Risks and failure conditions

D · unverified / analysis
  • Generic outputs add little value.
  • Fact errors and unlicensed material can invalidate delivery.
  • Output volume is not audience growth.

  1. Before spending, define an observable buyer action and a deadline in the validation planner.
  2. Run a small, consented pilot. Record actual review time, rework, replies and payments in your downloaded worksheet.
  3. Compare observations with your predeclared stop rule. Filling out a plan does not prove demand.
