Transition-state approval, not fake uniformity.
| Date | Asset | TikTok | IG/FB/YT | Decision state |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 7 | Adventure Rants four modes | TikTok already posted May 1. No TT scheduled. | IG/FB scheduled 9:00 AM PT. YT scheduled 9:15 AM PT. | Catch-up only. Do not repost on TikTok. |
| May 8 | YogiMagee skinny can | TikTok already posted May 2. No TT scheduled. | IG/FB scheduled 9:00 AM PT. YT scheduled 9:15 AM PT. | Catch-up only. Do not repost on TikTok. |
| May 9 | Wander S’more vacation packing | TikTok already posted May 3. No TT scheduled. | IG/FB scheduled 9:00 AM PT. YT scheduled 9:15 AM PT. | Catch-up only. Do not repost on TikTok. |
| May 10 | Burning River garage walkthrough | TikTok already posted May 4. No TT scheduled. | IG/FB scheduled 9:00 AM PT. YT scheduled 9:15 AM PT. | Catch-up only. Do not repost on TikTok. |
Cassie's pick: do not repost those four on TikTok. If we want daily TT cadence, use a bridge lane: old Adventure Flask / creator material that has not been posted on TikTok, then start uniform cross-channel scheduling after the catch-up window.
This is the missing operating brain: each post should show the prior signal, explicit hypothesis, metric, and keep/cut/improve rule. This follows the Karpathy/autoresearch pattern: run small experiments, measure, keep what improves, discard what does not, and write the learning back into the next block.
| Post | Prior signal / pre-analytics | Hypothesis | Metric + keep/cut rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adventure Rants four modes | Past result: already cleared TikTok as a winner/reference on May 1. Channel gap: IG/FB/YT not yet live in live pull. | Hypothesis: four-mode proof is the clearest Kickstarter explainer, so use it to catch up visual channels that missed the TikTok winner. | Metric: IG/YT views, saves/comments, profile visits, Kickstarter clicks. Keep if it beats channel median or gets product-clarity comments. |
| YogiMagee skinny can | Past result: TikTok winner/reference May 2. Pre-analytics theme: specific use-case content beats generic feature dumping. | Hypothesis: skinny-can mode gives non-KS audience a concrete reason to care, not just another tumbler claim. | Metric: saves, comments about can mode, click-through. Keep if use-case language shows up in comments. |
| Wander S’more vacation packing | Past result: TikTok winner/reference May 3. Strategy source: lifestyle/storytelling and Pack less. Do more. | Hypothesis: travel-packing story explains the system value better than specs. | Metric: saves/shares and comments about packing/travel. Improve if it reads too soft on Kickstarter CTA. |
| Burning River garage walkthrough | Past result: TikTok winner/reference May 4. Strategy source: creator proof and hands-on walkthrough. | Hypothesis: credible creator walkthrough reduces skepticism that four modes is a gimmick. | Metric: retention, comments/questions, Kickstarter clicks. Keep if audience asks product-detail questions. |
Holistic read: May 7-10 is not the ideal steady state. It is a controlled catch-up window caused by TikTok being ahead. The steady state after this should be one asset brief, one hypothesis, one channel-specific caption set, one deconfliction gate, then coordinated posting across TikTok, IG, FB, and YouTube Shorts.
Recommendation: Use this only if we want daily TikTok cadence during the May 7-10 catch-up window.

Caption draft: Coffee tastes better when the kitchen has a view. Back the Hibear tumbler on Kickstarter, then keep the Flask in the morning kit. Pack less. Do more. #Hibear #CampCoffee #OutdoorGear #AdventureFlask
Gate: not scheduled. Needs visual QC + Buffer check + approval.
Why: Camp-coffee scenes will earn saves and comments because they show a familiar outdoor ritual instead of a feature list.
Metric: saves, comments mentioning coffee/camp, profile clicks
Keep/cut: Keep if it clears visual QC and produces above-median saves/watch time; cut or re-caption if comments show product confusion.
