# Run notes

Fetch date: 2026-10-21 UTC. Every public source has its exact fetch time in evidence.json. Public evidence only; no login, contact, paid data keys or spending.

Brief: you are a hypothetical founder in this product category choosing the first channel, with zero audience and budget. There is no buyer-site URL to fetch; recommendations are conditional on the stated assumptions.

Read Competitor Analyst instructions, REM system, guardrails, report template, SEO, community, founder and funnel playbooks. REM source build and doctor details are recorded in the shared run summary. Channel strength is an analyst summary of observed public surfaces; unknowns stay unknown. All report citation identifiers resolve to evidence.json.

Privacy: public evidence.json retains concise observations and full public URLs instead of whole page dumps, scripts or tracking payloads. Relative route examples are expressed as prose in the public report. No credential values, login headers or fields containing credential assignments are included. No false-positive privacy edits have been needed yet. Raw fetched pages remain private in the task folder.

Capture: a creator-edited recipe is derived from a completed isolated excerpt of the actual Codex subagent session. Inherited parent history and session metadata are omitted; no completion marker or execution model is invented. It is not a byte-for-byte unedited prompt transcript. This is one analyst run covering three reports, rather than three independent agent trials.

REM execution: source built on dedicated Boat Linux machine; npm ci and npm run build succeeded, then doctor and all three --json --no-ai collection runs exited 0. Node v24.18.1, REM v0.1.0. Free sources unlocked website, tags, SEO/sitemaps, AI-crawler stance, Wayback availability, app stores and HN. Paid/social/founder statistics key absent; AI API key absent.

Collector corrections: sitemap URL counts are not verified indexation; sitemap lastmod is not publication cadence. Search-derived founder matches and app identity matches were not promoted to verified facts. Affiliate absence labels are not proof: public footers expose affiliate links. Manual pages fill the Lovable homepage failure and community/founder gaps. HN domain samples do not equal official launches. Wayback availability does not establish historical positioning or same domain owner.

Privacy review adjustment: the contiguous evidence-source list was 2,008 characters and tripped the pasted-content paragraph limit. Added blank lines between evidence bullets in outcome.md only; wording, URLs and the full report artifact are unchanged.
