocol)
|
||
|
||
| Time (PST) | Action |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| 3:00 AM | Wake. War mode. **D12 if this is not real.** |
|
||
| 3:05 AM | LinkedIn launch post LIVE (6:05 AM EST) |
|
||
| 5:00 AM | X/Twitter launch post LIVE (8:00 AM EST) |
|
||
| 6:00 AM | Reply to everything within 1 hour |
|
||
| 9:00 AM | “X% funded in Y hours” graphic + post |
|
||
| 12:00 PM | Reply every comment on the launch post |
|
||
| 3:00 PM | Second progress post |
|
||
| 6:00 PM | Backer milestone graphic if earned |
|
||
| 9:00 PM | Day 1 recap |
|
||
|
||
Week-1 goal: **$5,000 funded + 200 backers.** Reply within 2 hours thereafter. DM thank-you to every backer who shares publicly. Post FUNDED the minute it is true.
|
||
|
||
### 11.2 First 48–72 hours
|
||
|
||
- Backer Update 1 (Day 2–3): thank you, Day 1 stats, what’s next.
|
||
- Keep LinkedIn + 3–5 X posts/day.
|
||
- Do not turn on the full ad set until organic proof exists (original: ads week = following week).
|
||
- If funding is slow despite the low goal: activate remaining personal networks before spending.
|
||
|
||
### 11.3 First week (Fri Oct 2 – Thu Oct 8)
|
||
|
||
- Daily milestone graphics (25 / 50 / 75 / 100%).
|
||
- Behind-the-scenes LinkedIn.
|
||
- Protect @LFG rest window if the compressed runway is already eating the operator.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 12. Campaign Marketing Plan
|
||
|
||
One coordinated engine. LinkedIn is the spine.
|
||
|
||
### 12.1 Organic social
|
||
|
||
- **LinkedIn / BurnedOut Media:** 10 posts/week through close (original cadence).
|
||
- **Campaign LinkedIn:** daily + extras during the 33 days.
|
||
- **X:** 3–5/day, adapted from LinkedIn, not raw dumps.
|
||
- Mid-campaign: “Share + tag 2 advisors.”
|
||
- Mid-campaign: Live Q&A with @THY (LinkedIn Live or Zoom, 30 min + 30 min prep), then 3–5 clips.
|
||
|
||
### 12.2 Email
|
||
|
||
FluentCRM. Backer updates on Kickstarter are **not** a substitute for an owned list. Eight backer-update slots are in §15/§20.
|
||
|
||
### 12.3 Paid
|
||
|
||
| Item | Plan |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| When | Week after launch (working **Oct 9–15**) |
|
||
| Creative | 3 angles × 2 sizes: Pain, Solution, Social Proof |
|
||
| Sizes | 1200×628 and 1080×1080 |
|
||
| Platforms | LinkedIn + Meta |
|
||
| Video | 15–30s cut from hero |
|
||
| Owner | @CEO strategy / campaign manager; @LFG creative |
|
||
| Budget | **Not in source — OWNER DECISION REQUIRED (D18)** |
|
||
|
||
### 12.4 PR / creators / partnerships / communities
|
||
|
||
Source gives **podcast/blog outreach** as a @CEO workstream with no outlet list. Recommended: start with contributors’ own audiences and advisor groups the team already belongs to. Do not cold-pitch a fabricated journalist list.
|
||
|
||
### 12.5 Retargeting
|
||
|
||
Not specified in the PDF. Logical extension of Meta/LinkedIn ads **only if** D18 includes budget and pixels exist. Otherwise skip.
|
||
|
||
### 12.6 Campaign updates (confirmed slots, Oct 2 calendar)
|
||
|
||
| Update | Timing | Content |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| 1 Thank you | Oct 3–4 | Day 1 stats |
|
||
| 2 Progress | Oct 8–11 | Proof + quotes |
|
||
| 3 Stretch | When unlocked | Unlock + next tease |
|
||
| 4 Mid | Oct 16–19 | BTS, writing, team |
|
||
| 5 Final push | Oct 29–31 | Hours, not hype |
|
||
| 6 Close | Nov 4–5 | Stats + what next |
|
||
| 7 Production | Dec 2026 – early Jan 2027 | Layout progress |
|
||
| 8 Shipping | late Jan 2027 | Tracking |
|
||
|
||
### 12.7 Final countdown (working close Nov 4)
|
||
|
||
| Milestone | Date | Notes |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| 48 hours left | **Mon Nov 2** | 3:00 AM graphic + noon update |
|
||
| 24 hours left | **Tue Nov 3** | 6:00 PM |
|
||
| Final day | **Wed Nov 4** | 3:00 AM, every 2–3 hours, 6:00 PM “3 hours,” 9:00 PM “1 hour” |
|
||
| Close | Nov 4 at **launch hour + 33 days** | Not automatically 11:59 PM |
|
||
| Celebration | **Thu Nov 5** morning | Thank-you + stats |
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 13. Content & Creative Plan
|
||
|
||
### 13.1 Graphics (~60+ confirmed)
|
||
|
||
Finish unfinished items in Remaining Prep. Sizes stay as original.
|
||
|
||
Priority for review-submit (this week): cover, mockups, 7 tier images, page headers, author headshots. Stretch-goal graphics can follow **if amounts are locked**; do not upload “TBD” stretch tiles.
|
||
|
||
### 13.2 Video — see §6
|
||
|
||
### 13.3 Social / ads / email / landing
|
||
|
||
- 6 pre-launch images (catch-up + remaining).
|
||
- Launch day, FUNDED, 4 milestone %, 10 countdown, 48/24/final, thank-you, stats, what-next, share+tag, early-bird sold out, 5 stretch unlocks, 2 retreat graphics.
|
||
- 6 ad images.
|
||
- Blog ~1/week through close.
|
||
- Legal pages, About, Contact, author profiles.
|
||
|
||
### 13.4 Asset production rule
|
||
|
||
Batch remaining graphics in 48-hour blocks (burnout mitigation). Do not open new creative concepts that are not on this list unless D19 (scope) says so.
|
||

