Pre-launch (Sept 13–14) — before you spend a cent

Setup checklist $0 spend
Claire Falcon

Confirm pixel is installed and firing on Systeme.io funnel pages. Create or verify a separate Meta ad account for Claire Falcon. Upload Soul Growth Summit email list as custom audience for lookalike seeding. Set up UTM parameters to track paid versus organic leads in Kit/Systeme.

Claude Foundations

Install a new, separate pixel on Claude Foundations funnel pages. Create a separate Meta ad account under the same Business Manager. No custom audience to upload — this starts from zero. Set up UTM tracking to separate paid from organic in Kit/Systeme.

Creative production sprint

Produce 8–10 ads per campaign (see creative section below). Each campaign needs 4 distinct copy angles with 2 visual treatments each. Static images, text-heavy graphics, and video if possible. This is the bottleneck — everything else is ready. Ads cannot launch without creative.

Phase 1 — Launch and learn Weeks 1–3 · Sept 15 – Oct 5
Week 1 — both campaigns go live $35/day · $245 total
Claire Falcon — $20/day

One campaign. One ad set. 8–10 ads inside. Controls: location only (UK, US, Canada, Australia, Ireland). Suggested audience: SGS lookalike + 1–2 interest signals (spirituality, intuition, dream interpretation). Conversion objective: leads (opt-in). Let Meta distribute spend across creatives. Do not touch anything for 7 days — the pixel needs uninterrupted learning time.

Claude Foundations — $15/day

One campaign. One ad set. 8–10 ads inside. Controls: location only (same countries). Suggested audience: 1–2 interest signals (online business, course creators, AI tools, digital entrepreneurship). No custom audience — there isn't one yet. Conversion objective: leads. Same rule: do not touch for 7 days.

Watch only — do not optimize

Check stats once daily at most. You're looking at delivery (are ads spending?) and CPL trend (is it moving downward?). Do not pause ads, change budgets, or edit creative during week 1. Meta is learning. Interference resets the learning phase.

Week 2 — first data review $35/day · $245 total · Running: $490
Day 14 checkpoint — both campaigns

Review CPL across all ads. Are any consistently below $3? Those are winners — leave them alone. Are any above $7 with significant spend? Those are underperformers — pause them. Review landing page conversion rate in Systeme.io. Target: 25%+ for workshop, 35%+ for guide/quiz. If landing page is below 20%, stop ads and fix the page before continuing. Check total leads generated — you should have 35–50 across both campaigns.

Revenue expected: $0. This is normal. Leads from week 1 are just entering the email sequence. The fastest buyers are still 7–10 days from purchase.

Week 3 — Claude Foundations pixel review $35/day · $245 total · Running: $735
Claude Foundations scaling decision

The CF pixel now has approximately 45–50 leads of data. If CPL is at or below $5 and landing page conversion is above 20%, scale Claude Foundations from $15/day to $20/day. Increase in a single move, not gradually — at this budget level, $5 increments are fine. If CPL is above $6, do not scale. Refresh the weakest 2–3 creatives with new variations and give it another week.

Claire Falcon — hold steady

Claire Falcon stays at $20/day. She's accumulating leads and the pixel is learning. Don't scale yet — wait for the first IA sale to fund the increase.

Add 2–3 new creatives to each campaign

First creative refresh. Not replacing winners — adding alongside them. Use the Creative Testing Tool at the ad level so new creatives get fair exposure against established performers. Change comparison metric from post engagement to cost per lead.

Revenue: possibly one fast-mover IA sale ($997) from week 1 leads. If it arrives, immediately scale Claire Falcon to $25/day. This is the trigger rule in action.

End of Phase 1 checkpoint — $735 spent

Both campaigns have exited learning phase. You have 14 days of data on CPL, landing page conversion, and creative performance. You know which ads are working and which need replacing. Claude Foundations has enough pixel data to scale. Claire Falcon may have generated first revenue.

If both campaigns show CPL under $5 and landing page conversion above 20%: proceed to Phase 2. If either campaign is struggling: fix the specific problem (creative, landing page, or targeting signal) before increasing spend.

Phase 2 — Scale and start earning Weeks 4–8 · Oct 6 – Nov 9
Week 4 — scaling begins $40–45/day · $280–315 · Running: ~$1,015–$1,050
Claude Foundations — $20–25/day

Pixel has 60–70+ leads. Scale to $20/day if you haven't already, or to $25/day if week 3 data was strong. The algorithm is now learning from real audience data, not guessing.

