Business

Ranking (researched candidates, Oct 25 sprint — awaiting Carlos's choice of which sales tests to actually run): structured income sleeve, Primera Cuenta, Ficha Perfecta, GEO/AEO fix sprints, Cabinet Augmenté pack, skincare private label. Capacity caps he set: at most two sales tests in parallel. TN status is a flag, never a gate. Run ONE plan at a time — a research artifact instead of buyer contact is the named failure mode.

🗓 Week 0 verification gates — Oct 26–30 PREP DONE

What "Week 0" means: before any of the sprint's top ideas gets built or funded, each has ONE cheap verification that can kill it — a written accountant answer, a designation check, a supplier RFQ. These five gates are that filter, one per top idea.

#1 Income sleeve — no allocation before ONE written accountant answer: JEPI/JEPQ withholding in his actual filing position (Canada treaty 15% vs Colombia no-treaty 30% unresolved). Airy email draft to Morgan Flaming (GTA Accounting) is written and ready to send.
#2 Primera Cuenta — gates: Mom's Ontario designation, EFILE eligibility, professional insurance + written scope sheet. Three questions for the call with Mom are prepared.
#6 Skincare private label (real #5 if Cabinet slips) — written RFQs to both maquilas: 250 vs 1,000-unit pricing for one ceramide moisturiser, NSO holder, formula ownership, Resolución 0814/2026 capability. Spanish draft ready.
#5 Cabinet Augmenté — this week's prep is Maheva's warm list (≥20 cabinets). Signature deadline Nov 20; if the window slips past ~Nov 6, Cabinet self-demotes and Skincare becomes #5.
#11 RutinaGrid — the sprint's own test: build started by Nov 2 or the Jan-1 window is lost. (Status: v1 feature-complete — Apps page.)

Decisions with Carlos: RutinaGrid green-light by Nov 2 · Cabinet counsel go/no-go (presented as his decision — a flag, not a gate).

🧭 Borderline tax copilot 30-DAY TEST

Sell-first test design: redacted sample packet from Carlos's own reconstructed travel year + one-page partner pitch, list of 30 practices, kill it if zero commit a client packet. Morgan Flaming = practice #1. Carlos is "not super excited about Borderline" — reluctance is data. In the sprint list it sits last with one firm-channel packet test and a hard kill.

Next step: buyer contact, not another artifact — per the standing rule.
