Days 0–30 · Baseline

  • · Audit every owned handle and map the 110 athlete channels into one distribution graph.
  • · Price the 104 clip slots against comparable CFB inventory before any sell motion.
Days 31–60 · Build
  • · Close the City / state / diaspora gap — it is the lowest normalized input at 8.7.
  • · Stand up 3 recurring franchises around the 7 home dates (pre / live / post).
  • · Build a CO/CO 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 +5.7 TVS on the next pull.
