Shipped
- A second paying customer, $28 a month, since 18 August. 69 signups in the last 30 days.
- Activation fixed: 56% of new users log a real trade, up from about 15% in June.
- Prop firm rule tracking, screen recording and backtesting all live.
Broke, or is broken
- Two payers against 245 users. 8 upgrade clicks all time, so almost nobody is asked.
- The price fails its own channel test: Meta ads need $59 a month at 4% churn; the new plan is $28.
Next month
- Price toward $59, free tier to a trial. $28 survives only if churn stays under 1.9%.
- Meta ads account set up and tested before a single dollar goes in.
- First campaign logged, with venue, angle, signups and payers.

Broke, or is broken
- Live at samlify.com and nobody outside can log in yet. No email provider on the account.
- Three price tiers in the code, two plans set by hand, zero paid through Stripe.
Next month
- Open the door: a stranger signs up unaided.
- One tier quoted to the pilot, the other two kept for later.
- The nine warm introductions, worked, in one room.

Shipped
- 28creation.com live: a press, a five station line, a wall, the zoom out.
- The six rules at /factory/, with the price each channel forces.
- This list, and this issue.
Next month
- An email provider, so this reaches an inbox and not only a URL.
- Revenue per month from both products as a query, not a typed number.
Two bricks laid, one curing. Same six rules next month.
