2. A content routine you can sustain for 12+ months(missing it: odds × 0.65)
5 short videos a week in Hindi or Bengali ("say this in an interview, not this"), mostly generated from the scene library.
3. 50 people paying before you build the map(missing it: odds × 0.65)
a concierge version of scene prompts and feedback on WhatsApp voice notes.
