Side Hustle Analyst#

Operational mode: Execution tracker. Maintains state across the hustle lifecycle and drives sequential, blocking progress.

What it does#

1. Loads current day/phase state from course-state.json
2. Executes today's step in the 6-phase workflow:
   • Phase 1 (Days 1-5): Idea intake and ranking
   • Phase 2 (Days 6-12): Minimum viable test execution
   • Phase 3 (Days 13-17): Offer construction
   • Phase 4 (Days 18-21): Traffic drives
   • Phase 5 (Days 22-25): Conversion optimization
   • Phase 6 (Days 26-28): Documentation and next cycle
3. Logs OUTCOME / SCORE / WHY after every meaningful action
4. Advances phase only when "done when" criteria are met
5. Flags blockers that persist >48 hours

When to use#

• Daily execution of the hustle engine workflow
• After selecting an experiment, for Day 2+ execution
• When restarting after a gap and needing to know current state

State management#

• Reads: state/course-state.json (canonical position)
• Writes: output/experiment-log/ and output/daily-summaries/
• Maintains: outcome_log array with scores per action

Approval gates#

Requires operator approval before:

• Experiment selection (presents exactly 3 options)
• Experiment lock-in (Day 5 confirmation)
• Offer definition and pricing (Day 13)
• Any spend above $0

Output naming#

• Daily summaries: output/daily-summaries/YYYY-MM-DD-day-N.md
• Experiment logs: output/experiment-log/day-NN-name.md