Claire Falcon — $20 or $25/day (IA-sale dependent)

If first IA sale has arrived: you're at $25/day, funded by revenue. If not yet: stay at $20/day. It's coming — the email sequence is doing its work. Don't panic-scale or panic-cut.

This is the peak cash exposure point. You've spent roughly $1,000–$1,050 and revenue is $0–$997. From here, the gap closes every week as sales begin arriving.

Weeks 5–6 — first revenue wave $45–50/day · Running: ~$1,600–$1,750
Revenue starts flowing

Week 1 and 2 leads have now completed the full email sequence. At 2% conversion: 1–3 IA sales ($997–$2,991) and 0–1 CF sales ($0–$497). Total revenue arriving: $997–$3,488. The gap between spend and revenue is closing or already closed.

Claire Falcon scaling triggers

First IA sale (if not already): scale CF to $25/day. Second IA sale: scale to $30/day. This is Claire Falcon's cruising altitude. The system earned its way there — you didn't fund it.

Second creative refresh — add 3–4 new ads per campaign

You should now have 12–14 ads per campaign. New angles informed by which initial ads performed best. If the identity-challenge angle is winning for Claire Falcon, create variations. If the empathy angle is winning for Claude Foundations, double down with new visual treatments.

Weeks 7–8 — system self-funding $50–55/day · System paying for itself
Cruising altitude reached

Both campaigns at full speed. Claire Falcon at $25–30/day. Claude Foundations at $25/day. Monthly revenue now exceeds monthly spend. Combined: ~$6,473/month in, ~$1,650/month out. Net profit: ~$4,823/month.

Lovable beta launch to Claude Foundations list

The CF email list now has 200–250 subscribers who opted in for an AI workshop. These are the exact people who would want Lovable. Send a beta launch sequence: limited spots, founding member pricing, real feedback loop. Beta framing creates genuine scarcity. Revenue from beta sales is pure upside — no additional ad spend needed.

CEO Toolkit cross-sell begins

Both email lists now have enough subscribers for cross-pollination. Add a Toolkit-focused email to both sequences for subscribers who match the profile (spiritual + business-oriented on CF list, AI-curious + business owner on Claude list). No ad spend. Pure email play.

Third creative refresh — add 3–4 more ads per campaign. Target: 15–18 ads per campaign by end of week 8.

End of Phase 2 checkpoint — system is profitable

Combined email list: 500–700 people across both strands. Both funnels proven. CPL known. Conversion rate known. Monthly revenue exceeds monthly spend. You haven't spent any additional money from your pocket since week 4. Everything from here is funded by the machine.

Critical BF prep: your Claire Falcon BF campaign (which you've run for 3 years) now has a significantly larger warm audience than any previous year. Every subscriber who entered since September 15 is a warm BF prospect.

Phase 3 — BF harvest + permanent infrastructure Weeks 9–13 · Nov 10 – Dec 13
Weeks 9–10 — BF preparation $55/day · evergreen continues
Evergreen keeps running — do not pause for BF

The evergreen campaigns continue as normal. Every lead who enters this week still has 2–3 weeks before BF — enough for initial nurturing. Leads from earlier weeks are deeply warmed. Do not redirect evergreen budget to BF — they serve different functions.

BF campaign preparation

Finalize BF offers across all strands. Claire Falcon's BF campaign is already built from three years of running it. The new variable is the larger warm audience from the evergreen system. Prepare BF email sequences for both the CF and Claude Foundations lists. Toolkit BF offer goes to warm subscribers from both lists via email — no additional ad spend.

Final creative refresh — add 2–3 fresh ads per campaign. Target: approaching 20 ads per campaign. Gemma has 21.

Weeks 11–12 — Black Friday week (Nov 24–30) Evergreen $55/day + BF email sequences
The harvest

BF email sequences fire to the entire combined list (800–1,000+ subscribers across both strands). Claire Falcon's existing BF campaign runs as it always has — but to a larger audience. Claude Foundations BF offer (special pricing, bonus, or bundle) goes to the CF list. Toolkit BF offer goes to the intersection: subscribers on both lists, or subscribers who engaged with Toolkit-related content.

At 5% conversion on warm subscribers: 40–50 BF sales across all offers. This is pure upside on top of the evergreen baseline revenue that continues during the same period.

