## Public-page-ready FAQ

Use only after Tim approves the launch path.

### Is this another AI business playbook?

No. It is a worksheet route. The output is seven local files: buyer map, offer, stack, agent job, content route, customer tracker, and delivery checklist.

### Do I need paid tools first?

No. The pack starts before tool buying. AI can draft and organize, but purchases, accounts, integrations, and deployment stay approval-only.

### Will this make money automatically?

No. StackPilot does not promise income. The pack helps create the first business artifacts so a human can validate buyer pain, offer clarity, customer questions, and delivery.

### What proof can the public page show?

Show the worksheets, fictional samples, safety gates, and preview screenshots. Do not show fake testimonials, fake revenue, invented customers, or unsupported case studies.

## Proof ladder

1. Local product proof: blank worksheets, printable pack, ZIP, sample artifacts, and QA contact sheet all work locally.
2. Clarity proof: one reader can explain who the pack is for, what it creates, and what AI is not allowed to do.
3. Market proof: approved launch path produces real downloads, replies, questions, objections, or purchases.

## Validation decision tree

- **WAIT** — improve local copy, samples, FAQ, screenshots, or download QA only.
- **MANUAL VALIDATION** — Tim approves the exact audience, manual delivery method, and feedback logging rules; Hermes may prepare the script but not send it.
- **FREE LEAD MAGNET** — Tim approves email provider, privacy/unsubscribe language, download delivery, deployment, and analytics/click tracking.
- **PAID PRODUCT** — Tim approves checkout platform, payment/KYC/tax details, refund/terms language, live delivery test, support inbox, and public listing.
