If you cannot produce the file, work does not start
Day 0 is a gate, not a welcome brunch.
We ask for entity documents, named team, product evidence, token status, security posture, legal posture, audience, brand, budget and named approvers. Then we lock objectives, geographies, owners, response-time SLA and exclusions. If those cannot be produced, we do not start the clock and “see how it goes.” How it goes is folklore.
Intake, condensed for ICO-intent
The screen already prefers live, testnet or pilot. Kick-off enforces it.
- Entity
- Incorporated or in progress. Not a handle.
- Team
- Named founder who can decide budget and messaging.
- Product
- URL, explorer, repo, or equivalent artefact.
- Token
- None, designed, live, or already raising — told honestly.
- Security
- Independent review complete or booked.
- Legal
- Counsel engaged or identified. We will not be your counsel.
- Audience
- Named geographies. Global retail is a flag.
- Approvers
- Humans with calendars. Forty-eight hours on claims. Twenty-four to takedown.
