Audience access
Reach is a test input, not validation.
The first acquisition plan should make it possible to observe a decision from the intended audience while limiting spend and measurement ambiguity.
Organic publishing
Concept-native stories, process notes or a waitlist page can reveal attention and opt-in behavior, but views alone do not prove purchase intent.
Small paid experiment
If later justified, a capped spend can test audience-message fit. Ad performance remains channel evidence, not venture proof, and should respect the $0–$1,000 planning boundary.

4
Delivery reality
What did the commitment cost in time, money, support and exceptions?
