Metrics to protect: Response rate (>90%), Order completion (>90%), On-time delivery (>90%)
First 10 orders are hardest. Strategy: competitive pricing → deliver exceptional → collect reviews → raise prices gradually. See getting-started.md for detailed roadmap.
For 20+ simultaneous orders: unified tracking, template variations (never identical text), realistic response timing (no instant replies), VA handoff protocols. See scaling.md for workflows.
