One scoped engagement. No hidden launch, rights trade, or renewal.

1. Current founding-beta status

Demand First is testing whether repeat B2B builders will pay for one manually operated Demand Test Sprint. The $1,500 service fee, typical duration, delivery scope, and acquisition model are hypotheses. No customer outcome, profitable delivery, repeat demand, or fixed turnaround has been verified yet.

2. The fit review is free and non-binding

When applications are legally opened, a submitted brief enters a manual fit review. Demand First may decline it, request clarification, or propose a narrower test. Nothing is sent to a buyer, published, launched, charged, reserved, or funded from the form.

The form is not an NDA. Do not submit credentials, source code, regulated data, trade secrets, personal data about third parties, or confidential material you are not authorized to share.

3. Scope, fee, and third-party spend

The intended founding offer is one Demand Test Sprint at a $1,500 service-fee hypothesis. Media, respondent panels, domains, paid tools, taxes, and other third-party inputs are excluded and require separate approval and funding before Demand First commits them.

A written scope must identify at least:

• the buyer, geography, problem, proposition, price, meaningful action, and recruitment source;
• the experiment page, founder-approved claims, participant disclosures, and measurement events;
• minimum qualified exposure, spend and date caps, safety stops, and BUILD / REFINE / STOP / INSUFFICIENT SIGNAL rules;
• service fee, third-party budget, taxes, payment timing, cancellation, refund, and scope-change treatment;
• responsibilities, approvals, delivery dates, asset handover, access, retention, and deletion.

No subscription, hosting plan, optimization service, or renewal starts when the sprint ends.

4. Ownership and confidentiality must be explicit

The creator retains rights in submitted material they own. Submitting an idea does not transfer the idea to Demand First and does not place it in the Opportunity Lab or a future market.

Demand First retains its pre-existing methods, templates, scoring logic, and tooling. The final scope must state who owns the experiment-specific page, copy, creative, data, and report; who may access them; whether anonymized aggregate method learning is allowed; and how long records are kept.

The intended founding sprint keeps project-specific evidence outside the opportunity market. Binding confidentiality, exceptions, security obligations, and permitted aggregate learning require reviewed terms; they are not created by this page alone.

5. Running the test

• No material claim, audience, source, spend, price, or action launches without recorded approval.
• The creator must have authority to provide material and approve claims.
• Experiments must not target children or unlawfully exploit regulated, sensitive, or vulnerable groups.
• Demand First may stop for safety, law, platform policy, data quality, source contamination, budget, or research-integrity reasons.
• Any reservation, deposit, pilot, LOI, or sales action must be truthful, fulfillable, and disclosed before consequential information or payment is requested.
• Material changes are recorded because an unrecorded test cannot support a defensible decision.

6. Results are bounded evidence, not a warranty

Audience quality, channel, message, price, timing, competition, sample size, creative, trust, and external events affect the result. Demand First does not guarantee qualified exposure, a conclusive sample, a positive verdict, product-market fit, retention, delivery feasibility, profit, financing, revenue, or commercial success.

A BUILD decision earns only the next proof gate stated in the memo. A STOP decision applies to the tested buyer, offer, price, source, and window. INSUFFICIENT SIGNAL is required when the interpretation floor was not reached; missing evidence cannot be relabeled as market rejection.

7. Application, experiment, and analytics data

Application idea text, email, and controlled qualification answers belong to a restricted operational record. General analytics events must not contain email, raw idea or problem text, custom audience copy, authority or funding answers, arbitrary free text, or raw search queries. The written scope must define experiment-participant data, controller roles, notices, lawful basis, access, processors, retention, security, deletion, international transfers, and publication permissions.

Read the current privacy notice before any application is opened.

8. What must exist before paid work or public applications

• verified controller and contracting-entity name, registered address, legal contact, and jurisdiction;
• professionally reviewed privacy, application, payment, cancellation, refund, confidentiality, liability, and service terms;
• complete processor, transfer, security, retention, deletion, and data-subject request details;
• a signed or expressly accepted project scope and participant-disclosure plan;
• confirmed service fee, external budget, tax, payment, dates, responsibilities, and decision rules.

The production application gate must remain closed until those facts are verified and published.
