# StackPilot Start Here — Manual Validation Synthesis Memo

Status: local draft template. Use only after Tim has manually approved the review batch, wording, audience, and response logging. Do not send, post, publish, deploy, capture email, connect checkout, create accounts, accept terms, use analytics, or process private/payment/tax/legal/KYC/identity details from this memo.

## Before you synthesize: review order

Confirm the Start Here system was reviewed in this sequence before this memo becomes a launch recommendation:

1. Manual router — the beginner's stuck point and first manual are clear.
2. Sample artifacts — fictional examples show what “done” looks like without fake proof.
3. Manual validation kit — Tim approved the exact audience, wording, method, and response log.
4. Synthesis memo — exact approved feedback is grouped into revise, retest, free queue, or paid queue.
5. Launch review card — public/email/checkout/deployment paths are compared only after this memo supports a gate.

This memo is not permission to connect capture, checkout, analytics, deployment, accounts, listings, ads, payment/tax/KYC systems, or outreach.

## 3. Objection pattern

Check the dominant blocker.

- [ ] Too broad — reviewers cannot tell who it is for.
- [ ] Too advanced — terms or sequence feel intimidating.
- [ ] AI safety concern — reviewers worry AI will send/publish/buy/contact.
- [ ] Proof gap — they need examples, screenshots, walkthrough, or testimonials later.
- [ ] Price/value unclear — they do not know whether this is free, paid, or service-backed.
- [ ] Alternative path — they would rather use a template, guided service, course, or ChatGPT directly.
- [ ] Not urgent — problem is interesting but not painful enough.

## 4. Product fixes before next gate

- Headline to revise:
- Sample artifact to improve:
- Worksheet prompt to simplify:
- FAQ/proof answer to add:
- Safety copy to clarify:
- Launch promise to avoid:

## 5. Decision recommendation

Choose one.

### A. Revise local pack first
Use when 2+ reviewers cannot explain who the pack is for, what it creates, or why it is safe.

Required local changes:
- 

### B. Run one more manual batch
Use when feedback is useful but the sample is too small or too mixed.

Next approved batch criteria:
- Audience:
- Method:
- Script change:
- Question to add:

### C. Queue free lead magnet approval
Use when multiple reviewers ask to try the worksheet but price/value signal is still weak.

Tim approval fields needed later:
- Email provider:
- Privacy/unsubscribe language:
- Delivery email:
- Public page/deployment:
- Analytics:

### D. Queue paid product approval
Use only with clear value language, willingness-to-pay signal, support/refund readiness, and Tim approval for commercial setup.

Tim approval fields needed later:
- Price/package:
- Platform/checkout:
- Refund/terms/support:
- Payment/tax/KYC:
- Delivery test:
- Public listing/deployment:
