Updated: 2026-05-04T19:52:57.729Z

This pack turns the current warm Reddit workflow-risk queue into an operator-ready send surface. It is evidence-backed acquisition support, not proof of sent outreach or paid revenue.

Subject: Workflow hardening diagnostic

Your question about rollback rates when context changes is exactly the right one. I am looking for one AI-agent workflow to harden end-to-end this week: repeated failure, prevention rule, and proof run. If you have one workflow where context drift or rollback risk keeps showing up, I can harden that workflow for you. Worth a 15-minute diagnostic?

Your ACT-R engram work is fascinating, especially the conflict resolution for opposing facts and the decay model. I am looking for one serious AI-agent workflow to harden end-to-end this week. If your memory system has one recurring failure mode such as stale context, opposing facts, bad handoffs, or unsafe tool calls, I can turn that into a prevention rule and proof run. Open to a 15-minute diagnostic?

Your arch-create to sprint workflow is one of the most mature agent processes I have seen anyone describe. I am looking for one AI-agent workflow to harden end-to-end this week. Your workflow already has phases, review boundaries, and context risk, so it is a strong fit: pick one repeating failure and I will help turn it into an enforceable Pre-Action Check plus proof run. Worth 15 minutes?

Subject: Workflow hardening diagnostic

Appreciate the kind words on the Thompson Sampling approach. You nailed the core insight: most guardrails are brittle prompt hacks that break when context shifts. I am looking for one AI-agent workflow to harden end-to-end this week: repeated failure, prevention rule, and proof run. If you have a workflow where brittle guardrails keep failing, I can harden that workflow with you. Open to a 15-minute diagnostic?

## 90-Day Measurement Plan
- North star: reddit_warm_dm_to_paid_intent
- Policy: Warm Reddit discovery first, proof only after pain confirmation, no fake revenue or install claims.
- Minimum useful signal: One warm Reddit lead moves from targeted to replied with a named workflow failure.
- Strong signal: One warm Reddit lead books a diagnostic or enters sprint intake.
Tracked metrics:
- Warm Reddit DMs sent
- Warm Reddit replies
- Pain-confirmed replies
- Diagnostics booked
- Sprint intakes started
- Paid conversions sourced from Reddit DM
Guardrails:
- Do not claim revenue, installs, or marketplace approval without direct command evidence.
- Do not send proof links before the buyer confirms pain.
- Keep pricing and traction language aligned with COMMERCIAL_TRUTH.md.
- Keep quality and proof language aligned with VERIFICATION_EVIDENCE.md.
Milestones:
- Days 1-30: Turn the existing warm Reddit queue into replied conversations with named workflow pain. Decision rule: If no warm replies arrive, refresh the queue and tighten the first-touch offer instead of widening channels.
- Days 31-60: Book diagnostics or sprint intakes from the warm Reddit lane. Decision rule: If replies arrive but no diagnostics book, rewrite the follow-up and CTA sequence using the buyer language collected.
- Days 61-90: Convert the first warm Reddit workflow into paid revenue or a qualified sprint. Decision rule: If diagnostic demand exists without paid conversion, adjust offer framing before scaling the channel.
Do not count as success:
- Upvotes or replies without pipeline movement
- Proof-link clicks without pain confirmation
- Generic praise that never reaches contacted, replied, or booked stages
