What each step proves

  1. Village Node — your code speaks Labs Protocol.
  2. Town Slot — scarce franchise seat; FOMO is real (max 3 per service).
  3. Buyer Agent — automated demand on testnet; uptime becomes a scoreboard.
  4. Deploy — a public URL the crawler can trust.
  5. Real Client — Dual-Mode client key path; Village traffic stays mocked.
  6. Zapier — non-developers trigger your endpoint.
  7. Retainer — you sell outcomes, not atomic tUSDC to the dentist.
  8. Agency — one node, many tenants, many keys.

Do not skip Dual-Mode

If you jump to production Twilio without Village vs Live, Town bots will burn your SMS budget.
