# Start Here Paid-Product Readiness Draft

Status: local no-checkout planning sheet. Do not connect checkout, payment, listings, analytics, deployment, account creation, terms, KYC, tax, legal, identity, support inboxes, customer data, or outreach until Tim approves.

## Purpose

Prepare the StackPilot Start Here 7-Day Worksheet Pack for a possible future paid-product path without opening any live systems. This sheet reviews package promise, price options, delivery/support/refund rules, proof limits, first metrics, and approval gates.

## Package ladder for review

| Option | Draft price | Use when | Support risk |
|---|---:|---|---|
| Worksheet-only test | $19 | Proof is light and Tim wants the simplest paid signal. | Low; file delivery only. |
| Starter pack default | $29 | Samples, printable pack, FAQ, and delivery path are clean. | Moderate; questions likely. |
| Bundle / preorder waitlist | $49 | Real buyer language and stronger proof/support rules exist. | Higher; only after Tim approval. |

These are draft review numbers, not live prices. Tim must approve final price, platform, listing, checkout flow, refund/support terms, delivery, tax/KYC/payment/account details, and launch path.

## Delivery, support, and refund checklist before checkout

- [ ] Tim chooses the launch path: wait, improve, manual share again, free lead magnet, paid product, or preorder/waitlist.
- [ ] Tim approves final product name, price, included files, and non-included support boundaries.
- [ ] Checkout/listing platform and any account creation/terms are approved.
- [ ] Payment, tax, KYC, legal, identity, and platform fields are handled only by Tim.
- [ ] Delivery route is tested after platform approval; no broken post-purchase file.
- [ ] Refund window, support contact, and digital-product terms are written and approved.
- [ ] Public proof claims, screenshots, testimonials, logos, and metrics are approved or removed.
- [ ] First metric is chosen: purchase attempts, completed orders, checkout friction, support questions, refund requests, or objections.

## Proof and claim limits

Allowed in local drafts:

- Blank worksheet screenshots.
- Fictional samples clearly labeled as teaching examples.
- Local QA evidence.
- Safety gates and approval rules.
- Honest draft price/package comparisons.

Not allowed without real evidence and Tim approval:

## Human approval lock

Hermes may draft local paid-product copy, compare package options, organize checklists, update ZIP/contact sheets, and run verification.

Hermes may not create checkout accounts, accept terms, list the product, connect payment, enter KYC/tax/legal/identity details, deploy pages, connect analytics, post, advertise, contact buyers, process customer data, or make public proof claims without Tim approval.
