marketinque — launch plan & backlink index

Which mode this connection is in — anonymous (read-only) or a project — and what that unlocks.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {}
}

Put the founder on the marketinque waitlist for a project (the idea queue, kit, dossier, signals, nightly routine — free for now, opening by waitlist). Call ONLY after the founder gave you their email and said yes in this session; `confirmed` attests that. One email, no spam; they can unsubscribe from any mail.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "email": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 254,
      "description": "The founder’s email, as they gave it."
    },
    "product_url": {
      "description": "Their product, so the invitation can refer to it.",
      "type": "string",
      "format": "uri"
    },
    "confirmed": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "True only if the founder explicitly agreed to join, in this session."

}

The launch plan. With no `node`: the outline — phases and objectives with step counts. With `node` (a phase or objective slug): every step under it, with status and whether it is unlocked. Anonymous callers pass `done`/`not_applicable`/`traits`; a project uses its own.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "node": {
      "description": "A phase or objective slug from the outline, e.g. \"p2\" or \"p2-dr-assets\".",

}

One plan step in full: title, detail, the target URL where it happens, the play it follows, the prerequisite slugs and whether they are met (unlocked), how it verifies (self, evidence URL or an automatic signal), minutes and cost, and founder_steps when part of the step is the founder’s own (an account, a handle): the exact page and what to do there, to hand over rather than do. Read it before working a step that next_steps or get_plan returned; the slug comes from those. Read-only; no side effects.

The next unlocked, unstarted steps in tree order, and a sprint packed into `minutes`. Anonymous callers pass `done`/`not_applicable` (from marketinque.json) and `traits`; a project uses its own.

Places that give a startup a backlink, one phase at a time in the order that works. Default phase bl-sprint: the 95 free, dofollow, page-scoped, graded rows. Each row carries its submission page (or where to find it) and, for a project, the listing already recorded.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "phase": {
      "description": "bl-sprint (default) · bl-reach (free, nofollow/host-scoped) · bl-paid · bl-optional · bl-tail",

}

One directory from the index: domain rating, dofollow, price, category, the submission page URL (or where to look for it), account_required (the page redirected to a sign-in when probed — most rows want a sign-in at submit anyway), founder_fills (a form an agent cannot drive), the note from the last session that worked it, and — for a project — the outcome already recorded. Read the note before opening the page. Read-only.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "slug": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The catalog slug, e.g. \"saashub\"."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "slug"
  ],
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}

What every directory form asks for, written once. A project returns its product profile and brand dossier plus the state of the five kit steps; anonymous callers get the five steps to draft from the product site.
