The threshold is real
If your audience never reaches the subscriber floor, the platform earns nothing and we will eventually need to have a conversation about whether the deployment continues. We would rather set an honest threshold against your actual audience size than a decorative one.
It works on archives, not on ambitions
The engine needs a substantial body of published material to answer from. A handful of videos will not support cited answers or a personal guide. We will tell you if your archive is too thin, before any work starts.
Your audience has to be willing to pay
The whole model rests on end-user subscriptions. An audience that has never paid for anything is a genuine risk, and it is one we would rather size up with you honestly than discover six months in.