||
|

|
||
| Final push | **Oct 23 – Nov 4** | Daily countdown |

|
||
| Post-campaign comms | **Nov 5–6** | Recap + what-next |

|
||
|
||
## 15. Operations & Fulfillment
|
||
|
||
### 15.1 Production
|
||
|
||
Original offsets from launch: Day 85 interior layout, Day 90 eBook format, Day 105 signing, Day 110 shipped graphic. From Oct 2 those literals are **Dec 25 / Dec 30 / Jan 14 / Jan 19**. Christmas is unusable.
|
||
|
||
**Working production targets (holiday-adjusted):**
|
||
|
||
| Deliverable | Literal offset | Working target |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Recap graphic | Day 34 = close day | **Thu Nov 5** |
|
||
| What-happens-next | Day 35 | **Fri Nov 6** |
|
||
| Interior layout | Day 85 = Christmas | **Fri Jan 8, 2027** |
|
||
| eBook Kindle + PDF | Day 90 | **Fri Jan 15, 2027** |
|
||
| Signing content | Day 105 | **Fri Jan 22, 2027** |
|
||
| Books-shipped graphic | Day 110 | **Fri Jan 29, 2027** |
|
||
|
||
Print vendor, bindery, inventory, and postage **are not in the source.** Do not promise a ship method you have not bought.
|
||
|
||
### 15.2 Customer communication
|
||
|
||
Eight backer updates (§12.6). Reply-to-everything rule during the live campaign. Post-campaign cadence drops to 3–5 hrs/week.
|
||
|
||
### 15.3 Contingency
|
||
|
||
- Image-only page if video is late.
|
||
- Slip launch if KS review is open on launch morning (**D14**).
|
||
- Digital rewards can ship before paperbacks. State that on the page.
|
||
- Retreats: drop from the live page rather than sell a past season.
|
||
|
||
### 15.4 Connectivity / ops note
|
||
|
||
StarLink +50GB priority data at Orlando Azur Resorts was logged in-thread as infrastructure for on-site execution. It is **not** campaign copy.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 16. Budget & Financial Planning
|
||
|
||
**Almost every dollar figure below $5,000 / $15,000+ is missing from source.** This section is a ledger of *categories*, not a fake budget.
|
||
|
||
### 16.1 Known or source-stated
|
||
|
||
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Kickstarter goal | $5,000 | Confirmed floor |
|
||
| Metrics stretch | $15,000+ | Confirmed as a *metric*, not a KS goal |
|
||
| SOT target / stretch | $35,000 / $54,000 | SOT-cited only |
|
||
| Digital annual (SOT) | $47/yr | SOT-cited only |
|
||
| Team hours | 200–250 hrs | Confirmed estimate |
|
||
| Remaining prep this week | 18–24 hrs | Compressed |
|
||
| Launch week | 25–30 hrs | Confirmed |
|
||
|
||
### 16.2 Must be costed before launch (all **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED**)
|
||
|
||
| Category | Why it matters |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Kickstarter + payment processing fees | Net ≠ goal |
|
||
| Print unit cost × expected paperbacks | Tier 3/4 can lose money |
|
||
| Shipping + mailers + signing logistics | Drives delivery month |
|
||
| Ad spend (LinkedIn + Meta) | D18 |
|
||
| Software (FluentCRM, Canva, SEO plugin) | May already be paid — not in PDF |
|
||
| Retreat COGS | Do not sell below cost |
|
||
| Contingency reserve | Recommended: do not spend the whole $5K on ads |
|
||
|
||
**Do not** put a made-up fee percentage or print quote on the page.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 17. Risks & Contingency Planning
|
||
|
||
Likelihoods updated for an 11-day remaining runway.
|
||
|
||
