Status: local template for Tim-approved manual validation only. This file does **not** authorize Hermes to send outreach, publish, deploy, collect emails, create accounts, connect checkout, or contact anyone.

| Objection / question | Buyer type | What it probably means | Product response | Evidence needed before claiming |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| "I don't know who I would sell to." | Beginner | Manual 01 needs more examples. | Add buyer-map examples and a simpler first prompt. | More repeated comments from real readers. |
|  |  |  |  |  |
