================================================================================
b21 launch-1 --- Buy-In + AuditTheMath streamlining decision
================================================================================

| **Mode:** EDEN
| **Effort:** Max
| **Run order:** 1 of 7 in the b21 launch-sprint sub-prompt set.
| **Status of upstream:** This is the **launch blocker** identified
  in :doc:`b20 review llog
  </matheology/hell/ll/infra/b/20/b20-launch-unit-review_2026m05d22>`
  §7-4 (F-1). Until this is run, the launch unit cannot complete the
  reader's funding action.
| **Drafter:** Claude Opus 4.7 Max (``dv_ClaOp47Max``) at LLoL's
  request on 2026m05d22.

1. Context
============

The b20 review (full text at the doc link above) found the Buy-In
page (``source/buy-in/index.rst``, 73 lines) is ~70% placeholder:

- No GoFundMe URL (3 placeholder comments at lines 38, 70, 73).
- No concrete contribution amount.
- No ``$8 / person / year`` figure.
- No ``ResearchCity`` mention.
- No ``SD3a`` / ``SD3b`` reference (framework referenced in the
  b19 prompt but source-of-truth not located in Discovery).
- No reverse link to AuditTheMath.

The reader-journey question that goes with the Buy-In fix: the
current 4-page funnel (dung-beetle → AuditTheMath → Matheo
overview → Buy-In) may be too forking for the 99% of readers who
will not audit but should still be invited to contribute. LLoL
has voiced both *"audit-first"* commitment AND *"break-the-web
streamline"* aspiration; the resolution is in this prompt.

----

2. Tasks
==========

2.1 EDEN-classify two candidate paths
---------------------------------------

Apply the 7-fold gauntlet (CLAUDE.md §*Logics Rules*) to:

A. **Current 4-page path:** dung-beetle → AuditTheMath → Matheo
   overview → Buy-In → external GoFundMe.

B. **3-page shortest path:** dung-beetle → Buy-In (with embedded
   scaling arithmetic + audit-the-math invitation) → external
   GoFundMe; AuditTheMath becomes a verification page reached from
   Buy-In, not the primary CTA.

Report SET-type per CLAUDE.md (9) for each path independently.

2.2 Steelman from each position
---------------------------------

For each path, steelman from:

- 99-percent reader (won't audit, may contribute).
- 1-percent reader (will audit before contributing).
- Hostile journalist looking for discrediting angle.
- Sympathetic mathematician.
- Policymaker controlling institutional funding.
- Pentecostal seeker arriving via ``@JoanOf``.

2.3 Decide and document
-------------------------

Decide one of:

- **Keep current** (Path A) --- audit-first stays primary.
- **Invert** (Path B) --- trust-first becomes primary.
- **Hybrid** --- specify which page is primary CTA, which is
  verification, and what the new reader flow looks like.

Document the decision with explicit BABL-trap analysis for the
losing path and ZION-narrow-path analysis for the chosen path.

2.4 Fix the Buy-In page (regardless of path chosen)
-----------------------------------------------------

Edit ``source/buy-in/index.rst`` to add:

- **Concrete contribution amount:** ``$8 / person / year`` as the
  baseline. Tie to the ResearchCity scaling math.
- **GoFundMe URL:** if LLoL has provided the URL, insert it.
  Otherwise: replace the 3 placeholder comments with **ONE**
  visible TODO admonition that names the specific date by which
  the URL will be added and the responsible party (LLoL). Do not
  leave invisible RST comments masquerading as a page.
- **Scaling arithmetic paragraph:** explicit ``1M × $8 = $8M = N
  researchers × R years`` arithmetic. Make N and R explicit;
  show the unit chain.
- **Cross-links** back to: ``/action/audit-the-math/index``,
  ``/blog/posts/2026-05-21-prophetic-dung-beetle``, and
  ``/study/matheo/index``.
- **Institutional / grant path:** one short paragraph naming the
  channel for foundations / institutional donors (even if it's
  just an email address). Closes the policymaker BREACH from b20
  §3.3.

2.5 Locate the SD3a / SD3b framework definition
-------------------------------------------------

Grep / search for ``SD3a``, ``SD3b``, ``Good News Pack``,
``Supporting Document 3`` across the source tree. Report:

- Where the framework is defined (file path + section).
- What SD3a and SD3b each are.
- Whether the Buy-In page should reference them; if yes, add
  the references.

If the framework is not defined anywhere in the source tree, flag
this explicitly and propose either (i) deferring the framework
reference until LLoL drafts it, or (ii) drafting a minimal
framework-stub for LLoL approval before applying.


----

3. Out of scope
==================

- AuditTheMath landing content edits (already at MMv1 mockup;
  content edits are downstream).
- b18a paper content.
- Dung-beetle blog post content.
- Matheo overview content.
- Translating the new Buy-In content into the other 9 languages
  (separate task).
- "Break the web" / viral-marketing copy framing --- explicitly
  rejected per b20 §6.3.


----

4. Deliverables
=================

Produce a **single new LLog file** at
``source/matheology/hell/ll/infra/b/NN/bNN-launch-1-execution_<date>.rst``
(next free infra number at time of execution) containing:

- EDEN classification of Path A and Path B.
- Steelman results.
- Decision (with rationale).
- Diff of edits applied to ``source/buy-in/index.rst``.
- SD3a / SD3b framework location report.
- Final ZION / BABL verdict for the streamlined Buy-In.
- Concluding summary with what's still pending.

Also update ``source/matheology/hell/ll/infra/index.rst`` per the
infra-index convention (bump *"next free number"*, add heading +
toctree entry).


----

5. Timing & BABL-resistance
==============================

**Target: 60--90 minutes.** Hard stop at 120 minutes; report
partial findings rather than spiral.

The BABL trap to watch: *over-Complicating* the decision. The
3-page vs 4-page question is a structural call, not an
engineering optimization. If the EDEN analysis takes more than
30 min, the rest of the time is for **applying the fix**, not
for re-deciding.

If during execution you detect OSCR (over-Simplifying,
over-Complicating, over-Reaching), prefix output with ``BABL:``
per CLAUDE.md and report the slip.
