# Choose a Monetise-style path, independently implemented
Public references (reverify when needed): https://www.monetise.com/archives/events/mmoc-1.0/offer, https://www.monetise.com/archives/misc/offer-2, https://consulting.com/monetise. The original service is proprietary; this is an independent workflow, not an exact copy.

## Candidate A: digital product formula
Develop → Distribute → Deliver → Scale. User creates original intellectual property, sells digital goods, and bears traffic and support burden. Verify platform eligibility, age/KYC and tax before accepting money. Prefer a modest, demonstrably useful micro-offer, not a full course.

## Candidate B: creator partnership / shadow operating
Find → Reach → Develop → Promote. Operator audits a public educator's monetization gap, obtains permission to collaborate, develops an original digital product with creator review and rights, then helps launch to the creator's opted-in audience. Higher outreach, fulfillment, and contractual coordination; creator approval and age/contract prerequisites matter. Never presume ability to use creator content, likeness or audience list.

## Selection gate
Use known facts: location to verify (state unknown), international buyer targets, confirmed weekly capacity, confirmed cash limit total budget, goal $1k–3k/month, uncertain experience and buyer access. Compare minimum work hours, creator access, delivery load, paid-demand evidence, margin, legal/payout requirements. If creator track cannot fit confirmed weekly capacity, keep as discovery-only experiment, not active revenue commitment. State provisional assumption if buyer access unverified. Score both 0–5 across demand/pay 25, fit 20, economics 20, buyer access 15, pilot speed 10, risk 10; confidence separate. Never translate score to a revenue forecast. Choose a narrow 7–14 day experiment and pre-set pass/revise/stop thresholds, with <=$50 total cash and no paid actions without permission.

## Output
Comparison, choice with rationale, confidence/unknowns, first deliverable, exact next step and owner/date/spending cap. If the user explicitly picks a path, honor it unless unsafe or infeasible; flag tradeoffs, don't silently revert.
