Answer
The page and the short video for each part of the loop in the Ocho direction: the home page, the ask for a read page, the two public pages brands share, and one thirty second explainer for each of the read, the feed, the jam, the hand off and what it learns; today none of these exist beyond the app's own start page.

Rules: the hero button is the plain word. Ocho never sits on a button. No partner logos, customer counts or testimonials. The page says sign in with Google on your work email, never that no sign in is needed brand-directions/book/content/h.js h-4 home brand-directions/docs2/data/dirs.json.

Every explainer is a screen recording of the product with Ocho in the greeting corner and the empty states, hot pink on ink, text set by us in DynaPuff and Archivo; the running joke is the coffee count, always one more than Ocho admits, which pays off on Friday when every arm is free brand-directions/octopus/marketing.html.
How we do it
- Write the page or the script from the tables above, plain words first, Ocho's line second.
- Record the product on a demo store, never a partner's brand without their written yes.
- Every invented example is the sample candle store with a visible Sample label.
- Text on screen is set by us, never baked into a generated picture.
- Check every line against claims we can make, then run the writing checker:
cd /Users/param/Documents/ChatGPT/brand-directions && node _tools/check.mjs
- Fix the landing's sample cards, foot line and the picker hint in the same release as the first page.

- Which domain do the pages live on? Proposal: decide it with the name; keep feed.joinsquareup.com as the app.
- One page or two, home and ask? Proposal: one page, with the ask as its last block, and the Full state on the same page.
- Where do explainers live? Proposal: on the home page under each block, and the same cuts on Instagram.
- What replaces the landing's unlabelled sample cards? Proposal: label them Sample now, and swap in a partner's finding only with written yes.
