How the business works
- Customers
- People facing a recurring problem. Identify their current alternative and why they would switch.
- Offer
- A small tool with a visible output, or focused decision-support content. A website is the delivery format, not the business model.
- Revenue
- Pay-per-use, subscriptions, digital products, ads and affiliate referrals are distinct routes. Pick one. Existing revenue reports are author claims, not forecasts for a new site.
- Acquisition
- Record user questions and current search results, then build a page showing the outcome. Use target-user feedback to decide next steps; launching does not create search traffic automatically.
Define the cost before starting
Pilot: a static example for one task. Month one: one website and a defined usage volume. Track domain, hosting, APIs, processing fees and maintenance separately.
| Cost | What to record | Current evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Learning | On-site content and external tutorials | Free here; check each external resource |
| Execution | Tools, APIs, assets, equipment and retries | Not checked; not assumed zero |
| Operations | Production, acquisition, delivery, refunds and maintenance | Requires a stated volume and actual records |
Separate existing-subscription incremental spend from a new-user budget, and annual payments from monthly allocations and labor time.
Build a cost worksheet ↗Your first step today
Write down one audience, one task, the current alternative and your improvement. Test a static example with target users before adding model calls, payments or accounts.
Define your pilot and budgetAfterward record the output, spending, hours and failures. Production success and customer demand are separate outcomes.

When to reconsider
Trends may be short-lived, and competition and payment conditions change. Maintenance, API usage, acquisition and refunds affect profit. Revisit the problem if demand or willingness to pay is absent.
