  • · Close the City / state / diaspora gap — it is the lowest normalized input at 22.4.
  • · Stand up 3 recurring franchises around the 7 home dates (pre / live / post).
  • · Build a Columbus/OH civic lane — local commerce converts before national does.
Days 61–90 · Monetize
  • · Package 13 events into a season sponsor tier at the modeled band.
  • · Route athlete-channel inventory into the shared rev-share ledger.
  • · Re-score at day 90; target +0.4 TVS on the next pull.
