Master GTM — Phase Architecture & Sprint Binding v1.0

Phase 2 of the cascade

Phase Architecture sprint-bound to WG-25

If a sprint slips, the GTM motion for that service line slips with it. Timeline-shift-robust by design.

This document binds the Master GTM rollout to the WG-25 sprint cadence. Every WG-25 sprint activates a specific service-line surface; the GTM motion for that fortnight is the authority push, the proof harvest, the lead-magnet drop, and the channel ignition for that service line. The architecture is timeline-shift-robust — the GTM does not run on a parallel calendar, it runs on the WG-25 calendar.

Each sprint card below specifies, for that fortnight: the named author(s) on the authority push, the authority asset that drops, the proof asset (case study) being published, the channel ignition sequence, the gated lead-magnet (if any), the harmony ratio target, the WG-25 task-tracker codes the GTM motion is dependent on, and the Filter focus for that sprint.

Per-sprint motion does not begin until the WG-25 service line for that sprint is operationally activated. If the sprint slips on the WG-25 side, the GTM motion holds and ships when the service-line goes live.

Pending — non-blocking

Named-author assignments for Stephan-voice content are pending Stephan's Founder Positioning Brief delivery (~Friday 8 May 2026). Gem-voice content is unblocked and ships on the cadence below from Pre-MVP onwards. Service-line author names are TBD until each sprint's service-line lead is appointed; role-spec is named so that when the lead joins, they know what they are stepping into.

Sub-GTM build window — per DT-26

Each sprint also has a sub-GTM build window. The sub-GTM for a service line lands shortly before the sprint that activates it, produced via the sub-gtm-builder skill (Cascade Execution Guide Appendix D). Cadence: Commerce before Sprint 2 · Development before Sprint 3 · Engagement + Products + Growth + CommUnity before Sprint 4 · Content + Identity before Sprint 5 · Intelligence before Sprint 6 · DX before Sprint 7 · Website Release sub-GTM lands ~July 2026 (between Master Phase 8 close and Sept 15 launch). Support sub-GTM already exists — re-alignment pass scheduled. All sub-GTMs are single execution portfolio HTMLs governed by Master Spine, Filter, Gate, and Harmony Calendar (filtered view per service line).

CRITICAL SCOPE BOUNDARY · DT-28

Master GTM and this Phase Architecture govern Webgold Designs Ltd marketing only. WG-25 is the Webgold Designs website. Buzz Media and Buzz Experiences are sister entities within the Webgold organism but are NOT in scope. They will receive their own future GTMs (BC-22 Buzz Media in 2027, BX-23 Buzz Experiences in 2027) following this same cascade methodology.

Pre-MVP

Foundation Voice Warm-Up

Now → April 30 2026

Filter focus: Voice + Brand

The pre-launch window. WG-25 ships in MVP form on April 30 in consultation-only form. The Reef Phase 0 motion is the foundation voice work that lands before the public website goes live — Filter audit of staging copy, founder voice prep, one Gem build-in-public piece test-drop.

Named author(s)

Founder voice (Stephan) opens his organic cadence on FPB delivery (~Fri 8 May) — he writes when topics compel him. Marketing voices (Yohance Quamina-Boyce — Visual & Brand Strategist; Anyah McNeill — Copy & Messaging Strategist; Kevyn — Marketing Assistant 16 hrs/wk) prepare voice and editorial standards for Sprint 1+ contributors and ship one piece introducing the upcoming editorial calendar. Architect voice (Gem, also Marketing Lead in dual capacity until Yohance elevates) authors one build-in-public piece on the Master GTM cascade. Specialist voices not yet activated — Sprint 1 brings the Support service-line lead. Events voice (Megan Gill, Events & Activations Lead) is in flight for CommUnity 2026 prep.

Authority asset

One Gem-authored build-in-public piece test-drop on LinkedIn covering the Master GTM cascade architecture. Tests voice landing before public website goes live.

Proof asset

None this window — Proof Factory not yet activated. Republic Bank case study scoped and intake form completed for Sprint 1 publication.

Channel ignition

Newsletter list seeded from existing client + prospect relationships (target: 100 subscribers by April 30). LinkedIn cadence begins for Gem.

Gated lead-magnet

WG25-MVP-* · WG-25 Staging Copy Audit (Phase 6.3 of cascade) is the gating dependency before April 30 go-live

Filter focus

Voice + Brand. Strip every banned-vocabulary instance from staging copy. Validate founder voice does not ship without ratification. Establish baseline on the four positions.

