The one-line story for Rich: This was a warm room (83% prior SP history, 34% already buyers). The ~12,300 people emailed opened at a strong 59% — but clicked through at just 1.2%, so only ~1,580 hit the opt-in page (which then converted well, at 50%). They showed up ready and stayed (40% show, 277 peak, 159-min avg watch; 19% of live attendees bought the $97 VIP) — but were never asked for the core sale, because the post-webinar replay/cart-close engine (71% of C1's revenue) wasn't running during the window (now firing as of today). With the cart open to June 15, the money isn't lost — it hasn't been requested. Two growth leaks underneath: only ~1/3 of the 37K house list was emailed, and email click-through (1.2%) — not the page — was the top-of-funnel constraint.
🎯 Action Center — this cart close (now → Jun 15)
Everything we can do to recover THIS cohort while the cart's open. Rich is leading the next webinar — his playbook + the autopsy learnings are in the 🔮 Next Webinar tab. §Do ASAP ranks these by revenue impact.
🧭 ASHLEY — CMO
owns the recovery + every call
TODAY
DECIDE: extend the cart? · approve a real fast-action bonus · set one Mac/Windows policy.
QA the live checkout end-to-end before more traffic (only 4/17 pages were live Jun 2).
Keep the sales page live + pixels firing through Jun 15 — and confirm every attendee actually got their personalized report (chat showed access friction: "I don't see it" / "not there"). A dead page or missing report = silent lost sales.
Stand up the replay + cart-close engine — direct Ben + Thomas (copy exists, C1 V6.0). The 71% lever.
Fix the reg page so Elite buyers apply their $2,497 credit — caused 46 checkout → 0.
Patch FM Slack visibility (missing_scope) + add an FM sales feed.
Email the other ~⅔ of the 37K list — ~25K warm contacts never got the invite.
Work the Elite / ZMOS upsell list first (see card →) — warmest, fastest recovery.
Own + schedule the Q&A / book-a-call for non-buyers (loop Rich in to lead it) — C1's single biggest replay lever.
Watch recovery pace daily; make the cart-extension call.
✍️ COPYWRITERS
Thomas + team · recovery copy
TODAY
Write the full-list replay email (from C1 V6.0) — register-agnostic open, a FIT line, verified proof only, Rich's real payoff (excited-to-work / amplify).
THIS WINDOW → JUN 15
Make the sales page self-closing — put the full pitch ON it (offer + proof + the FIT / ladder / Mac / schedule answers + Elite-credit path + bonus + deadline). 71% convert off-webinar with no live pitch — the page has to sell them. Point all replay/cart links here, not a bare checkout (only 122 of the room reached it; 0 of 46 closed).
Cart-close (7) with the real fast-action bonus + the Jun 15 deadline; plus the checkout-abandoner email.
A dedicated Elite-upsell email — "you hold a $2,497 credit; FM is ~$2,500 net for you."
Use the freshest, most personal proof: reference the personalized AI report each attendee generated ("your report flagged X — FM builds that for you") + fold in VIP-day (Jun 4) wins as new testimonials. Highest-relevance hook in the replay/cart copy.
Answer the 3 objections in copy: Windows path · Elite→FM (+ apply credit) · solo/agency/contractor fit.
Lift email click-through (1.2%) — opens are strong (59%); rewrite CTAs to earn the click.
🎟️ Hottest list — work it first
warm-upsell already in the room
~23 registrants (≈3%) are confirmed Zenith Elite owners — each holds a $2,497 credit toward FM, so FM ($4,997) is ~$2,500 net for them (~$57K in credits already sitting against the offer).
Behind them: 143 (18%) ZMOS base buyers + 102 (13%) tagged "eligible for Plus/Elite upgrade."
→ Email this segment before the broad blast. They're the warmest, fastest dollars in the window. (Source: 790-contact registrant export.)
The cart-close brief: warm, high-desire room — recover + remove friction, don't rebuild the offer. Today: QA the buy path + switch the replay/cart engine on. This window: work the Elite/ZMOS list first, segment the replay, email the other ⅔, answer the 3 objections, run a Rich Q&A.
🔮 Next Webinar (C3) — the autopsy playbook
What this autopsy says to change before we run it again — grouped by who owns it. These aren't cart-close tasks; they're the build list for the next cohort.
🎙️ RICH
webinar direction — what he leads
Lead the payoff with amplify / excited-to-work / the closing 12–18-mo advantage.
Drop the buy link early & keep it pinned — last time it came at 2h45m; don't let the close tangle with the report download.
Pre-empt FIT + the product-ladder ON STAGE — the #1 and #2 unanswered questions (agency / consultant / contractor; FM vs Elite vs CTD).
State one Mac/Windows policy clearly, early.
Decide the offer structure for the time barrier (paced / done-with-you).
🧭 ASHLEY — CMO
build & gates before go-live
Make "post-webinar engine deployed + QA'd" a hard go/no-go gate — 2 business days out. The root cause.
Re-add affiliates (163 → 0, the biggest reg-volume loss).
Install Microsoft Clarity on funnel pages (kit ready) for real page heatmaps.
Build the FIT matrix + product-ladder slide + schedule/replay policy on the sales page.
Staff a live chat moderator + enable/monitor the Zoom Q&A panel — it went unused; all 64 Qs scattered into chat.
Fix FM sales visibility in the command center.
✍️ COPYWRITERS
launch copy & sales page
Build the sales page to be self-closing — full pitch + proof + objection answers + Elite-credit + schedule, so conversion never depends on catching the live ask (it also serves cold / affiliate traffic).
Bake FIT bridges + product-ladder clarity into the sales page + emails.
Use Rich's verified proof only — 80 ppl / 47 businesses · AOV +500% · $2.2M→~$5M · "88% adopted, 6% see impact" · "1 person = 1,000" — never invented stats.
Lead with Rich's real payoff (amplify · closing advantage · loving the work).
Pre-empt the 3 objections in the launch copy: Windows · Elite→FM (+ credit) · solo/agency/contractor fit.
What the autopsy says, in one line: a warm room with the offer + content working (held 92% for 2 hrs, "I'm IN!!" in chat) — but two timing failures (buy link at 2h45m + the replay/cart engine off) and unanswered FIT / product-ladder / Mac / logistics questions cost the close. The fix for C3: pre-empt those questions on stage, drop the link early, and have the recovery engine live + QA'd before go-live.

