The platform you pick is the first thing that can kill it.
Platform choice comes first, and the strategy doc records the platform you rejected and the watch-out that killed it. Then it seeds the first members, sets the rituals and their cadence, writes the moderation rules, and names the health metrics that separate a living community from a graveyard with a logo. Public social channels are suede-social; referral mechanics are suede-referrals.
