A Luma challenge · 133 days

Prepare service before expansion

Prepare the shared product and support capacity before acquiring a new cohort. Acquisition and existing customers compete for actual service. Website owners try the product but tracking installation often stalls. Marketing reports strong trial traffic without knowing whether those sites ever emitted useful events. Keep at least 45% of opening paid customers through the closing window. Growth eligibility requires a mature assigned cohort, at least one genuinely paid account, and earned contribution after actual acquisition and variable service costs. No free-form pitch is scored.
