Launch checklist: AfterAir 0.1.0 beta

A short checklist for an operator before selling a first show-notes pack. Tick each box honestly; unticked boxes are reasons to wait.

Check the kit works on your machine

[ ] node --test source/test.mjs passes on a clean extract of the ZIP (Node 20 verified; Node 18+ is not verified)
[ ] OPEN-ME-AfterAir.html opens from your disk with no internet, loads the sample and builds four outputs
[ ] Try your own episode: SSN-like and card-like text is rejected with the field named; chapter lines the tool cannot read are listed, not guessed; with no times, chapter-markers.txt shows [TIME NEEDED] and no times
[ ] The downloaded files contain no tool branding (unless you ticked the credit box)

[ ] You have chosen your own studio name and searched the web for conflicts. Do not sell under "AfterAir", and pick a name clearly different from episodepack.com
[ ] You read BUSINESS-PLAN.md and ECONOMICS.md and know the cheaper alternatives (a $36 human writer, free AI tools, host add-ons) and can say what you do differently
[ ] You know your own hourly rate and the price at which you break even (ECONOMICS.md)
[ ] Your outreach follows the rules of the channel and, for email, CAN-SPAM basics (real sender, postal address if sending as a business, an easy opt-out). This is general guidance, not legal advice

[ ] The host has agreed in writing that you may paste their transcript into an LLM, if you will (AI-OPERATOR.md), or you will work without one
[ ] You told the host that free tools exist
[ ] You have a timer or a sheet to record your real minutes for every step (PILOT.md)
[ ] You will spot-check each quote and chapter time against the audio before delivery (the economics model allows 35 minutes for this, not a full re-listen)

[ ] At least two of three pilot hosts accepted the pack without major rework
[ ] Your real minutes are within 50% of the model for your case
[ ] The three free pilot episodes passed. Pass line: at least one host says, after hearing the free and cheaper alternatives, that they would pay at least $84 per episode, preferably $99+, for a pack made from a transcript with real time codes (at least $134, preferably $149+, without real time codes); $79 is not a pass. Caveat: $84 breaks even only if the 5% outreach-conversion assumption holds; at 2% conversion the with-time-codes break-even is about $115.
[ ] You have a simple written scope (a template is in PILOT.md): what you deliver, how fast, how many revisions, and what you decline (medical advice, guaranteed rankings)
[ ] You know how you will take payment and report income where you live. BotMyBiz does not take payment for this kit