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| KS review still open on launch day | **High** | High | Submit Sep 23; **slip rather than launch unapproved (D14)** |
|
||
| Hero video missing | **High** | High | Image-only fallback; add video later |
|
||
| NFT/Web3 language in the page | **High if unfixed** | High (rejection) | Translate all four original references before submit |
|
||
| Blank prices / past retreat seasons on the page | **High if unfixed** | High | Lock D5–D7 and prices or remove those tiers |
|
||
| @LFG burnout | **High** | High | Batch graphics; one rest window before launch week |
|
||
| Cover not approved | Medium | High | Three options, hard deadline **Wed Sep 23** |
|
||
| Slow Day-1 funding | Low (given $5K) | Medium | Personal networks first |
|
||
| Ad account not ready | Low | Medium | Setup before Oct 8; tiny test |
|
||
| Contributor bios/headshots late | Medium | Low | Deadline **Sep 25** |
|
||
| Holiday collision on production | High if using raw Day 85 | Medium | Use January/February 2027 |
|
||
| Selling a past retreat | High if unfixed | High | 2027 or drop |
|
||
| Domain confusion | Medium | Medium | Pick one public URL (D4). aibook.fun expiry is **closed** (auto-renew) |
|
||
| Inflating KS goal to $35K with no list | Medium if D2 goes that way | High | Keep $5K as the KS goal; put $35K/$54K on stretches |
|
||
| Sep 26 Saturday launch | High if chosen | High | Breaks Friday protocol; no review slack |
|

## 18. Roles & Responsibilities
|
||
|
||
Assignments below are **from the April PDF RACI**. Confirm the roster still holds (**D10**). No new names added.
|

### 18.3 AI / agent lane (this thread — coordination, not KS-page credits)
|
||
|
||
Agents produced revision, verification, and this blueprint. They are **not** Kickstarter “creators” unless the owner says so. Nemotron / similar TRAINS-on-DATA seats were flagged to stay structural-only around pricing placeholders.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 19. Campaign KPI Dashboard
|
||
|
||
Monitor before and during. Do not invent baselines that were not measured.
|
||
|
||
### 19.1 Pre-launch
|
||
|
||
| KPI | Why | Source target |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| KS page submitted (Y/N) + review status | Critical path | Submit Sep 23 |
|
||
| Email subscribers | Owned audience | +200 / +500 during campaign |
|
||
| Hype posts 1–6 shipped (Y/N) | Catch-up vs hole | 6 |
|
||
| Cover approved (Y/N) | Blocks page | Sep 23 |
|
||
| Hero video or fallback chosen | Blocks quality, not review | This week |
|
||
|
||
Cost-per-lead, conversion rate, and ad CAC are **not in source**. Track them once ads run; do not publish fake benchmarks.
|
||
|
||
### 19.2 Live campaign
|
||
|
||
| KPI | Target | Stretch |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Funding % vs $5K | 100% in 48h | 24h |
|
||
| Total raised | $5,000 | $15K+ or SOT ladder |
|
||
| Backers | 100 | 300+ |
|
||
| Average pledge | *derive, don’t invent* | — |
|
||
| KS visits | *not in source* | track in KS dashboard |
|
||
| LinkedIn impressions | 50,000 | 150,000+ |
|
||
| Blog posts | 8 | 12 |
|
||
| Retreat backers | 5 | 15+ |
|
||
| Comment reply time | <2 hours | <1 hour on launch day |
|
||
|
||
### 19.3 Ads (if D18 funds them)
|
||
|
||
Spend, CTR, CPC, CPA, and which of the 3 angles wins. Kill the loser after a small test; do not “complete the plan.”
|
||
|

