1. Full strategy and execution plan for Notabene’s payment market entry

3. Market validation loops: direct partnership work, GTM alignment, and customer-facing feedback
4. Designing and launching a 0→1 payment feature roadmap in collaboration with product/eng
5. Authoritative decisions on domain prioritization, partner sequencing, and internal resourcing
6. Hiring and scaling a high-trust, high-context payment team after traction is proven
