Proposed solution

Publish a brutal “done” definition. Instrument failure modes. Price so support labor does not bankrupt cohort one. Distribution sprint (30 days): one channel, daily reps, weekly conversion review. Features only if activation is already clear. Counter-intuitive advice: raise prices earlier than feels polite. Underpricing attracts tourists and hides weak value. Distribution bottleneck: content without a next step becomes a magazine. End with a pilot CTA or a useful template. One caution: marketplace dynamics are a trap for solo founders—liquidity is not a weekend project. One recommendation: define one success metric, put it on a one-page offer, and reject scope that does not move it. Practical next step: capture ten verbatim buyer phrases; use them as page copy. Real-world pattern: seat expansion works when daily utility creates pull—design an artifact people forward. Straight take: one paid pilot beats a polished multi-feature build with zero distribution reps.
