Section 10: Automation Plan Double-Verified Against Timeless and AI-Native Growth Tactics
This section evaluates the automation backlog through two lenses:
- Lens A: timeless growth principles
- Lens B: recent AI product launches with observable traction signals
Lens B references in this section are launch-and-adoption signals from 2025-2026 platforms and model releases, used only for prioritization. They are directional signals, not causal proof of acquisition lift for LONGSHOT, and cannot independently justify rollout without cohort-level experiment evidence.
Primary TOF channels assumed in the March 2026 rerun: Twitter/X, Telegram, and Discord. Channel-specific build-vs-buy and tool fp-check decisions live in 10.2 and 10.4.
Automation is retained only when it improves core marketplace outcomes (liquidity, retention, GMV retention, growth rate), maps to recent observed platform launches/adoption signals, passes explicit holdout testing, and can be operated with explicit guardrails (E3, E4, E78, E82, E92, E93, E94, E95).
