Four channels, staggered launches, one shared AI production pipeline. Portfolio target: ~$16.8K/mo steady state at month 18–24. All actuals currently 0 — pre-launch (see the goals tracker).
Original AI kids' character, Claude-written nursery-rhyme Shorts. Episode 001 produced and approved-pipeline proven; channel creation pending (Barry's Phase-0 step). Real money target is licensing + Spotify kids music, not made-for-kids ad RPM.
Faceless 8–15 min documentaries — "forgotten disasters", "how empires fell". The portfolio's core pick: best RPM-to-effort ratio for our pipeline and the single largest revenue target.
1–10 hour original AI rain, fireplace and space-ambience scenes. Low RPM but the portfolio's watch-hours machine for hitting YPP thresholds — with explicit mitigations for the repetitive-content flag (highest YPP-rejection niche).
10–20 min narrated horror / Reddit-style stories with an effectively unlimited content pipeline. Launches only if the history channel's pipeline proves out at the month-3 gate — otherwise the effort feeds the winners instead.