|
||

||
## 20. Master Action Plan

## 21. IDEA BANK
|
||
|
||
Valuable ideas that are **not** in the primary path, or were proposed by one seat, or would add scope. Kept so they are not silently deleted.
|
||
|
||
| Idea | Origin | Why it is not primary | When to pull it in |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Public KS goal = $35K / stretch $54K | SOT-cited PRJ-031 | Conflicts with confirmed $5K floor philosophy | Only if D2 chooses the SOT ladder **and** pre-launch list supports it |
|
||
| $47/yr as the named Digital Access price | SOT-cited | Not in the PDF; would invent if published without D3 | If owner adopts |
|
||
| weown.academy as campaign URL | 🌾 MiMo | Third candidate after burnedoutadvisor.com and aibook.fun | D4 |
|
||
| Refresh impression/backer targets for 11-day runway | 🌾 MiMo | Original 100 / 50K / $15K+ still usable | D8 |
|
||
| HeyGen presenter videos as KS supporting films | Adjacent WeOwnNet packages in OUTBOX | Not in the 4-video inventory | If hero cannot be recorded |
|
||
| Joe Pulizzi page as literal clone structure | Original W11 task | Benchmark, not a second book | Optional 30-min study still useful |
|
||
| Inclusive 33-day close (Nov 3) | KIMI arithmetic note | KS exclusive clock is the one that charges | Never — document the convention instead |
|
||
| Keep “NFT” internally for a later non-KS product | Original Tier 5 | KS-banned on the live page | After campaign, off-platform, if legal |
|
||
| Fall 2026 St. Pete if already contracted | Original Tier 7 | Tight vs Oct campaign | Only with a real contract date |
|
||
| Paid retargeting / pixel | Extension of ads plan | No budget in source | D18 |
|
||
| International shipping matrix | Common KS need | Not in source | Before paperback launch, with real quotes |
|
||
| Named journalist / podcast list | @CEO workstream | No names in source | Owner-supplied only |
|
||
| Credit AI agents on the KS page | This thread | Not requested; can look gimmicky | Owner call |
|
||
| Image-only forever (no hero) | Risk table | Weaker than a 2-min founder video | If @THY cannot record |
|
||
| 3 AM PST as a brand ritual | Original protocol | Operator-health risk | D12 |
|
||