Answer the chat objections in replay copy

Answer the TIME objection in offer + copy
The warm buyers' #1 barrier (survey, 63 resp): "no time to implement / still finishing what I bought." Frame FM as freeing capacity to redeploy toward growth (not "one more course"); paced / done-with-you; add payment flexibility for cash-flow.
Ashley + Thomas

Re-add affiliates next cohort
C1 ran 163 affiliates + the house list; C2 was house-list-only — a whole acquisition channel C2 didn't have. Likely the biggest driver of the reg gap, and the top reg-volume lever next run.

Fix FM sales visibility
Command center can't read FM Slack (missing_scope) + no FM sales feed — why $0 wasn't caught live.
Claude / Harry
If you do only one thing: keep the replay + cart-close engine firing through Jun 15 — that's the 71% of revenue that was never asked for. (A single all-non-buyers replay is live; segmenting it — attended / no-show / VIP — lifts conversion further.) Everything else amplifies it.

Read it left-to-right: Acquisition was light (small, under-mailed pool). Engagement was healthy (normal show rate, strong VIP intent). Conversion never happened — not because the room said no, but because the post-webinar machine that asks for the sale was never turned on.

The email strip (top) feeds the people-funnel (bars, % of opt-in sessions). Two leaks stand out: (1) email click-through 1.2% — ~12,300 emailed, 59% opened, but only 2,407 clicked → ~1,580 sessions; and (2) the core-sale ask never happened — 307 attended (277 peak, 159-min avg watch), 57 bought the $97 VIP, but zero converted on the core offer because the replay + cart-close engine wasn't running (now being deployed). Note the opt-in page converted great (50%) — it wasn't the problem.

