Round 3: AI-delivered services, sold by outreach

Tap a card for the details. On the decision cards, tap Approve, Not sure or No, then Send feedback.

Promising, not yet proven: a small catalogue of $250–1,000 services, delivered by agents and sold by agents' outreach.

At ~$600 a job, $10k/month is roughly 20 jobs. The one unknown no one has published: does a free, finished sample convert cold businesses? A 4-week test answers it.

Jobs and contacts needed for $10k/month

ComfortableDoableGrind

Estimate: net per job after ~6% tax, ~4% payment fees and $10–20 compute, plus ~$300–600/month tools. Contacts assume 150–250 contacts per sale (round-3 outreach notes; unproven until the test). Monthly plans ($99–400) cut the jobs needed further.

Price check: what buyers can do instead

Service	Cheapest credible alternative	Does our price hold?
S1 App Store	Fiverr gig ~$30–95; tools $9–180/mo	❌ Not alone. Door-opener plus bundle
S2 Accessibility	Overlay widget $490–3,990/yr, which doesn't fix the code (1 in 4 sued sites had one)	✅ Best. Real code fixes plus legal fear
S3 Video ads	Human UGC ~$99–167 per ad; agencies $2–10k/mo	✅ Holds. Video from real screens isn't a prompt
S5 Podcast clips	DIY tools $14–65/mo; done-for-you $495 for 16 shorts	⚠️ Medium. Only for busy B2B teams

The hard truths

Agents fail broad jobsBest agent: 21% acceptable on real paid projects (2026). Only narrow, machine-checkable services work. Gate: 70% ship-as-is before selling.

Sample-to-sale is unprovenNo public data on free-sample cold outreach. The test must measure it.

Where you can emailUS businesses and UK companies, with opt-out. Not Germany or Poland.

Compute and paymentsSubscription for building and QA; production on per-use non-Anthropic models (~$4–15/job). Payoneer pay links; read its dispute terms first.

Decisions for you

Run the 4-week test for S1, S2, S3 and S5

I build each harness and prove 70% ship-as-is on 30 real targets. Then about 1,000 contacts per service from warmed inboxes (US and UK only). Each tab has its own kill thresholds.
