Launch review card / SP-START-REVIEW

Choose the launch path without connecting it yet.

A one-page approval card for the Start Here pack. It compares manual validation, free lead magnet, and paid product paths side-by-side so the next move is a business decision — not a hidden deployment, checkout, email capture, or outreach action.

Command brief

Stop before the launch machinery.

The Start Here pack is locally packaged. The risky part is not more design; it is choosing how to validate it without accidentally creating accounts, collecting emails, accepting payments, publishing, or implying market proof that does not exist.

10-year-old mode

Pick how to show the worksheet to people.

You can show it by hand, give it away for an email later, or sell it later. Each choice needs different approvals. This card names those approvals before anything is connected.

Review order / decide after evidence

Choose a path only after the starter system has been reviewed in order.

The launch card now uses the same Start Here sequence as the hub, guide library, worksheet pack, launch bridge, and contact sheets. Do not jump to email capture or checkout until the router, fictional samples, manual-validation kit, and approval card have been inspected.

Three future launch paths

Same product. Different risk.

Path A / Manual validation

Human test before systems.

Best first move when learning buyer questions matters more than list size or revenue. Hermes may prepare the message and feedback sheet; Tim approves and handles any sharing.

Tim approval fieldsAudience, exact wording, delivery method, feedback questions, where responses are logged.
What Hermes can prepareOne-page script, objection log, readme, feedback scorecard, local delivery checklist.
Signal to measureReplies, confusion, requested examples, objections, which manual/day creates interest.
Blocked: sending, posting, DMs, account actions
Path B / Free lead magnet

Email-download test.

Best when building a list is the priority. Only safe after Tim approves provider, privacy/unsubscribe language, delivery behavior, deployment, and analytics/click tracking.

Tim approval fieldsEmail provider, sender identity, privacy/unsubscribe copy, delivery email, public URL, analytics scope.
What Hermes can prepareLanding copy, thank-you copy, delivery email draft, privacy checklist, QA script.
Signal to measureVisits, opt-ins, download completion, replies/questions, unsubscribes, source clicks.
Blocked: email capture, provider account, deploy, analytics
Path C / Paid product

Low-ticket checkout test.

Best when revenue validation matters more than reach. Only safe after price, refund/terms, support, checkout platform, tax/KYC/payment, and delivery testing are approved.

Tim approval fieldsPrice, platform, refund/terms language, support inbox, delivery test, payment/tax/KYC owner details.
What Hermes can prepareListing copy, FAQ, fulfillment email, support macros, no-hype proof blocks, launch QA checklist.
Signal to measureCheckout views, purchases, support questions, refunds, objections, first-user completion feedback.
Blocked: checkout, payment, listing, tax/KYC, terms acceptance

Recommended next asset

Manual validation now has a local kit.

The safest first path is packaged as a script, feedback log, objection log, and approval checklist. Hermes may prepare the files, but Tim still approves the audience, wording, delivery method, and whether any human sees the pack.
