FAQ
What is the difference between the free briefing and Founding Membership?
The free Sunday briefing is the full §1-§2-§4 issue every reader gets. Founding Members ($99/yr) additionally unlock §3 — the gated prescriptive playbook section — plus monthly operator AMA recordings, the full OperatorIndex benchmark dataset, member-only Slack, 50% off all OperatorIndex reports, and a founder-direct reply line.
Why is Founding Membership only $99/yr?
Locked forever for the first 100 readers. Regular price moves to $300/yr once the founding cohort closes. The founding price is a credibility commitment — it does not reopen.
What is the Operator Toolkit?
$29 one-time. Seven operator-specific deliverables: Pricing Audit workbook, CS Health Score framework, Board Update template, Sponsor Outreach (10 templates), Affiliate Tracking Spreadsheet, 30-60-90 Onboarding Checklist, and per-vertical KPI Dashboards. Buy once, download forever.
Founders Pack — what is it?
A cross-property bundle, capped at 50 buyers across all three Northtide assets. $499 for InventorySpread Founders Lifetime ($399) + Premium Vertical Report ($49) + Operator Toolkit ($29) + VerticalEdge Founding Membership ($99). Save $77 and lock the founding price everywhere.
