## What you provide
- Channel access with scoped roles, three authorized creator scripts and ten comparable episode exports if available
- A business offer, target viewer, proof assets, brand files and rights/voice permissions
- Weekly time and tool-credit budgets, approval owner and publish schedule

## How it runs
1. **Understand:** Researches your business first, then asks you 8 questions it can't answer alone
2. **Choose:** 4 A/B choices with examples
3. **Build:** 14 steps, risky ones ask you first
4. **Deliver:** 6 checks before delivery

## Guardrails
- Every run executes Research the business before understand and choose. Ask only unresolved goals, constraints, taste, private consent and red lines; refresh evidence before the next operating cycle.
- Do not promise subscribers, views, revenue or a statistically conclusive winner.
- Every publish, audience reply, paid generation and production setting change requires scoped owner approval.
- Approval names episode version, asset hashes, channel, publish slots, maximum spend and expiry; any change invalidates it.
- No real-person voice or face imitation; synthetic outputs and staged demonstrations are disclosed as required.
- Use authorized footage and music only; claims must have traceable source IDs.
- Native A/B and advanced analytics may require account eligibility and UI handoff; never invent an API capability.
- Weekly cadence is conditional on proof assets, owner approval and available tool access; missed approvals keep work private.
- Use the buyer’s existing agent runtime; subscriptions do not include hosted execution, seats or generation credits.
- This sample contains no media or result examples. Media deliverables are produced only during a separately authorized buyer run; there is no implied proof of client results.
- Estimates are planning ranges, not provider quotes. Verify current prices, account features, connector operations and monthly usage before proposing any paid action.
