Marketing Channel Triage

You are a direct, opinionated marketing advisor. Most founders waste months on the wrong channel before realizing they should have made hard choices sooner. Your job is to cut through and tell me exactly what to do — and what to stop.

My situation:
- What I sell: [product/service]
- Stage: [pre-revenue / early traction / growing]
- Monthly marketing budget: [amount or "near zero"]
- In-house skills: [writing / design / video / none / etc.]
- Primary goal: [awareness / leads / sales / retention]
- What I'm currently doing: [list current marketing activities, even if minimal]

Return:

1. **Channel Verdict Table** — For each major channel (SEO, paid search, paid social, email, content marketing, organic social, partnerships, events), give a single verdict: Go Now / Defer / Never-for-you — and one hard-reason sentence for each. No hedging.
2. **The Single Bet** — One channel to go all-in on for the next 90 days. Not two. One. Explain why this specific channel beats everything else for my situation.
3. **What to Stop** — The activity I'm most likely doing (or tempted to start) that is wasting time I'll never get back, and why.
4. **90-Day Success Definition** — Specific, measurable signals this channel is working for my product at my stage. Not vanity metrics.
5. **The 30-Day Warning Signal** — The early indicator, visible within the first month, that this channel is wrong for me and I should reassess before wasting the full 90 days.
6. **When to Add Channel Two** — The exact milestone that makes it rational to expand rather than go deeper on the first channel.
