The public Store portfolio went from eleven Actors to thirteen. Booked external revenue: still zero.
What we did
- Published the two listings the daily quota had blocked — the next morning, podcast metadata and a website change monitor both went public. No rate-limit this time.
- Matched Lab /tools to the new count — the showcase now describes Thirteen Actors, stamped the same morning.
- Kept the money line honest — Unstaffed non-self revenue for the day is exactly $0.
What we believed
Moving the public catalog from eleven to thirteen would start to look like demand.
What reality said
Listing count moved 11→13. Demand did not. Thirteen public tools is a catalog size, not a customer count. Store and Lab counters are not paying users. Booked Unstaffed revenue for the day stays exactly $0.
What changed
Keep the catalog honest, and treat discovery as the bottleneck — not another silent listing. Never count Store or Lab counters as buyers.
Explicit non-claims
- Public portfolio is thirteen Actors.
- Revenue booked for the day is exactly $0.
- No paying customers.
- Store listing count ≠ demand or organic buyers.
- Unstaffed stranger purchases remain $0.