|
||
## 22. OWNER DECISIONS REQUIRED
|
||
|
||
Every unresolved decision in one place. Campaign page should not go to Kickstarter review until **D1, D4, D5 (language), prices, and retreat keep/drop** are answered. Others can follow but will show up as holes.
|
||
|
||
### D1 — Launch date
|
||
- **Options:** (A) Fri Oct 2 – Wed Nov 4 *(working)* (B) Fri Oct 9 – Wed Nov 11 *(slip if review not in)* (C) Sat Sep 26 – Thu Oct 29 *(in-channel; not recommended)* (D) another Friday the owner names.
|
||
- **Why it matters:** every date in this document hangs on it. Sep 26 has no review slack and breaks Friday protocol.
|
||
- **Need:** a single yes.
|
||
- **Depends:** §§10–15, 20.
|
||
|
||
### D2 — Funding stack
|
||
- **Options:** (A) KS goal $5K, metric stretch $15K+ *(PDF)* (B) KS goal $5K, published stretches $35K / $54K *(SOT on top of PDF)* (C) raise the KS goal itself to $35K *(not recommended without list proof)*.
|
||
- **Why:** the number on the button vs the numbers on the stretch bar.
|
||
- **Need:** which ladder is public.
|
||
- **Depends:** §§7, 9, 19.
|
||
|
||
### D3 — Digital / access pricing
|
||
- **Options:** leave TBD (blocks review) · adopt SOT **$47/yr** for Digital Access · owner-supplied prices for Tiers 1–5.
|
||
- **Why:** Kickstarter rejects hollow rewards.
|
||
- **Need:** dollar amounts and whether $47/yr is the access tier.
|
||
- **Depends:** §§8, 16.
|
||
|
||
### D4 — Public brand URL
|
||
- **Options:** burnedoutadvisor.com *(PDF)* · aibook.fun *(SOT; auto-renew closed the expiry flag)* · weown.academy *(MiMo)*.
|
||
- **Why:** every CTA and legal page points somewhere.
|
||
- **Need:** one URL.
|
||
- **Depends:** §§5, 10, 12.
|
||
|
||
### D5 — Tier 5 scope
|
||
- **Options:** (A) keep the offer, public name **Digital Access Subscription** (B) drop the tier (C) replace with something owner-defined.
|
||
- **Why:** original was “NFT subscription”; KS will reject that language even if the offer stays.
|
||
- **Need:** in or out, plus public name.
|
||
- **Depends:** §§5, 8, 17.
|
||
|
||
### D6 — Colorado retreat
|
||
- **Options:** Summer 2027 · drop · a specific contracted date.
|
||
- **Why:** “Colorado Summer” 2026 is past.
|
||
- **Depends:** Tiers, graphics, KPIs.
|
||
|
||
### D7 — St. Pete retreat
|
||
- **Options:** Fall 2026 if contracted · Fall 2027 · drop.
|
||
- **Why:** same as D6; Fall 2026 is tight against an Oct campaign + Feb book delivery.
|
||
- **Depends:** Tiers, graphics, KPIs.
|
||
|
||
### D8 — Success metrics
|
||
- **Options:** keep 100 backers / 50K impressions / $15K+ · refresh for compressed runway.
|
||
- **Depends:** §19.
|
||
|
||
### D9 — Season tag
|
||
- **Options:** #WeOwnSeason005 *(working, matches Oct-2026 / S005)* · remain on 004 · other.
|
||
- **Depends:** headers, social.
|
||
|
||
### D10 — Roster
|
||
- **Options:** confirm @THY / @LFG / @CEO / @GTM / Brian / Lou · update names.
|
||
- **Depends:** KS authors block, RACI, headshots.
|
||
|
||
### D11 — Legal page source
|
||
- **Options:** still clone 6 pages from pTokenAssets · other counsel/source.
|
||
- **Depends:** KS compliance.
|
||
|
||
### D12 — 3:00 AM PST launch protocol
|
||
- **Options:** keep · shift to a later first-post time with a named operator.
|
||
- **Depends:** §11.
|
||
|
||
### D13 — Holiday-adjusted production dates
|
||
- **Options:** accept Jan 8 / 15 / 22 / 29, 2027 · owner-supplied dates.
|
||
- **Depends:** §15.
|
||
|
||
### D14 — Slip rule
|
||
- **Options:** if review is open on launch morning, **slip to next Friday** *(recommended)* · launch anyway *(not recommended)*.
|
||
- **Depends:** D1, review gate.
|
||
|
||
### D15 — Public estimated delivery
|
||
- **Options:** **February 2027** for physical *(recommended)* · other month the owner can actually hit.
|
||
- **Depends:** KS page, backer trust.
|
||
|
||
### D16 — KS account + Stripe + FluentCRM actually exist
|
||
- **Options:** confirm live · name the blocker.
|
||
- **Depends:** submit, email, checkout.
|
||
|
||
### D17 — Collector “exclusive extras”
|
||
- **Options:** name producible extras · drop “exclusive extras” until named.
|
||
- **Depends:** Tier 4.
|
||
|
||
### D18 — Paid budget
|
||
- **Options:** $0 until organic · owner-set cap for Oct 9–15.
|
||
- **Depends:** §§12.3, 16, 19.3.
|
||
|
||
### D19 — Scope freeze
|
||
- **Options:** this blueprint’s asset list is the list · owner adds HeyGen / extra SKUs.
|
||
- **Depends:** burnout risk, §13.
|
||
|
||
### D20 — Book delivery date printed on the KS page
|
||
- Overlaps D15; original dependency #4 owned by @THY.