Critical pre-MVP gate

WG-25 Staging Copy Filter Audit (Phase 6 Application 1 of the cascade) MUST close before April 30 go-live. Every banned-vocabulary instance redlined and replaced. This is the Filter's first authoritative application and the most important pre-launch quality gate.

Sprint 1

Support · Authority Activation Begins

May 1 → 14 2026

Filter focus: Authority + Proof

First public sprint. Support service line activates — SMP/EMP transactional layer goes live, Blog/Resources go live, Team page parallel sprint begins. The Reef begins shipping authority signal at the moment the website becomes substantively explorable.

Named author(s)

Support service-line lead — primary voice this sprint (TBD; role-spec: named, photographed, credentialed Support specialist publishing on the Support discipline). Founder voice (Stephan, organic) — likely publishes on the Caribbean digital support paradigm given the timing, but cadence is his to set. Marketing voices (Anyah McNeill on copy, Yohance Quamina-Boyce on visual, Kevyn supporting) introduce the Webgold Field Notes newsletter. Architect voice (Gem) — one build-in-public piece on the SMP/EMP architecture decision. Multi-voice mix; specialist primary.

Authority asset

Stephan opinion piece: "Why Caribbean SMEs need a different support paradigm" (anchor opening of founder voice). Gem build-in-public piece: Architecture of SMP/EMP and how it solves the translation tax in support. Support lead introduction: bylined post + LinkedIn announcement. Total 3 named-author pieces this sprint.

Sprint 2

Commerce · Owned Audience Ignites

May 15 → 28 2026

Filter focus: Channel ignition

Commerce service line activates. CommUnity event page and registration go live. The first gated research asset drops — the moment the owned-audience flywheel begins. WhatsApp Business activates for direct relationship surface.

Named author(s)

Commerce specialist — primary voice this sprint (TBD; role-spec: e-commerce strategist with PowerTranz integration depth, publishing on Caribbean commerce realities). Founder voice (Stephan, organic) — likely an opinion piece on Caribbean e-commerce (payments, FX, regional shipping, consumer trust) anchored to the gated asset launch. Marketing voices co-author the gated research asset with the Commerce specialist. Architect voice (Gem) — occasional architecture piece on the Solution Suite Tier system. Specialist + marketing primary; founder organic.

Authority asset

Stephan Caribbean e-commerce opinion piece — anchored to the gated asset launch. Commerce lead introduction piece. CommUnity event teaser content from Stephan + Gem co-authored.

Proof asset

Channel ignition. Position 4 (owned audience) gets its first major activation via the gated research asset. WhatsApp activation requires Filter validation that direct-channel content respects the brand voice on a less-controlled surface.

Sprint 3

Development · Build-in-Public Cadence Formalises

May 29 → Jun 11 2026

Filter focus: Earned media

Development service line activates. The build-in-public LinkedIn cadence moves from ad-hoc to formal — Gem ships architecture content on a fixed schedule. First named-partnership outreach begins (per WG-21.4 reactivation). PR pitches go out to Caribbean business media for the first time.

Named author(s)

Development lead — primary voice this sprint (TBD; role-spec: senior full-stack architect with WordPress + headless experience). Founder voice (Stephan, organic) — likely an opinion piece on technology procurement in the Caribbean. Marketing voices on outreach announcements as PR pitches go out.

WG-25 tracker codes

WG25-S3-001 through WG25-S3-xxx · Development service-line activation

Filter focus

Earned media. Filter validates pitches before they leave; PR pieces must advance Position 1 (named expert) and Position 2 (Caribbean opinion) — generic firm-PR not approved.

Sprint 4 · Tempo Surge

Engagement + Products + Growth · CommUnity Week

Jun 12 → 25 2026 · CommUnity event Jul 2

Filter focus: Tempo high

The biggest sprint of the rollout. Three service lines activate simultaneously (Engagement, Products, Growth). CommUnity 2026 takes place on July 2 (PRos & COMMS conference) — Webgold sponsorship moment. The first case study from a live Sprint 1 client engagement ships. Email nurture sequence #1 goes live. The Reef has its first full-volume tempo week.

Named author(s)

Three specialist voices in parallel — primary this sprint: Engagement lead, Products lead, Growth lead (all TBD per role-spec; each authors their own service-line piece). Founder voice (Stephan, organic) — CommUnity stage opinion piece + post-event recap (he\'s on stage; he writes around it). Marketing voices on the CommUnity ramp + the first published case study with named client + outcome metric. Architect voice (Gem) — one build-in-public piece on the tri-pillar architecture. Three specialist voices + founder + marketing — the Reef\'s widest authorship moment of Phase 0.

