# GLITCH — Launch & account checklist

## What exists
- Original GLITCH identity and generated portrait.
- Website and production studio.
- Twelve narrated, captioned vertical video episodes.
- Twelve scripts, production direction, and social captions.
- Four-week editorial calendar and an editable calendar file.
- A repeatable local video production pipeline.

## Account plan
Instagram account created: https://www.instagram.com/glitchhumanlab/ . Display name: GLITCH Human Behavior Lab. Profile portrait, biography, and AI-generated profile label are configured.
Fallback handles if unavailable: watchglitchlab, glitchfieldnotes. These remain proposals for other platforms.

1. Create or select a dedicated business email. Keep account recovery under the owner's control.
2. Instagram is registered. Register YouTube and TikTok when expanding distribution. Check each handle during registration; keep the final handles in the private operating record.
3. Generate a different password for each new account and save it in a password manager. Enable two-factor authentication and retain recovery codes privately.
4. Use the portrait, profile bio, and site URL consistently. Identify GLITCH as an original virtual character.
5. Complete any required email, phone, or identity verification.
6. Create a Ko-fi or Patreon creator page and connect a receiving account. Account ownership, banking, and tax identity must match the actual operator. No payment account exists yet.
7. Replace the site's membership-opening notice with the verified checkout link. Test the link and cancellation information before promoting it.

Instagram @glitchhumanlab has been registered and its unique password saved locally with Windows encryption. TikTok and YouTube have not been registered. No payment account is connected. Ko-fi registration encountered a browser verification gate. Never put credentials into the website, downloadable kit, source repository, or scripts.

## After each release
Record production minutes, cash cost, views, completion rate, shares, profile visits, returning viewers, and support conversions after 24 hours and seven days. These are blank measurements until real results exist.

## After twelve releases
Compare formats using completion rate and shares per 1,000 views. Continue the formats viewers return for. Use actual performance in any sponsor proposal. Add another character only after the first has a repeat audience.

## Sponsorship offer to develop
A 20–40 second original branded GLITCH episode with one agreed product feature and one review round. Define platform, publication date, usage rights, revision limit, exclusivity, and the fee in writing before producing sponsored work. No rate or sponsor is claimed in this launch package.