## 23. AGENT CONTRIBUTION MAP
|
||
|
||
Honesty about inputs: this thread did **not** contain nine independent full campaign *plans*. It contained **one original master plan (PDF)**, **one full date-revision**, and **multiple independent verification / strategy passes**. Unique ideas from each are mapped below so nothing is silently credited or dropped.
|
||
|
||
| Source | What it contributed to this blueprint |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| **Original PDF** (Apr 25, 2026 · 21 pages · LibreOffice 24.2) | Title, $5K philosophy, 33-day Fri→Wed shape, 7 tiers, 5 stretch slots, RACI, 8-block wireframe, 6 hype posts, 3 ad angles, 60+ graphics, 4 videos, 305-piece cadence, launch-day clock, 8 backer updates, Pulizzi benchmark, pTokenAssets legal clone, Joe-Friday 6:05/8:00 EST, 200 early-bird cap |
|
||
| **🚀 LFG-Grok revision** (`84bcde9e` · OUTBOX Oct-2026 plan) | Recast to Oct 2–Nov 4; season 005; phase collapse; holiday-shifted fulfillment; catch-up posts; raised review/video/burnout likelihoods; 16 confirmation flags; exclusive 33-day close; Sep 26 recorded but unused |
|
||
| **🛡️ GTM-GLM** (orchestrate + fold-list) | 4 NFT hits not 3; F1–F8 fold list; 21-page correction vs “38”; zero-slack review math; aibook.fun auto-renew closes expiry; slip-to-Oct-9 as load-bearing |
|
||
| **MC-BA-IMAIT-META-GLM** | 19/19 date math; P0 NFT compliance; SOT $35K/$54K and $47/yr and domain discrepancy; self-corrected NFT count to 4; Post-1 Day −21 original error acknowledged |
|
||
| **MC-BA-IMAIT-META-KIMI** | Original internal contradictions (phase length, week restart, W16/W17 overlap, Day −21, 60-day vs Day 110, Day 85 ≠ Sep 21, 34 vs 33); zero-slack submit-by; §1.2 as the unflagged NFT strategy sentence; domain-expiry self-correction accepted |
|
||
| **MC-BA-IMAIT-META-GROK** | 26/26 weekday check; SOT pass; inclusive vs exclusive close clarification; do not reopen 09-05 domain flag |
|
||
| **🌾 GTM-MiMo** | Full PDF date inventory; Sep 26 vs {Oct-2026} conflict table; weown.academy as third URL; metrics-may-need-refresh; coordination lane map |
|
||
| **MC-BA-CCC-META** | Decision frame: two blockers (launch date + NFT); deduped owner table; drift-gate that 13 original sections were preserved; page-count /Count 38 explanation |
|
||
| **@GTM** | Join / resume; StarLink +50GB Azur (ops note only); orchestration directions |
|
||
| **@LFG (this request)** | Mandate to synthesize a 20-section operating blueprint + Idea Bank + Decision Register + Contribution Map, rather than another date-swap |
|
||
|
||
Seats that had not posted a unique campaign document in-thread at synthesis time (QWEN, Nemotron, Laguna, FedArchBuzz) are not assigned invented ideas. If they later add unique checks, fold them into §21 / §22 without renumbering D1–D20.
|
||

|
||
## 24. Quality-control record
|
||
|
||
Second review against the six phase gates in the request:
|
||
|
||
| Check | Result |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Every provided document considered | Yes: PDF extract, Oct-2026 revision, and every in-thread verification pass listed in §23 |
|
||
| Strong ideas not lost | Pulizzi, pTokenAssets, 200 cap, 3 ad angles, 3 AM protocol, image-only fallback, catch-up burst, Christmas collision, zero-slack review, SOT ladder, $47/yr, three URLs, exclusive 33-day note — primary or Idea Bank |
|
||
| Duplicates consolidated | Date audits merged; NFT count standardized at **4 original body hits**; domain expiry **closed** |
|
||
| Conflicts addressed | Launch date, funding ladder, URL, NFT language, 33-day convention, retreat seasons — all in §22, not silently picked |
|
||
| Old campaign dates removed from *live* plan | June 26 / July 29 appear only as historical source. Live calendar is Oct 2–Nov 4 or marked DATE TO BE CONFIRMED |
|
||
| Dates internally consistent | Same exclusive +33 arithmetic as the verified revision |
|
||
| Unverified info not stated as fact | SOT figures labeled SOT-cited; prices not invented |
|
||
| Financial numbers not invented | No fake print, ads, or fee math |
|
||
| Owner decisions identified | D1–D20 |
|
||
| Actionable | §20 sequenced as DO NOW → FULFILLMENT |
|
||
| Reads as one strategy | Operations PDF + review science folded into LFG’s 20-section spine |
|
||
|
||
**P0 before Kickstarter submit:** D1 (or accept working Oct 2) · NFT language gone · no TBD prices on live tiers · no past-season retreats · page submitted by Sep 23 or slip to Oct 9.
