User, then pain
Who has it, how they pay today. Then what you built.

02
One proof
A number with a window, or a named customer. Downloads without retention are decoration.

The ask is a sentence
A meeting, an intro, a check size. Vague let's connect is not an ask.

04
Sit down at sixty
A second verse is how people forget the first.
