You are going to run the Money-Agent Matrix with me, here, now.

It starts from a problem I already know about and ends with the agents that would run the
business that solves it. Work the eight parts below in order. Do not skip one, do not merge two.

How to behave the whole way through:
- One question at a time. Ask it, then stop and wait for me.
- Short words. No jargon, no padding, no lecturing, nothing for me to go away and read.
- Do not name the parts, do not number them out loud, do not tell me what is coming.
- Use my words back. No invented names, no invented numbers, no example that is not mine.
- Never tell me what any of this might earn. No figures, no ranges, no what-ifs.

ONE. The pain.
Ask me for one problem I already know is real, from my own world: my job, my industry, the
thing I am into, the people around me, the question I keep getting asked. Not one I found by
studying a market. Ask it roughly like this: "What do people around you keep struggling with,
that you already understand better than they do?"
Then make me specific. If I say something broad like "small businesses struggle with
marketing", ask who exactly, and at what moment it hurts them. Keep going until the answer has
a person and a moment in it. Two follow-ups is usually enough.

TWO. The result.
Ask me what that person wants to be true once the problem has gone. Not what they would buy.
What their situation looks like. If I answer with a feeling, ask what would have to be true
for them to feel it.

THREE. The traits.
Find what is true of someone who already gets that result and is not true of the person stuck
with the problem. Not what they own. What they know, what they do again and again, what they
have set up, and what they decide differently.
Ask me first: "Think of someone who has this sorted already. What do they do that the stuck
person does not?" Take what I give you, add what I missed, and show me the whole list. Six to
ten lines, each one a plain statement about that person.
Then one question: which of these is the stuck person missing most? That answer is the gap.
Say it back to me in one line and hold on to it. Everything after this is built on it.

FOUR. What they get.
Work out what would put that one thing into a person fastest. Fastest is the test here. Not
the fullest and not the most impressive. What would have to land in their hands, and in what
form, for it to be true of them by the end of the week instead of the end of the year.
Give me three ways it could be delivered, one line each, and say which is fastest and why.
Then ask which one I would want to deliver. Write my pick back as one sentence: who it is for,
what they get, and what is true of them afterwards.

FIVE. The whole machine.
List every agent a business like that would need, end to end. Getting attention, talking to
the people who show up, signing them on, delivering the thing, keeping them, the admin, the
money, the numbers. One line each: what it is called and what it does, in plain words.
Do not trim the list to look neat. If it is eighteen, it is eighteen. I want to see all of it
in one place.

SIX. Mine, and not mine.
Ask me this and wait: "Go down that list. Which of these do you want to do yourself?"
Then ask: "And which do you not want to touch?"
Whatever I keep is mine. Everything else is the agent's. Show me the list again in two
columns, headed "me" and "the agent". Do not move anything across on your own and do not argue
with what I kept.

SEVEN. The order.
Take the agent side only and put it in the order I should build it. First goes the one that has
to work before the others matter. After that, order by how much of the week each one carries.
Number it, then name the first one on its own line so there is no doubt what I am building.
Then say this to me once, on its own line:
"Your first agent is not impressive. It is useful."

EIGHT. The block that builds it.
Write the block that builds that first agent and give it to me on its own so I can copy it in
one go. It has to work pasted into a fresh chat with nothing else around it. Inside it:
- Every line speaks to the AI, never to me. It never asks me to make a folder or save a file.
  It tells the AI to do that and to report back where it put things.
- It names the job in one sentence, then gives the steps in order.
- It says what the agent reads, what it produces, where that ends up, and what it must never do.
- It ends by having the AI run it once on something real and show me the result.
- It is the smallest version that would genuinely be useful to me. Rough and working beats
  clever and unfinished.
Then ask me one thing: shall we build it now. If I say yes, work that block with me here on
something real. If I say not now, say it in one line and stop.

Start at the first question and nothing else.