The bottom-of-funnel collapse. From a 277-strong, 2.6-hour-engaged room, only 122 reached the sales page and 46 hit checkout — 0 completed. Three reads: (1) almost nobody was driven to the offer page (the replay/cart-close engine was off); (2) the few who reached checkout stalled — and the chat shows why: existing Zenith Elite buyers couldn't find where to apply their purchase ("I…did not see where we can specify that we purchased Zenith Elite to get…"); (3) so QA + fix the buy path is a P0 (sales page → checkout → Whop, plus the existing-buyer path). And the buy link came late:strategicprofits.com/force first hit the chat at 2h45m (02:45) — ~15 min after the price reveal — in a webinar that ran 3h21m. So the live buy window was only the final ~35 minutes, by which point live attendance had slid to ~76% and kept falling to 56%. Replay page = 8 views so far (only went live today).
📈 Retention × What Rich Said
Live concurrent attendance across the 202-minute webinar (Zoom join/leave), mapped to what was on screen. The shape is the story — the content held the room; the only decline was the offer/close.
Peak 277 concurrent @ min 42 · held 96% through 90 min, ~92% out to two full hours · 56% still on at the 3-hour mark. The only sustained drop is the offer/close (min 150+) — not the teaching.

Strong close for a 3h+ webinar
The takeaway: the webinar worked — the Claude letter and live proof drove peak engagement and held ~92%+ of peak for two hours (96% through 90 min). The only real decline was the offer/close (normal) — accelerated by the late buy link (first posted at 2h45m of a 3h21m webinar) and the unanswered Mac / overlap / fit questions in chat. It reinforces the verdict: the content and the room were strong — the ask + follow-up were the gap.
3 · Who Was Actually In The Room
Built from the 790-contact registrant export (tags). This is the layer volume numbers hide — and it confirms Rich's VIP read.
🎟️ Hidden warm-upsell in the room:~23 (≈3%) of registrants are confirmed Zenith Elite owners — each holds a $2,497 credit toward FM, so FM ($4,997) is ~$2,500 net for them (~$57K in credits already sitting against the offer). Behind them: 143 (18%) ZMOS base buyers + 102 (13%) tagged "eligible for Plus/Elite upgrade." Only ~5 (≈1%) already own FM itself (from C1) — so the core pitch is fresh to ~99% of the list (existing owners → team-seat add-on, not a re-sell). The Elite/ZMOS group is the warmest segment to work the cart window — see the 🎯 Action Center. (Source: 790-contact registrant export.)

