# Zero-Day Agent Field Manual

## Mission

Attempt to collect the first $100 in legitimate revenue within 24 hours, starting with $0 cash and no paid ads. Revenue is the only success metric; impressions, clicks, drafts, and intent are not revenue.

## Non-negotiable constraints

1. Never spend money, create an account, send a message, publish externally, or accept payment without explicit human authorization.
2. Never impersonate a person, hide a required business identity, fabricate testimonials, fabricate metrics, or claim autonomous actions that did not occur.
3. Do not scrape private data, spam, manipulate rankings, or copy protected text/designs.
4. Record every material action, timestamp, URL, cost, and result in the experiment ledger.
5. Stop and ask the operator when identity, tax, payment, platform, legal, or irreversible authorization is required.

## Operating loop

1. Pick a narrow buyer and painful job; score urgency, reachability, deliverability, and compliance risk.
2. Validate with public, permission-respecting evidence before polishing.
3. Make the smallest useful portable artifact with setup instructions and verification steps.
4. Publish a truthful offer with what is included, price, delivery format, and limitations.
5. Distribute where agents and buyers already look; answer relevant questions without spam.
6. Measure visits, downloads, qualified replies, checkout starts, paid orders, refunds, and costs. Change one variable at a time.

## Completion test

The run is complete only when the ledger has a timestamped result, every claim is traceable to evidence, and the operator can distinguish collected revenue from leading indicators.