Authority asset

Tri-pillar push — three named-author pieces dropping the same week (Engagement, Products, Growth). Stephan CommUnity stage opinion piece — published as bylined post pre-event, presented as keynote at CommUnity, then post-event recap with audience reactions. The Reef's first triple-positioning moment.

Proof asset

First case study from a live engagement — a Sprint 1 client whose Support engagement has matured to publishable outcomes. Named client + named consultant + quantified outcome metric. The Proof Factory's first non-anchor publication.

Channel ignition

CommUnity event week ignition — full distribution: LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube event clip, newsletter event recap. Email nurture sequence #1 launches — runs to all gated-asset downloaders + event attendees post-CommUnity. Newsletter target: 700-900 subscribers.

Gated lead-magnet

None this sprint (Sprint 5 brings the second). CommUnity event itself functions as the lead-magnet via attendee email capture.

Harmony ratio target

45 / 15 / 10 / 30

Event surge — the only sprint where event content dominates over authority

WG-25 tracker codes

WG25-S4-001 through WG25-S4-xxx · Engagement + Products + Growth tri-activation · CommUnity event execution + post-event recap pages

Filter focus

Tempo high. The Tempo Gate runs daily this fortnight, not weekly — the volume of motion across three service lines + CommUnity event week requires more aggressive coordination. Filter validates that event content does not drift into sales pitch on stage.

CommUnity 2026 — Jul 2 (PRos & COMMS conference)

Webgold sponsorship moment. The Reef's first major external proof event. Stephan keynote + Gem panel appearance + Webgold-attached named clients on stage where possible. The room becomes a Reef structure visible to the whole Caribbean digital community for one day.

Sprint 5

Content + Identity · Second Gated Asset Drops

Jun 26 → Jul 9 2026

Filter focus: Owned audience

Content and Identity service lines activate simultaneously. Second gated research asset drops — the owned audience compounds. Speaker positioning for Q3/Q4 events booked (post-CommUnity momentum). The cadence is established now; this is steady-state operation.

Named author(s)

Content lead + Identity lead — primary voices this sprint (both TBD per role-spec: strategic content director and senior brand identity strategist). Marketing voices co-author the second gated research asset with the Identity lead — this is the marketing function\'s territory. Founder voice (Stephan, organic) — likely an opinion piece on brand identity in Caribbean SMEs anchored to the asset. Architect voice (Gem) — steady cadence, lighter sprint. Two specialists + marketing primary.

Authority asset

Stephan brand identity opinion — anchored to the gated asset. Content + Identity lead pieces. CommUnity post-event analysis from Stephan's stage moment.

Proof asset

Continued case study cadence — second case study from a live Sprint 1-2 engagement.

Channel ignition

Speaker positioning for Q3/Q4 events booked. Outreach to regional industry conferences, podcasts, named partners. Newsletter target: 1,100 subscribers (post-CommUnity inflow).

Gated lead-magnet

Second T&T-specific gated asset — provisional title: "T&T SME Brand Identity Benchmark 2026" or similar (final scope set with Identity lead). Email gate. Stephan + Identity lead co-authored.

Harmony ratio target

55 / 15 / 15 / 15

Steady-state cadence resumes

WG-25 tracker codes

WG25-S5-001 through WG25-S5-xxx · Content + Identity service-line activations

Filter focus

Owned audience. Position 4 gets its second major activation. Filter validates that the gated asset earns its email-gate threshold (substantive enough to warrant the exchange).

Sprint 6 · Highest-Stakes Pillar

Intelligence · The AI Authority Anchor

Jul 10 → 23 2026

Filter focus: Opinion leadership

Intelligence service line activates — the highest-stakes pillar. Webgold's anchor opinion piece on AI for Caribbean SMEs publishes this sprint. The audit confirmed AI is the topic with disproportionate inbound impact and the position least claimed in the T&T market — this sprint is where Webgold makes its strongest opinion-leadership move of Phase 0.

Named author(s)

Intelligence / AI strategist — primary voice this sprint (TBD; role-spec: senior AI strategy lead with regulatory + procurement depth — this is the most authority-disproportionate role on the team). Founder voice (Stephan, organic) — likely co-authors or supports the anchor opinion piece given the AI angle of the white-space claim. Marketing voices on distribution coordination across podcast pitches + AI-themed media outreach. Architect voice (Gem) — one architecture piece on Webgold\'s AI integration patterns. AI strategist primary; founder co-anchoring.

Authority asset

Anchor opinion piece — "AI for Caribbean SMEs in 2026: what most businesses are getting wrong." Stephan-led, AI strategist co-authored. The single most important opinion piece of Phase 0. Distributed everywhere: LinkedIn long-form, newsletter feature, X thread, YouTube companion video, podcast pitch follow-up. Gem AI integration architecture piece.

