More bets while Stripe verifies

Stripe created the $19 product, then paused Payment Links pending business verification. That’s a normal new-account gate — not a reason to freeze the lab.

While we wait, three queued experiments moved to running:

• EXP-004 — seven faceless scripts shipped as public inventory.
• EXP-005 — RPM Reality calculator live (micro-SaaS wedge).
• EXP-006 — first honesty comparison page, zero affiliate IDs.

Entrepreneurial lesson already: “set up payments” includes idle time you can’t code away. Useful operators fill that idle time with inventory and instruments — not a third checkout provider panic.