Optional: increase daily ad spend during BF week

If budget allows and evergreen is performing well, consider temporarily boosting to $40/day on Claire Falcon with urgency-driven creative ("last chance" / "closes tonight"). Only if the evergreen campaign is already proven and CPL is stable. This is aggressive and optional — not required for BF to work.

Week 13 — December cool-down $55/day · back to evergreen baseline
The sprint is over. The system isn't.

BF is complete. Return to normal evergreen operations. Both campaigns continue at cruising altitude. The 13-week sprint window closes but the infrastructure remains. From here: maintain the $55/day system, refresh creative every 3–4 weeks, monitor CPL and conversion, and let the machine run.

Review the full 13-week data: total ad spend, total revenue, total leads, actual CPL, actual conversion rate per strand. Compare to projections. Use this data to plan the Q1 2027 budget and any adjustments to the system.

Scaling triggers — the rules that govern budget increases

Budget increases are triggered by revenue, not by hope. The system earns its way to cruising altitude.

When: 1st IA sale arrives ($997)
Scale Claire Falcon → $25/day
Sale funds the increase. Revenue-backed, not speculative.
When: 2nd IA sale arrives ($997)
Scale Claire Falcon → $30/day
Cruising altitude. Claire Falcon at Melissa's algorithm threshold.
When: CF pixel has 50+ leads (~week 3)
Scale Claude Foundations → $20/day
Pixel has enough data to optimize. No longer spending into fog.
When: CPL is under $5 and LP conversion above 20%
Scale Claude Foundations → $25/day
Funnel is proven. Math works. Safe to accelerate.

Hard stops — Melissa's rules. Non-negotiable.

If CPL drifts above $6 → refresh creatives. Do not increase spend.

If landing page conversion drops below 20% → pause ads and fix the page.

If conversion rate drops below 1.5% → audit the email sequence.

If workshop watch rate falls below 20% → improve the reminder emails.

If the math stops working → fix the funnel. Never spend your way out.

Creative production — what to build before launch

4 copy angles per campaign × 2 visual treatments each = 8–10 ads per campaign at launch. This is the minimum for Meta to personalise delivery. Build to 20 through bi-weekly refreshes.

Claire Falcon — Angle 1
The awakening hook
Speaks to someone who knows their intuition is trying to tell them something but can't hear it clearly. "You wake from a dream that stays with you all day..."
Claire Falcon — Angle 2
The dream hook
Speaks to vivid dreamers who want understanding. Dreams as the entry point to intuition development. Mystical, evocative, personal.
Claire Falcon — Angle 3
The transformation hook
For someone doing spiritual work but feeling stuck or disconnected. "You've been meditating for years but something still feels blocked..."
Claire Falcon — Angle 4
The authority / access hook
Expert positioning. "Most people approach intuition development backwards. Here's what 20 years of psychic mediumship taught me..."
Claude Foundations — Angle 1
Think before you prompt
Positions against speed-and-shortcuts crowd. "Everyone's teaching you to use AI faster. Nobody's teaching you to use it better." Differentiator in a saturated market.
Claude Foundations — Angle 2
Infrastructure, not tips
"You've watched 50 tutorials and you still start every conversation the same way." Names the gap between consuming content and building real capability.
Claude Foundations — Angle 3
Educators, not influencers
Credentials, curriculum design, depth. "Built by actual educators with decades of classroom experience — not someone who discovered AI last year."
Claude Foundations — Angle 4
Human-first AI
Especially relevant post negative press. "AI should amplify your thinking, not replace it." Positions against the replacement narrative. Ethics woven in, not bolted on.

Each angle gets two visual treatments: one static image (photo of you, or text-on-background graphic) and one alternative format (video, carousel, different photo setting, student testimonial graphic). That's 8 ads per campaign at launch. Add 3–4 new ads every 2–3 weeks through the Creative Testing Tool. By week 6: 15+ per campaign. By week 10: approaching 20.

Harvest on top

The system doesn't stop on December 14. The 13-week sprint was the ignition period. What you built is permanent infrastructure: two evergreen funnels running 24/7, generating leads, producing sales, building your audience — whether you're posting on Instagram or not. The ad spend isn't an expense. It's the operating cost of a machine that produces 3.9x what you put in.

CEO Toolkit continues as an organic and cross-sell play. Lovable lives as a product for the Claude Foundations audience. Black Friday 2027 starts building its warm audience on December 15, automatically, from the same evergreen system.
