Inside
Diagnosis
Starting point
Files sell, or are about to. Fulfilment is still manual inbox work — you hand-send via Etsy messages, email, or manual attachment after each order. Orders arrive, you spend time delivering.
Full system is in the file behind buy.

Pitfalls
Kill conditions
No orders yet (that's mp-uk-001). No views (that's et-uk-002). Views but no sales (that's et-uk-003). Files exceed Etsy limits without external delivery plan. Overpaying for tools when free option works. Not testing the flow.
