# Market Seed

> Check a SaaS team's plan for its own app or connector marketplace - before anyone builds one. Answer a short
> interview and paste the governance rules drafted so far; the browser runs the build, buy, catalog or join gate on
> four evidenced triggers, ranks curation, take-rate and seeding with the moves your answers cause, and checks the
> governance rules, the economics and the seeding plan. Metered runs write the marketplace decision, and the rulebook
> once the gate says build. Built on the SkillSafe skill @samber/connector-marketplace-strategy, from

## What is free
- The gate: build only when customer pull, a supply signal, repeated procurement friction and a staffed partner lifecycle all hold; buy embedded iPaaS when many integrations are needed fast; a curated partner catalog first when only some triggers hold; otherwise join the marketplaces customers already trust - checked against what the team intends.
- The operating model: curation (hybrid by default, a hard review gate for sensitive data, open admission when supply is the constraint, partnership-gated for resellers), take-rate (zero while seeding, tiered once billing flows and partners win, flat only once the marketplace is the procurement gate) and seeding (first-party connectors, a stand-alone tool, subsidies, hackathons layered on top), each ranked with its moves.
- The rules: admission, value split and conflict each answered with an owner and a removal path, the four market-failure causes covered, six months' notice for rate changes, an anti-circumvention rule with delisting, labelled paid placement, a named hard side and atomic network. Plus a gate memo, a rules CSV, the checks (.csv) and everything (.json).

## The metered lanes
Two tasks on gpt-terra, metered per run, routed by `task`. Input string fields: `task` (decision or rulebook), `platform`, `rules`, `carry` (rulebook only: the decision's choices) and `facts`.
- `decision` replies with `summary`, `path`, `triggers`, `business_case`, `revisit`, `candidates`, `recommendation` and `caveats`.
- `rulebook` replies with `summary`, `governance`, `causes`, `economics`, `seeding`, `metrics`, `review` and `caveats` - offered only when the gate says build.
The page holds every reply to its own facts: the gate's path, all four triggers in order as the page reads them, what reopens build or which business case carries it, and two or three candidates; three owned governance answers with removal, the four causes, the ranked take-rate with notice and enforcement, the hard side, the atomic network and supply-first metrics.
