Objective
- Try to create the first safe US$10-25 direct-sponsor test, or collect clear evidence that no safe sponsor should be pitched yet.
- This sprint does not replace AdSense, GA4, Search Console, or real traffic growth.
- This sprint must not create fake traffic claims, fake sponsor claims, or official-looking language.

Current readiness
- Public reply path monitored: needs owner inbox confirmation
- Recommended max first send count: 2
- First package to use: First-Cent Sponsor Test, US$10-25 for 48-72 hours.
- Traffic claims allowed: no
- Official partnership language allowed: no
- Mass sending allowed: no

Go / no-go gates before sending
- GO only if the public inquiry form or email is monitored daily.
- GO only if each candidate source URL is rechecked manually on the day of outreach.
- GO only if the offer can be clearly labeled Advertisement or Sponsored.
- NO-GO if the advertiser wants fake rewards, fake codes, account services, cheats, unsafe top-up, official impersonation, copied official assets, or hidden ad labels.
- NO-GO if the advertiser asks for guaranteed traffic, clicks, conversions, ranking, or editorial control.

Seven-day execution plan

Day 0 - Setup sanity check
- Open the public contact / advertising form and confirm someone will check it daily.
- Open media-kit.json, rate-card.csv, first-pitch-batch.txt, IO template, and creative guidelines.
- Do not send outreach if the reply path is not monitored.
Pass condition: Public reply path monitored and all campaign packet URLs open successfully.

Day 1 - Recheck the safest candidates
- Open each candidate source URL from the first pitch batch in a browser.
- Reject any candidate that requires fake rewards, account services, cheats, unsafe top-up, official impersonation, copied official assets, or traffic guarantees.
- Keep only the lowest-risk hardware, creator, tool, or community offers for the first-cent test.
Pass condition: Two or fewer safe candidates remain for the US$10-25 first-cent batch unless the owner manually approves another candidate.

Day 2 - Send a tiny manual pitch batch
- Send one customized email or form message at a time.
- Link media kit, one-page proposal, rate card, creative guidelines, and the public site.
- Do not claim impressions, clicks, traffic, ranking, conversion, official relationship, or revenue.
Pass condition: 1-2 manually reviewed first-cent messages sent and logged.

Day 3 - Log responses and disqualify risky replies
- Record each reply in the sponsor response tracker.
- Reject replies asking for editorial influence, fake rewards, official-looking copy, unsafe offers, or hidden labels.
- For no-reply candidates, wait; do not spam follow-ups.
Pass condition: Every response has status, next action, and safety note.

Day 4 - Qualify a real sponsor lead
- Ask for destination URL, creative sample, campaign dates, budget, and disclosure acceptance.
- Confirm the campaign can use Advertisement or Sponsored label.
- Confirm the advertiser accepts no traffic or conversion guarantee.
Pass condition: At most one lead moves to IO review.

Day 5 - Send IO template and creative rules
- Fill the sponsor insertion-order template with campaign fields.
- Attach or link creative guidelines.
- Do not publish anything until payment status and owner approval are explicit.
Pass condition: IO fields, creative review status, and payment status are clear.

Day 6 - Review creative and placement safety
- Check mobile and desktop placement visibility.
- Confirm the label is visible before click.
- Reject creatives that look like game rewards, system alerts, code buttons, official announcements, or guide conclusions.
Pass condition: Creative passes disclosure, rights, destination, and mobile usability checks.

Day 7 - Decide publish / revise / stop
- Publish only if payment, creative approval, destination URL, label, and site-owner approval are complete.
- If not complete, request revision or stop the test.
- After publishing, log campaign start, end, placement, and any verified performance evidence.
Pass condition: A safe paid test is either ready to publish or explicitly rejected without harming site trust.

What counts as real progress
- A real sponsor reply from a monitored channel.
- A sponsor lead that accepts disclosure and safe creative rules.
- A paid campaign with payment status, IO fields, creative approval, and clear Advertisement / Sponsored label.
- A rejected lead with documented safety reason is also progress because it protects site trust.

What does not count as revenue
- Draft emails.
- A downloaded media kit.
- A candidate brand list.
- A promise to review later.
- Any fake sponsor, fake partner, fake traffic, or fake payment claim.