Why it matters: a warm, high-spender VIP base that buys the $97 ticket but isn't moved to the core offer is a follow-up/ask problem, not a desire problem. These exact people are the warmest targets for the replay + cart-close recovery.
Why The Warm Room Didn't Buy
83% warm, strong VIP intent — yet $0 core. Three layers, honestly sourced. (No per-person "attended" tag in GHL, so this is the engine-level + survey-level "why," not per-person attribution.)
1 · They were never asked
The replay + cart-close engine was off through the webinar window; a single replay to all non-buyers started today (the per-segment sequences — attended non-buyers / no-shows / VIP non-buyers — still aren't built). Webinar night is only ~29% of FM revenue; the 71% "ask" never went out during the window. The 307 who showed (277 peak, 159-min avg watch — they were locked in) mostly never got a post-webinar offer. Biggest reason — now being fixed.
2 · They're time-starved
The #1 barrier in the warm buyers' own words (survey, 63 responses): time / capacity to implement. Many are still finishing what they already bought (ZenithMind Elite, CTD, the 30-Day Transformation). Someone who can't finish their current program won't buy another intensive.
"The time it takes to 'digest' the new material and use it effectively." · "Not enough time — mind is racing." · "I have not completed the program." — verbatim, FM/Elite survey
3 · Cash-flow timing
Secondary barrier (CTD survey): the "cash-tapped" objection — the implementation gap means revenue from prior programs hasn't landed yet, so there's no fresh cash to reinvest.
🗣️ Voice of the room — what the chat actually said
867 chat messages from 153 attendees (Q&A logged 0 — the questions all went to chat). Desire was real; unresolved friction at the decision point is what blocked the close.
🖥️ Mac-only blocker (14 msgs)
A hard tech + cost wall. "I don't have a Mac and can't get one right now." · "Why Mac only?" · "I imagine if you need a Mac I am looking at more money than the cost of the program…" The room also got mixed signals: Rich said FM is Mac-required, moderator Harry said ZenithMind runs on Windows too, and a customer insisted "you absolutely, 100% do not need a Mac for any of this." Never cleanly resolved.
🔁 Overlap confusion (8 msgs)
Existing buyers unsure how FM relates to what they own — and the reg page didn't handle it: "Is that over and above Zenith Elite that I just purchased??" · "Do I need to complete Zenith Elite before doing the Force Multiplier course???" · "I went to the registration page and I did not see where we can specify that we purchased Zenith Elite to get…"
🎯 Fit uncertainty (9 msgs)
Solo / agency / multi-business owners unsure it fit: "how would this apply to an agency that works with multiple clients…" · "What if you're not a service but a serial entrepreneur creating a lot of different unrelated products…" · "Solo preneure operating on a shoestring budget. Boo"
⏱️ And the close itself leaked — the buy window opened in the last ~35 min
Price revealed at 02:30 — then no buy link for 13 minutes. Rich's first attempt at the URL (02:43) was fumbled ("…strategicprofits.com forward slash… Fourth, lowercase" → later "My memory's crap"), and it didn't hit chat until 02:45 (2h45m into a 3h21m webinar). Then the buy link had to compete with the free-report link (aistrategist.com/report) while Rich troubleshot the report download on screen — so the room couldn't tell which link did what: "I don't see it" · "My report is not there" · "I am also not able to download the report."
A ready buyer, blocked on logistics: one attendee asked about replays four times — "I will be on a flight to Australia July 8-10. Will there be replays?" (FM starts July 7) — and never got an answer live. Exactly what a post-webinar engine exists to catch.
Desire was clearly there — 25+ positive reactions ("Incredible offer," "business in a box," "I'm IN!!"). But people with unanswered fit / tech / overlap questions don't buy on the spot — they wait for answers. With no post-webinar engine running, the answers never came. That's the close that didn't happen.
What this means for the fix: (1) ask them — replay/cart-close engine, now live; (2) handle the TIME objection — position FM as freeing capacity to redeploy toward growth / paced / done-with-you; (3) payment flexibility for cash-flow; (4) kill the chat frictions — make the Windows path explicit, clarify the Elite→FM relationship (and fix the reg page so existing buyers can apply their purchase), and add solo/agency fit bridges. The desire is there (83% warm, "I'm IN!!") — the blockers are ask, time, cash timing, and unanswered objections, not the offer.
🗣️ Room Sentiment & Chat Intel → what to change for C3
All 867 chat messages from 153 attendees, mined for sentiment and the questions that went unanswered. The room was warm and highly engaged — the gaps were FIT, product-ladder clarity, logistics, and the close mechanics, not the content or the offer. This is the playbook for the next webinar.
Net sentiment: warm + engaged
90+ positive / grateful reactions, deep ecosystem loyalty, live "I'm IN!!" energy. Desire was never the problem.
64 questions (7% of chat)
The room leaned in and asked — but most high-stakes ones (fit, ladder, logistics) never got answered live.
Friction clustered at the offer
First ~2 hrs: curiosity + raves. From min 150 (offer) the chat filled with "does this fit me?", "where does this sit?", and logistics.
✅ What landed — keep & amplify
The offer drew raves:"Incredible offer Rich!" · "It's a business in a box" (George Shepherd) · "I'm IN!!" (Wendy Hart) The reputation-as-guarantee close landed:"Your reputation is your guarantee: Golden." (Jorge Loebl) · "Rich is the best I've seen and I've had many of his classes" (Deremiah) Deep ecosystem loyalty:"My life has never been the same since Zenith." (Christopher Vogelmann) · "still benefiting from zenithmind program, I will sign up for force multiplier!" (Harold Deblander)
Keep: the Claude-letter hook, the live-build proof, the honest "not for everyone" framing, and the "my reputation is the guarantee" close — they all worked.

"how does this compare with connect the dots? … done for you instead of done with you?" (Emily, 4×) · "Do I need to complete Zenith Elite before doing the Force Multiplier course???" (Donald)
One ladder slide: FM vs Zenith Elite vs CTD vs the in-person install — plus a reg-page field so existing buyers apply their credit
📅 Schedule / replay ready buyers blocked
Deborah ×4 Wendy, others
"Rich can you tell us the hours of the 5 day please? I don't see it on the sales page…" (Wendy Hart — a buyer) · "I can't attend live. Will there be replays? How to I apply my ZenithMindOS credit?" (Deborah)
Put daily hours, time zone, Q&A times + replay policy on the sales page — these were buyers planning their calendars
🖥️ Mac / Windows
14 msgs
"Why Mac only?" (Carlos) · "what type of a Mac would we need?" (Karen) · plus conflicting host / moderator / customer answers (see §whynobuy)
State one Mac policy clearly + upfront (which Mac, what cost); make the Windows path explicit
🎟️ VIP-day clarity a paid buyer, twice
John Saks ×2
"I bought VIP - what will we be implementing tomorrow?" (John Saks — asked twice, never answered)
Send VIP buyers a "here's what tomorrow looks like" brief before the day
🛬 "Land the plane" content → action

