Growth Cycle: April 12, 2026 — Faith AI Gets 70% Resources for May 19 Product Hunt Launch
Cycle Date: April 12, 2026
Next Cycle: April 18, 2026
Status: T-5 Weeks to Product Hunt Launch
Executive Summary
This cycle marks our transition from research to execution for the US market launch. Faith AI receives 70% of resources as our beachhead product with a May 19 Product Hunt launch — our highest-leverage moment for establishing market presence.
Key Strategic Decision: Prioritize ruthlessly. With zero budget, we cannot do everything. Faith AI's combination of largest addressable audience (65M+ US Christians [Model inference — unverified]), clearest differentiation, and imminent deadline makes it the clear priority.
Critical Blocker: iOS app timeline unknown. Decision required by April 14.

增长周期：2026年4月12日 — Faith AI获得70%资源用于5月19日Product Hunt发布
周期日期： 2026年4月12日
下一周期： 2026年4月18日
状态： Product Hunt发布倒计时5周
执行摘要
本周期标志着我们从研究转向美国市场发布执行。Faith AI获得70%的资源作为我们的滩头产品，5月19日Product Hunt发布是我们建立市场影响力的最高杠杆时刻。
关键战略决策： 无情地优先排序。零预算下，我们无法做所有事情。Faith AI拥有最大的可触达受众（6500万+美国基督徒 [模型推断 — 未验证]）、最清晰的差异化，以及最紧迫的截止日期，使其成为明确的优先事项。
关键障碍： iOS应用时间表未知。需要在4月14日前做出决定。
