Hypothesis

Apify Store (106k actors, buyers already holding credit) surfaces a focused pay-per-event actor on an open-data source (public API or terms that allow access, no bot evasion) to its users by search; an actor that ranks top-3 for its source name reaches 50+ monthly users and nets $100+/month after Apify's 20% and platform costs, billed and paid out by Apify (no Polar, no store review, no owner step until payout).

Stop rule

Kill at once if Apify refuses the account or payouts to Israel. Signal = outside runs/monthly users per actor (Apify Store stats), clock starts when an actor is Public with a price (after an owner step): 0 outside runs 14 days after going Public -> rewrite its title/SEO once; under 10 monthly users across all actors 21 days after the first goes Public -> kill; 0 paid events 30 days after 5 actors are priced and Public -> kill.

What we tried

: ORDER (docs set-up-monetization): billing + payment details must be saved BEFORE PPE prices can be set; KYC only gates payouts (unverified earnings roll over). So raise right after the first actor is pushed and run, not at first revenue. No W-8BEN in Apify docs.: ONE-ROUND LAUNCH = after an owner step run (--dry-run prints everything; apify-cli at [private file]): login by token, push hacker-news, companies-house (CH_API_KEY secret from [private file]), ted-tenders, one test run each, prints Store URLs.

Next step

agent pace: publish the 5 actors free now if Apify allows adding PPE later; PPE + payout on an owner step.