"Land the plane. How do we implement this?" (Susan Dost) · "So how do we implement this?" (Burke Franklin)
Tighten the content→implementation bridge right before the ask
🔗 The close mechanics
link @ 2h45m
"how to access the report ? what is the link" (Rain) — buy link came 13 min after price, fumbled, competing with the report link
Link ready + pinned at the offer reveal; ONE link; no competing report download (detail in §whynobuy)
🔧 The C3 change list — build these before the next webinar
FIT MATRIX (webinar slide + sales-page section) — the #1 unanswered demand
Product-ladder slide — FM vs Zenith Elite vs CTD vs the in-person install
Schedule + replay policy on the sales page — hours, time zone, Q&A times
One clear Mac/Windows policy, stated early (which Mac, what cost)
A live chat moderator clearing answerable questions in real time — most of these were answerable
Link discipline at the close — ready, pinned, single; no competing report link
VIP-day pre-brief for paid buyers
Post-webinar replay/cart engine ON — the root cause (see §broke / §next)
Email-by-Email Performance (for the copy team)
Every send, sorted by click rate — the honest signal. (Opens run high from privacy auto-opens; clicks are what the copy actually drove.) Replay sends are live and still climbing.

The copy lesson: the big-idea curiosity subjects ("$1.8 billion," "Steve Jobs," "Paul Graham") won the open (60–65%) but lost the click (0.3–0.4%) — attention without a reason to act. The personal/direct ones ("Elise — tomorrow?", "rockstar Monday / intern Tuesday") drove the most clicks, and the registrant confirmation ("Details + Bonuses") hit 22% click — warm people click hard when given a concrete reason. Lever: stronger, clearer CTAs on the high-open emails.
4 · The Pool Question (Ashley's hypothesis)
"Did we start with a much smaller pool — and leave segments un-mailed?" The data partly confirms it, with one correction.
The two real leaks (corrected by the email data)
List reached
~12,300
~1/3 of 37K house list

50% (page converted)
Registrants vs C1
790 vs 1,253
−37%
Not mainly a "small pool" problem. ~12,300 were emailed and opened well (59%). Two fixable leaks: (1) only ~1/3 of the 37K house list was reached, and (2) email click-through was 1.2% — opens didn't convert to clicks. The opt-in page itself converted great (50%) — the gap was getting people to it.
Where the 1,580 opt-in sessions came from (GA4)
📧 Email — warm house list63%
💰 Paid ads — FB / IG / Audience Net24%
📣 Organic social — FB shares8%
Direct / referral / search5%
Cold-vs-warm, settled: primarily warm — 63% came from the email list, only ~24% from paid ads (~386 sessions → ~190 regs), and that paid slice is likely part retargeting (warm) given the heavy "add to fb" tagging. A warm, list-driven launch with a modest paid layer — not a cold-traffic play.
Still open: within the 24% paid, the cold-prospecting vs warm-retargeting split needs Meta campaign data NEEDS DATA; and exact reg-email send/suppression audience (the Zenith closed-cart question) needs the GHL CSV.
Email reach vs past webinars (Mailgun)
AAG / Force Multiplier (Jun 3)~12,300
AI Imprint (May 21)~12,100
37K house list — fully reachable37,000
We did NOT email fewer people than last time. AAG (~12,300) ≈ AI Imprint (~12,100) — both reached ~⅓ of the 37K list (the normal SP pattern). So the reg gap vs C1 (790 vs 1,253) isn't under-mailing — it's that C1 had 163 affiliates driving traffic and C2 was house-list-only, plus the 1.2% click-through. The other ⅔ of the list is the untapped lever. NOTE ZenithMind-April reach is unavailable (Mailgun ~30-day event retention).
5 · Where It Broke — and the Opportunity
The break (verified in GHL)
Replay — was OFF through the window; a single all-non-buyers replay started today, but the segmented sequences (attended / no-show / VIP) still aren't built
No Cart-Close sequence (7 emails to Jun 15)
No Checkout-Abandoner sequence
No Encore send / Q&A invite
Pre-webinar nurture, reg, VIP & purchase webhooks — all live
Every other SP webinar (ZenithMind, AI Imprint, Maximum Profit) has these post-webinar sequences published. For FM C2, none exist. The team's own June-2 tracker corroborates: replay "in progress," cart-close "not started," 4 of 17 pages live.
The opportunity (cart open → Jun 15)
71% of C1's revenue came AFTER the webinar. That window is live right now and the warmest, highest-intent people (57 VIP buyers, 102 >$1k spenders, 268 prior buyers) have not been asked once.

