## Week-specific deliverables
- [ ] Write and approve the production funnel event definitions from completed signup through first useful change.
- [ ] Define persisted first-touch/latest-touch UTM fields and the optional self-reported attribution question.
- [ ] Audit the homepage, signup, guided demo, codebase import, and first-useful-task handoff as one continuous journey.
- [ ] Launch at least two distinct cold-email audience × offer tests with unique destinations and UTMs.
- [ ] Continue 40 LinkedIn requests/day and record actual outcomes for the existing 22 interested leads.
- [ ] Produce and distribute three founder-led product demonstrations across Martin, Alex, and influencer/creator surfaces.
- [ ] Document the existing sponsored-placement package/results and shortlist at least ten similar sponsorship properties.
- [ ] Publish or materially advance the first three high-intent non-branded SEO pages.
- [ ] Decide the paid-learning budget, maximum cost per signup, and maximum cost per activated user.
- [ ] Audit Product Hunt account eligibility, missing assets, testimonials, onboarding, analytics, and support readiness.
- [ ] Segment the 260-person warm list into activated users, inactive users, and warm non-users.
## Recurring execution across every medium
- [ ] Cold email: operate toward the 1,400-send daily limit, protect deliverability, and report unique leads → positive replies → signups → useful changes.
- [ ] LinkedIn: maintain 40 connection requests/day and report requests → accepts → replies → interested → signups → useful changes.
- [ ] Founder content: produce three anchor product demonstrations/week and distribute channel-native versions with tracked links.
- [ ] Creators/communities: keep outreach, collaborations, and community participation active; measure activated-user yield.
- [ ] Sponsored media: renew proven sponsorships and test comparable paid properties; do not optimize for listing count.
- [ ] Non-branded SEO: publish three high-intent pages or material updates/week with real product proof.
- [ ] Paid: run or scale learning tests only within approved budget, attribution, quality, and activation guardrails.
- [ ] Product Hunt: continue preparation or post-launch follow-up; launch only when readiness gates pass.
- [ ] Measurement/activation: review source, ICP quality, imports, first useful changes, and Day-7 return every week.
- [ ] Product sharing remains a support capability and is not assigned an acquisition target.
## End-of-week evidence required
- [ ] Actual completed signups/day and rolling average.
- [ ] Qualified visitors/day and visitor → signup conversion.
- [ ] ICP-qualified signups and share.
- [ ] Codebase imports, first useful changes, and Day-7 return where mature.
- [ ] Actual channel contribution versus the expected table.
- [ ] Spend and cost per signup/activated user for sponsored and paid media.
- [ ] Scale / improve / stop / protect decision for every medium.
- [ ] Exact carryover deliverables for the next week.
## Guardrails
- Do not count branded Mode searches as non-branded SEO acquisition.
- Do not use Build Start / Build Succeed as the guided-demo funnel.
- Do not infer cold-email totals from ambiguous platform percentages.
- Do not equate LinkedIn interest with signup.
- Do not model product sharing as an acquisition medium.
- Do not count ordinary directory listings as sponsorship growth.
- Keep completed signups, ICP-qualified signups, activated users, and canonical qualified users distinct.
