Today

1. Prepare the G3 check for the close: list the five “a person sent me the game” answers by install and date (SIM-12) → G3 (new installs a person sent). The founder ruled on Oct 5 that a link he sent himself does not count. The list lets him mark each answer against his own sends before Oct 12, so the G3 grade rests on checked answers. No garage change and no new posts go out for G1 in the last days, by the founder’s Oct 5 call.
2. Confirm the Pet Med Reminder round test is delivering: both ads out of Meta review, first impressions and clicks per ad (PMR-57) → P1 (external installs with a first dose inside 48 hours). The ads were published on Oct 5 for 7 days. An install needs to land before Oct 7 to have its 48 hours inside the window, so a stalled ad review costs P1 its last chance.
3. Read the Show Notes store page by hand: page views and first downloads since 1.5.0 (SN-58) → S1 (strangers who read a summary of a followed show). Carried from Oct 5. It says whether the break is the page or the traffic to it, which is the S1 finding for the close.

Show Notes and Paroletta start nothing new, as the Oct 1 amendment says.

Canaries

Clear.

• Default Alive 1.0 (16): WAITING_FOR_REVIEW, 4.3 days (submitted Oct 2). Inside the 5 to 9 day budget. When Apple approves it, it is not released (manual release, held for v2).
• App Store agreements: active to Oct 23, 17 days away (read Sept 26, not re-read).
• Uploaded and not submitted for more than seven days: clear. Default Alive builds 17 and 18 went to TestFlight on Oct 3.

Since yesterday

• Default Alive 1.0 will not be released when Apple approves it. Default Alive v2 (a web version and a rewrite, with the server running the game) is the next work on the game. The garage change planned for G1 (SIM-50) is on hold for v2.
• The Default Alive end calls with five players are dropped. The learning question (do people play to learn how startups work, or for the tycoon fun?) is answered at the close from the written tester feedback.
• Two possible internal installs are excluded from G1 and G2. G1 reads 15 and G2 reads 11 of 13, which still passes.
• The Pet Med Reminder round test went live on Instagram on Oct 5: two ads, $10 a day each, for 7 days, iPhone only.
