- "A prominent developer on X just posted that our latency is 3x worse than the competitor and it's hurting us."
- "We're trying to decide whether to invest in a big Discord community or focus on high-quality docs and GitHub."]

### Success Criteria
What would an amazing outcome look like for you in this interaction? [e.g. "A full activation program I can take to my team tomorrow", "A 1,200-word launch thread + supporting assets", "A decision framework + recommendation I can present to the CEO"]

### Constraints
