Find the weak point before asking Codex for more features.

A first-dollar path usually fails at one of six points: buyer, offer, checkout, page, traffic, or proof. Score the current project, then fix the lowest-scoring part before building more.

A specific buyer can be named in one sentence.

Not "everyone with an idea." Name the role, pain, and current alternative.

The paid promise is smaller than the product vision.

Sell one useful outcome before selling a platform, automation suite, or dashboard.

There is a live one-time payment link.

A waitlist, DM, or "contact us" path is weaker than a visible checkout.

The page explains what happens after payment.

Buyers need output, timing, support contact, and refund-risk clarity before paying.

One free traffic move is ready to run today.

Pick one community, one useful angle, and one reversible post or reply artifact.

The next proof event is measurable.

Track page views, checkout clicks, payment sessions, and paid payments separately.
