Founder input — where your answer changes the work

Focused request (published 5 Sep 19:55). The 19:50 reassessment already said what evidence can and cannot answer. This card asks only what evidence cannot. Offer shape is held and not re-asked. The parked first-customer cut is not in this ask.

What your input changes: Who named → the reach next-test can run without inventing a buyer; Why stated → the first hour has a reason attached to that who; Channel named → reach can close faster than the held-shape test. Without answers, further Vision progress stays blocked on you — the agent will not invent.

All of the questions (never just the first):

• Who do you picture paying for the first professional hour — a role, a firm type, or a situation? (Evidence constrains who not to invent; it names no accepted buyer.)
• For that who: why would they pay — what is expensive or painful enough about their today? (Offer shape is held; willingness-to-pay for a named who is not.)
• Optional: which channel do you already have this month that could reach one of them? (If none, the next test uses held channel shapes once who is named — you do not have to answer this.)

Window: opens 2026-09-05 19:55; Standing until answered — also carried on the morning (08:55) and afternoon (14:55) windows (each open 90 minutes).
If you don't reply: Keep Vision first. Do not invent a buyer, a why-pay, or a channel. Do not reopen rotated-off research categories. Next evaluation: the next decision window, or sooner if you reply in chat quoting this card.

The first-customer cut stays parked. Preparation exists (C1/C2, 4–5 Sep) and was deliberately not activated.

What your input changes: Confirms the boundary so no hour is spent circling it.

All of the questions (never just the first):

• Is there any circumstance in which you would want the parked cut re-examined — or does the protection stand exactly as written?

Window: opens now; Standing — answer only if the boundary should move.
If you don't reply: The protection stands unchanged: do not unpark, do not activate from prep.

One design question is deliberately undecided: how the overnight page should open (voice-note VN-061 was ambiguous). It is kept undecided on purpose until the design needs a decision.

What your input changes: Settles the only knowingly-undecided page design.

All of the questions (never just the first):

• When you open the night's page over coffee, do you want the night's contributions first (current default) or the one thing that needs you first?

Window: opens now; None — undecided by design.
If you don't reply: Keep the contributions-first layout and keep the question open.
