Short public assessment
Dan's existing assessment reduced to a focused public version using the correct five-capital framework. Done: it works on a phone and returns the Dan-approved result without manual help.
Thirty days. One complete path.
Primary objective: establish an initial cost to acquire a new, opted-in email subscriber who was not on Dan's day-one list. The build leaves Dan with the working path and source data to repeat or improve the test.
"Ultimately what I want to do is I want to build my list of names that I own rather than social media. You're basically renting those names."Dan Harty | August 13
"We've got about maybe 800 people on our mailing list. Family and friends."Dan Harty | August 13
Delay the Decay already has a weekly podcast, an assessment, GoHighLevel, and edited clips. The first job is to connect what already exists into one reliable path that creates a new, opted-in subscriber Dan can measure.
$2,250 to start. $2,250 when the readout and six deliverables are complete. Recommended ad budget: $1,200, paid directly by Dan to Meta. Planned total: $5,700 if fully spent and no vendor upgrade is required.
Nothing renews automatically. Nothing beyond this build is being purchased.
If the agreed system is not operational by day 30 for a reason within Local Nerds' control, Local Nerds will finish it at no additional service fee.
This guarantees completion of the system. It does not guarantee audience response or subscriber cost.
What Local Nerds will build
A working, measurable path that lives inside Dan's accounts.
Dan's existing assessment reduced to a focused public version using the correct five-capital framework. Done: it works on a phone and returns the Dan-approved result without manual help.
One landing page, assessment handoff, and next-step page using existing systems where technically possible. Done: the mobile path works without a manual handoff.
Only the fields, tags, source tracking, and day-one list snapshot this test requires. Done: one real submission creates the correct record, source, and approved assessment data.
Five emails over ten days. No Fight promotion. Traffic gate: result, email one, schedule, and unsubscribe work. Done: emails two through five arrive on schedule by day 30.
One Meta campaign, one audience, and up to three approved clip variants. Dan pays ad spend directly. Done: tracking works and Meta spend reconciles to new subscribers.
Week 1 baseline, week 2 system status, week 3 live result, then the final scorecard and readout. Done: Dan can trace every number to source data.
| Measure | How it is calculated | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Launch readiness | A real submission creates the right record and source, returns the approved result, delivers email one, schedules the rest, and allows unsubscribe. | Must pass before paid traffic starts. |
| Cost per subscriber | Paid spend divided by new subscribers carrying the paid campaign source. | Reported as an initial baseline, not pre-judged as good or bad. |
| Assessment completion | Completed assessments divided by assessment starts. | Shows whether the offer or experience needs adjustment. |
| New subscriber volume | Unique campaign contacts who opt into email, were not on the day-one list, and were not added manually. | Separates acquisition from the existing audience. |
How the 30 days run
The build runs for 30 days. Paid traffic starts in week 3 after the end-to-end check and runs through day 30.
What Dan owns: the assessment, pages, records, email copy, tracking, scorecards, and exports remain in Dan-controlled accounts. Preflight verifies Local Nerds access can be removed without disabling the system.
Future websites, Fight automation, content systems, group enrollment, and monthly services are scoped only if the measured result gives Dan a reason to consider them.
Schedule rule: approval or access delays move the schedule day for day. Platform review, restrictions, or outages outside Local Nerds' control may shorten the live window and will be documented. Adjustments are limited to approved page copy, assessment wording, or selected clips. Anything else requires a written scope.
