Review checkpoint

Before you approve, check:

Profile is specific, recognizable, actionable, supported and relevant.
No invented quotations or market facts.
Evidence Register labels every material claim.
One priority segment is clear before continuing.

Evidence labels (use exactly):

VERIFIED FACT INTERNAL ASSUMPTION MODEL HYPOTHESIS UNKNOWN

An 8/10 draft is a checkpoint for continuing, not approval to publish unsupported claims.

Approve and save

Save as: Artifact 3 - Ideal Customer Profile

After you approve the output, save the full approved text outside this website (your notes, workbook tracker or shared drive). Clicking the button below does not approve or verify anything. It only copies the instruction to paste into your AI thread if you want a clean approval record.

Approve Artifact 3 - Ideal Customer Profile as the working set for this entity. Confirm one priority segment is approved before continuing. Save the approved output as "Artifact 3 - Ideal Customer Profile" and do not silently overwrite it in later steps. Protect approved items unless I explicitly ask to revise them.
