# Start Here Feedback Revision Worksheet

Status: local-only revision worksheet. Use only after Tim approves a tiny manual-validation review batch. Do not publish, send, post, deploy, connect email capture, connect checkout, create accounts, accept terms, run ads, contact reviewers, or use payment/tax/KYC/private identity/customer details from this file.

## Purpose

Turn approved human feedback into safer Start Here product edits without inventing proof.

This worksheet separates:

1. exact approved words,
2. Hermes interpretation,
3. smallest local page/asset edit,
4. honest proof status,
5. next test or launch gate.

## Review order before revision

Use this worksheet only after the feedback has moved through the local Start Here validation route:

1. Manual router — confirm which manual or sample the reviewer saw first.
2. Manual validation kit — use only Tim-approved, non-private feedback rows.
3. Synthesis memo — group repeated confusion, objections, download asks, purchase asks, and proof requests.
4. Feedback revision worksheet — quote exactly, separate Hermes interpretation, label proof status honestly, and choose one smallest local edit.
5. Launch review card — return every revised idea to WAIT, manual-first, free-magnet, or paid-product gates.

Do not let feedback authorize live action by itself. A purchase/download ask is a signal to prepare a local launch decision, not permission to publish, deploy, connect email capture, connect checkout, create accounts, accept terms, or use payment/tax/KYC/private details.

## Quote vs interpretation rule

- Exact reviewer language goes in quotation marks and stays anonymized.
- Hermes interpretation must be labeled as interpretation, not market language.
- The local edit should touch one surface at a time: headline, lede, FAQ answer, sample label, validation script line, public-page copy, or launch brief.
- Early rows can be labeled as reviewer confusion, proof request, download signal, or purchase signal. They are not testimonials, case studies, or verified proof.

## Decision rules

### If feedback is repeated confusion

- Revise the headline, lede, 10-year-old explanation, or sample labels.
- Do not build capture/checkout/analytics/deployment yet.
- Retest the clarified page manually.

### If feedback asks for proof

- Do not invent testimonials, customers, revenue, screenshots, logos, or case studies.
- Say: local product proof exists; market proof requires approved manual validation.
- Keep fictional samples clearly labeled.

### If feedback asks for download access

- Treat this as lead-magnet signal, not permission to connect email capture.
- Queue privacy/delivery/email-provider decisions for Tim approval.
- Revise the free lead-magnet copy variant if useful.

### If feedback asks how to buy

- Treat this as purchase signal, not permission to connect checkout.
- Queue checkout, terms, refund/support, delivery test, payment/tax/KYC, and marketplace/account decisions for Tim approval.
- Revise the paid-product copy variant only if the exact words clarify the buyer's desired outcome.

## Proof language rules

Allowed labels:

- Fictional teaching sample
- Local product draft
- Approved reviewer question
- Approved purchase/download signal
- Verified proof after Tim approval only

Blocked labels until proven:

- Proven system
- Case study
- Customer success
- Testimonial
- Revenue result
- People love it
- Guaranteed outcome

## Safe next local work

Hermes may:

- draft local copy revisions,
- update local Markdown/HTML files,
- regenerate ZIP assets,
- run static verification,
- log exactly what changed.

Hermes may not without explicit approval:

- send, post, DM, or contact anyone,
- publish or deploy,
- connect email capture, checkout, analytics, CRM, or payment systems,
- create accounts or accept terms,
- use private customer, payment, tax, legal, KYC, identity, or credential details,
- turn fictional examples into proof.
