Trigger: Twelve-step sponsorship relies on regular sponsor-sponsee contact and step work between meetings. Budget signal: Low monthly subscription paid by the sponsor for multiple sponsee threads.

Trigger: AI-assisted product work and managed infrastructure reduce the first-version cost. Budget signal: $49-$499/month
- **Hands-on operator willing to pilot a narrow tool before a full rollout.**: Anonymity-by-design limits identity verification, which can be abused, and the app must avoid offering clinical or treatment advice.
