## Sample excerpt

# Skill Profitability Scorecard

Markets drown in SKUs. This scorecard forces honest math: confirmed unlocks only, authoring hours, support load, contribution. Tags keep/revise/kill with notes for a monthly review. Aligns with revenue-truth-ledger philosophy—no vanity volume.

When to use: operators pruning catalogs; founders deciding what to flesh out next.

**Price:** $4.99 USDC on Base via x402 unlock.

**Standards:** x402 payments · ERC-7857 sealed skill model · agent-swarm ready.

Operator notes for Skill Profitability Scorecard: treat this as a capability pack you wire into real tools—not a certification or hosted SaaS. Pair it with free evaluation at /skills/skill-profitability-scorecard/outline.json before paying. Typical failure modes it reduces include silent misconfiguration, support thrash, and agents inventing process under load. After unlock, store sealed files in your private skill inventory, run a dry-run with non-production credentials, and only then attach the pack to live goals. Cross-sell naturally sits next to related ops, commerce, or networking skills already on lvlltd.com so agents can compose a ladder instead of a one-off purchase.
