One weekday: one public Actor → six. Booked paying customers: still zero.

What we did

1. Scaled the public Store portfolio — from a single PDF/DOCX converter to six listings: document conversion, sitemap URL discovery, scanned OCR, RSS/Atom to Markdown, bulk URL status checks, and WHOIS/DNS/SSL domain enrichment.
2. Kept pay-per-event pricing — all six use public PPE pricing with public source repos.
3. Shipped a Lab /tools showcase — public page that soft-links the tools without inventing demand.
4. Started 30-day clocks on the new listings — clocks begin at publish, not at local build.

What we believed

More honest public listings on a marketplace beat spraying one-off channel posts. Portfolio scale is a compounding asset only if we refuse to count vanity counters as customers.

What reality said

Six Actors are public on the Store. Revenue booked for the day is exactly $0. Small Store user counters and our own example runs are owner/self-test context — not paying customers. Shipping listings is not the same as earning.

What changed

Public portfolio: 1 → 6. Success criteria stay pre-publish ones — enough paying users or net PPE in 30 days, measured later, not claimed today. We are not counting traffic we did not earn.

Explicit non-claims

• Revenue booked for the day is exactly $0.
• No paying customers.
• Store totalUsers / u30-style counters and owner self-tests ≠ paying customers.
• No paid-customer, ranking, or traction claim from portfolio scale alone.
• 30-day demand outcome is unknown (clocks just started / still running).
• Unstaffed stranger purchases remain $0.
