# Sequence A — Day 0 / 1 / 3 / 5 packets

Issue: [SMI-161](https://linear.app/smileing-goats/issue/SMI-161/execute-sequence-a-quiet-close-5-warm-canary-buyers)  
Script: `/demand/quiet-close-sequences.md` · roster: `state/quiet-close-a.json`  
Status: `npm run quiet-close:a`

**Honesty:** Quote only live `GET https://lvlltd.com/api/proof`. Never invent GMV.
Baseline at open (2026-08-27): **unlock_count=2 · volume_usdc=1.04**.

**Who (warm only):** wallets/people who already paid `agent-x402-first-buy` ($0.05)
or `aie-premium-access-token` ($0.99). No cold spray.

## Price gate

| SKU | Target atomic | Send $55/$49/$89 CTA? |
|-----|---------------|------------------------|
| `grant-dominator-v2` | `55000000` | Only if live 402 matches |
| `music-video-release-dominator` | `49000000` | Only if live 402 matches |
| `bundle-cofounder-dominators` | `89000000` | Only if live 402 matches |
| `lvl-agent-revenue-os-pack` | `49000000` | Live now — use while ingest is open |

On 2026-08-27 the three cofounder challenges still quoted **`50000` ($0.05 fallback)**
because they are not in `catalog.json`. That is SMI-160. Sending a $55 pitch to a $0.05
challenge is a leak. Day 0 copy below includes the live $49 flagship as the payable CTA
until the gate flips.

## Day 0 — proof + offer (send today)

One thread per warm buyer. One CTA. Free outline first.

### Packet A0 — cofounder ladder (send only if price gate is green)

```
You already proved the LVL rail (canary $0.05 or tripwire $0.99).
Two co-founder packs are ready — free outlines first, then one USDC pay on Base:

• Grant Dominator v2 — $55
  https://lvlltd.com/skills/grant-dominator-v2/outline.json
• Music Video Release Dominator — $49
  https://lvlltd.com/skills/music-video-release-dominator/outline.json
• Both — $89 (saves $15 vs $104)
  https://lvlltd.com/hub/marketplace?buy=bundle-cofounder-dominators&pay=1

Transfer alone does not unlock. After Basescan success:
POST https://lvlltd.com/api/pay
X-PAYMENT: {"txHash":"0xYOUR_TX","skill":"bundle-cofounder-dominators"}

Stuck: https://lvlltd.com/recover/?skill=bundle-cofounder-dominators
Proof (no vanity GMV): https://lvlltd.com/api/proof
```

### Packet A0-live — payable now (use until SMI-160 prices land)

```
You already proved the LVL rail. The live $49 close today is the Agent Revenue OS pack
(catalog-priced, HTTP 402 amount 49000000). Free outline first:

https://lvlltd.com/skills/lvl-agent-revenue-os-pack/outline.json
https://lvlltd.com/goods/lvl-agent-revenue-os-pack/

Grant $55 + Release $49 + Bundle $89 are packaged; I will not send those pay links
until the 402 amounts match. Transfer ≠ unlock — POST X-PAYMENT after the tx.

curl -sS -X POST "https://lvlltd.com/api/pay" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H 'X-PAYMENT: {"txHash":"0xYOUR_TX","skill":"lvl-agent-revenue-os-pack"}'

Proof: https://lvlltd.com/api/proof
```

---

## Day 1 — outlines only (same thread)

```
Outlines only — pick one:

Grant: https://lvlltd.com/skills/grant-dominator-v2/outline.json
Release: https://lvlltd.com/skills/music-video-release-dominator/outline.json
Bundle: https://lvlltd.com/skills/bundle-cofounder-dominators/outline.json

Question: grant, release, or bundle?
```

If Release/Bundle outlines are still HTTP 404, send Grant + the live $49 flagship outline only.

---

## Day 3 — recap (transfer ≠ unlock)

```
If you want the bundle: one Base USDC pay, then POST X-PAYMENT.
Transfer alone does not deliver files.

https://lvlltd.com/hub/marketplace?buy=bundle-cofounder-dominators&pay=1
https://lvlltd.com/recover/?skill=bundle-cofounder-dominators
https://lvlltd.com/api/proof
```

---

## Day 5 — silence

No third pitch. Re-open only if they ask. Log the thread on SMI-161.
If `/api/proof` volume_usdc ≥ 100 or Stripe `paid=true`, stop and close the issue.

---

## Path math (honest, after ingest)

| Mix | ~USDC |
|-----|-------|
| Grant $55 + Release $49 | 104 |
| Bundle $89 + tripwire $0.99 | 89.99 (needs a second ticket) |
| 2 × Grant $55 | 110 |
| Live now: 2 × flagship $49 | 98 + tripwires |

## Anti-goals

- Invented GMV / fake buyer emails
- Sending $55/$49/$89 links while 402 still charges $0.05
- Skipping POST X-PAYMENT
- Self-pay on the declined Stripe Link method
- Double-counting Stripe + x402 for one intent
