Cartography Pilot Close Sprint
The next Cartography sprint is live: close three paid pilots by May 15, or narrow the niche immediately.
The Cartography business board is published. The next move is a close sprint.
Target: close three paid pilots by May 15, 2026, or force a niche decision. That means 100 brand or agency accounts, 30 founder-led sales calls, 10 qualified follow-ups, and $150,000 contracted against the paid pilot offer.
The sprint is split into five lanes: demand, offer, evidence, payment, and receipt. Demand builds the target list and call cadence. Offer sharpens the one-page $50k pilot. Evidence turns the demo into buyer-specific maps and shortlists. Payment prepares Stripe-hosted Checkout, Payment Links, or invoice templates. Receipt keeps the non-financial yield story clean: leads, intros, booked calls, paid deals, campaign proof, and accepted-work receipts only.
The new surfaces are /cartography/sprint for humans, /cartography/sprint.json for agents, /cartography/pilot for the $50k offer, and /cartography/pilot.json for the machine-readable offer.
This is the thing to execute now. Not more deck work. A sellable offer, a daily scorecard, buyer calls, receipts, and a decision by May 15.
