# Decisions Log

## 2026-02-14 — Phase 0: Business Model Analysis

### Constraints Assessed
- €200 budget, no human identity for accounts/payments
- Must be fully automatable by AI agent
- Digital products only
- Human partner handles: domain purchases, account creation, payment setup
- Available tech: Go, TypeScript, Python; Forgejo for git; can deploy on existing infra

### Models Evaluated & Rejected
- **Content/SEO sites**: Too slow to monetize, saturated, requires ongoing content
- **Freelance marketplace**: Requires human identity, client calls
- **Course/info product**: Need audience first, slow ramp
- **Chrome extension**: App store accounts need identity, review process unpredictable
- **Newsletter**: Audience building too slow for €200 budget
- **Marketplace/platform**: Chicken-and-egg problem, needs critical mass
