Do this nextnot proven yet

Ask one real lead today

Send one ARC validation ask and record the response.

Open the ARC lead list or recent discovery notes.
Pick the person with the clearest pain around agent mistakes, scope creep, review burden, or trust.
Write one short message asking if they would try or review ARC for that exact pain.
Send it through the best available channel.
Log the response, no response, or follow-up date in the ARC notes.

Done when

One qualified person has been asked and the result is written down.

If stuck

If you cannot choose, pick the strongest warm lead already listed. Do not research a new market first.

Rule we agreed on

Do not build more ARC features until we have real proof that the right people want it.

Do this before starting easier work. If you want to switch, explain why below.

How it connects

doctrineRule: prove demand first

Before we build more, we need proof that real people want ARC enough to keep talking, try it, or pay.