6 · What Else We Should Be Tracking
Beyond # and conversion %, these are the metrics that explain why — and the ones we're still missing for this report.
Have it (in this dashboard)
Registrants, show rate, VIP take, core conversion
Audience warmth (buyer / engaged / new) — context for every %
High-value mix (>$1k spenders, prior buyers)
Prior-program overlap (list recycling / fatigue)
Pool size vs prior cohort (penetration)
VIP intent rate (leading signal of a willing room)
Cold-prospecting vs warm-retargeting split within the 24% paid traffic — needs Meta campaign-level data to know how much was true new acquisition.
Webinar chat + spoken transcript — NOT in the Zoom reports (those are attendance/Q&A only). Pull the chat .txt + audio transcript from the Zoom cloud recording for objection/sentiment mining.
Whop checkout completion check — 46 reached checkout, 0 finished; QA the live buy path.
Reg-email send audience — who was mailed vs suppressed (proves the pool/exclusion question)
Ad spend + true source — for CPA, cost/registrant, and real cold-vs-warm split
Revenue per registrant / per attendee — once recovery sales land
Replay views + replay→sale — the 71% engine, once it's on
✅ Recommendations & Next Steps
The synthesis of every layer — and the decisions that need a call. This is the "what do we do now."
The verdict: across email, traffic, attendance, retention, chat, and the funnel, the story is consistent — a deployment + friction failure on a warm, high-desire room, not a demand, audience, or offer problem. 83% warm · 277 peak / 159-min watch · "I'm IN!!" in chat — but the post-webinar engine was off, the reg page blocked existing buyers, and live objections went unanswered. So the play is recover + remove friction, not rebuild the offer. Cart's open to Jun 15 — most of the recoverable revenue is still on the table.
🟢 Recover THIS cohort (now → Jun 15)
Keep the replay firing + build the segmented sequences — a single all-non-buyers replay is live; the attended/no-show/VIP segments (higher-converting) aren't built yet. The 71%-of-revenue lever.
Fix the reg/checkout page for existing Elite buyers — the named cause of 46 checkout → 0 sales
Email the other ~⅔ of the 37K list — the biggest untapped replay traffic
Answer the 3 objections in replay copy — the Windows path, Elite→FM, solo/agency fit
Run a Q&A / book-a-call for non-buyers — C1's single biggest replay lever
Add payment flexibility — for the cash-flow-timing barrier the survey surfaced
🔵 Build for next cohort (C3)
Re-add affiliates — biggest reg-volume lever (C1: 163; C2: 0)
Deploy + QA the post-webinar engine BEFORE go-live — the root cause; make it a hard launch gate
Fire the replay the moment the webinar ends + drop the buy link early — this time the link first appeared at 2h45m of a 3h21m webinar and the replay went out next-day; both should be immediate next time
Build the Elite→FM upgrade path into the page — let existing buyers apply their purchase
Fix email click-through (1.2%) — opens are strong; rewrite CTAs to earn the click
Add solo / agency / multi-business fit tracks — the recurring "does this fit me?" gap
Resolve + clearly position Mac vs Windows — the hard tech blocker
Add an FM sales feed to the command center — so a $0 day is caught live, not after
🔴 Decisions — Ashley's call for now (Rich just leads the webinar):
Cart extension? The replay + cart-close engine was off during the live window — only a manual single replay went out the next day (Jun 4); the segmented + cart-close sequences still aren't built. The real recovery engine never ran when it should have — right after the webinar. A short extension is worth it so a proper engine has time to work; watch recovery pace into the final days.
Mac vs Windows — support Windows officially, or stay Mac-only and price/position around it?
Affiliates for C3 — reactivate the 163, and on what terms?
Offer structure for the time/capacity barrier — add done-with-you / paced delivery to answer "I have no time to implement what I already bought"?
