Role-Readiness Proof / Capstone
Take an agentic-commerce concept from ambiguity to a partner-ready launch plan. Interview merchants/builders and map the human, agent, merchant and payment journey; define product thesis, non-goals and success metrics; specify one protocol/API integration with schemas and error states; model product-data/search dependencies; design delegated authorization, tokenization, fraud/risk and dispute controls; prototype agent-driven discovery-to-checkout; define observability and experiment plan; create partner rollout across at least two ecosystem actors; finish with unit economics, trust/safety gates, GTM and executive launch decision.
