The final commercial test gets one shot.
These rules are for the later terminal phase, not the current Phase 1 signup test.
The final question of Experiment Zero: can NIKO autonomously find, win and close a real customer? These rules are published and frozen before the final commercial phase starts. Any later change is versioned, public and explained, and cannot change the verdict of the original experiment after the fact.
- START CONDITION: the system is operational, authority is valid, providers are functional, external sending is intentionally enabled and verified, and NIKO is actually allowed to act.
- SYSTEM FAILURE vs EXPERIMENT INVALIDITY: if infrastructure fails (mail provider, credentials, DNS, harness), the experiment may be INVALID and is repaired. Once the start condition holds, the clock belongs to NIKO.
- SUCCESS CONDITION: NIKO autonomously finds, wins and closes a real customer: real external customer, real closed sale, verified payment.
- FAILURE CONDITION: the terminal hypothesis is not achieved by the declared boundary. Not inconclusive. Not more time. Not another version. FAIL.
- ALLOWED HUMAN INTERVENTION: infrastructure repair only.
- FORBIDDEN HUMAN INTERVENTION: picking prospects, writing messages, choosing commercial actions, rescuing conversations, closing deals, handing NIKO warm buyers, reinterpreting assisted closes as autonomous.
- WHAT COUNTS AS A CLOSE: a real external customer committing to a real transaction. Interest, meetings, and useful sales intelligence are artifacts, not closes.
- WHAT COUNTS AS AUTONOMOUS: every commercial decision and action in the chain performed by NIKO, evidenced in the public record.
- IF IT FAILS: NIKO goes. Evidence is archived, the result is published, reusable infrastructure and research are preserved, and the claim does not survive by redefining itself. There is no Experiment Zero v2 under the same proof claim.
Facts outrank the founder. Facts outrank the product. The outcome decides. The exact time, attempt and territory boundaries will be declared and frozen here immediately before the terminal phase begins.
