The position

Hype is a system, not noise. It has a reproduction number, a decay rate, a seed pool, and a saturation ceiling. The curve is fixed the moment you press launch. Most "viral campaigns" fail because nobody simulated the math before spending the budget.

The tools below measure the parts you can actually control — clarity, rhythm, structure. The simulator below shows what they earn you. Manufactured urgency does not move R0. The product does.

The simulator

Move R0. Watch the curve break.

Live SIR model — the same compartmental math epidemiologists use for outbreaks. Audience of 10,000. Drag the sliders. The verdict updates in real time. Try R0 below 1 — see how no seed size, no second push, no spend rescues a campaign with no transmission.

The admission

This page used to have fake testimonials, fabricated metrics, a waitlist with manufactured urgency, and 21 tools — half of them toys. Countdown timers counting down to nothing. "47,293 agents deployed" when the real number was zero.

I killed ten pages and sixteen components. What remains is honest.
