A transparent record of what was actually submitted, skipped, or left for later. One free directory submission was completed without paying for acceleration.
submitted_free_queue
POST returned 200 on Submission Received page, final URL /thanks/?i=139589, free queue estimated wait shown as 4 months. Paid Fast-Track was offered but not used.
Next: Monitor support@starterfixsprint.com for publication email and analytics for launching-next referral traffic.
skipped_paid_gate
Public page exposed paid Featured Spot checkout forms and newsletter forms; no safe free submit form was used.
Next: Revisit only if a clearly free launch submission path is found.
skipped_auth_required
Submit page was public but rendered sign in / create account copy and no non-auth HTML form. No account creation or email-verification flow was attempted.
Next: Can be submitted manually after login if user authorizes account use.
skipped_auth_required
Public page showed Sign In / Join and no public submission form in fetched HTML. No account-auth flow was attempted.
Next: Revisit if a logged-in free submit path is available.
skipped_paid_gate
/submit redirected to premium launch page with payment-oriented copy. No free path was used.
Next: Skip unless a free community launch path appears.
skipped_auth_or_paid_risk
Fetched page contained pricing/captcha signals and no public form. No paid skip-the-line or account flow was attempted.
Next: Revisit only after confirming free submit path.
skipped_fit_and_no_public_form
Public page is dev-tool focused and no public submission form was available in fetched HTML. Product fit is weak unless framed strictly as widget.
Next: Revisit only if widget packaging becomes stronger.
skipped_auth_required
/submit page linked to /auth/signin?callbackUrl=/submit. No login or account creation was attempted.
Next: Submit only after authorized login is available.
skipped_ai_only_and_auth_required
Page is AI-tool focused and requires sign-in to continue. Starter Fix Sprint should not be misrepresented as an AI tool.
Next: Skip unless a legitimately AI-specific product is launched.
research_only_not_submitted
Target is a research shortlist, not a direct listing form. No profile was created.
Next: Extract individual free directories in a later pass.