Proof asset

Case study showing AI-enabled outcome — ideally a Sprint 1-3 client whose engagement has produced a measurable AI-driven result. If unavailable, anchor case study with retrospective AI-angle reframing.

Channel ignition

AI-themed media outreach. Pitches to AI-focused podcasts, regional tech publications, LinkedIn AI communities. Newsletter target: 1,400 subscribers.

Gated lead-magnet

None this sprint. Sprint 7 brings the 4D Framework asset.

Filter focus

Opinion leadership. The anchor AI opinion piece is Position 2's highest-leverage moment of Phase 0. Filter validates: named position by paragraph 3, evidence by paragraph 5, what-we-believe close. Pieces missing these are returned for rework before publication.

Sprint 7 · Flagship Activation

DX / Transformation · DX Authority Headline Week

Jul 24 → Aug 6 2026

Filter focus: DX Authority

The flagship service line activates. DX Authority — the headline programme through to Sep 15 per DEC-MGTM-005 — gets its full activation. Anchor case study, gated 4D framework asset, named-expert thought leadership campaign. This is the culmination of the pre-launch authority build.

Named author(s)

DX / Transformation lead — primary voice this sprint (TBD; role-spec: senior transformation strategist with named-client transformation track record). Founder voice (Stephan) — DX Authority anchor opinion + 4D framework introduction (this is one of the few sprints where Stephan\'s organic publishing predictably aligns with the campaign moment). Marketing voices co-author the gated 4D Framework asset and run the named-expert thought leadership campaign coordination. Architect voice (Gem) — architecture deep-dive on the Diagnose-Design-Deliver-Sustain methodology. Named client perspective piece (where consent secured). The largest authorship push of Phase 0 — multi-voice campaign.

Authority asset

DX Authority full activation campaign. Multi-piece campaign across the fortnight: Stephan anchor opinion, Gem methodology piece, DX lead introduction, named-client perspective piece (where consent secured). The campaign is the largest single authority push of Phase 0.

Proof asset

DX case study with quantified transformation outcome. Ideally a Sprint 1-3 engagement that has matured to a Diagnose-stage publishable result. Named client + named consultant + quantified outcome.

Channel ignition

Full DX positioning across all channels. Speaker bookings ratified for Q3/Q4 with DX Authority framing. Caribbean Digital Awards Ceremony positioning groundwork begins for 2027 activation. Newsletter target: 1,700 subscribers.

Gated lead-magnet

The 4D Framework asset. Webgold's Diagnose-Design-Deliver-Sustain methodology as a downloadable framework reference. Email gate. Co-authored Stephan + Gem + DX lead. Highest-substance gated asset of Phase 0.

Harmony ratio target

55 / 15 / 15 / 15

DX Authority surge inside the authority share

WG-25 tracker codes

WG25-S7-001 through WG25-S7-xxx · DX / Transformation flagship service-line activation

Filter focus

DX Authority. Filter validates that DX-themed motions advance the headline framing without spilling into broader Digital Authority claims (transition is staged for Sep 15+). DX is specifically positioned through Sprint 7 per DEC-MGTM-005 RESOLVED.

DEC-MGTM-005 reminder

DX Authority is the active headline through Sprint 7. Sep 15 full launch transitions to broader Digital Authority framing. Sprint 7 is the last sprint where DX Authority owns the headline; after this, the framing broadens. Filter is calibrated to this transition.

Buffer · Hardening

Optimisation, Proof Harvest, Pre-Launch Tempo Build

Aug 7 → Sep 14 2026

Filter focus: Posture review

The buffer window. WG-25 hardens, optimises, and prepares for full public launch. The Reef enters its second proof-harvest phase — case studies from Sprint 1-7 client engagements that have matured. Channels optimise based on the first three months of signal data. The Tempo Gate runs its first quarterly Launch Posture review at end-buffer.

Named author(s)

All voice lanes sustained — founder voice (Stephan, organic), specialist voices (every service-line lead activated through Sprint 1-7), marketing voices, architect voice (Gem). One retrospective Phase 0 review piece authored by the architect voice. New named contributors begin onboarding for post-launch cadence ramp.

Authority asset

Sustained cadence (no surge). One retrospective piece on the Reef's Phase 0 build — Gem-authored, public review of what worked, what didn't, and what the Reef looks like at full launch.

Proof asset

Second proof harvest. Sprint 1-7 client engagements that have matured to publishable outcomes get scoped into the Proof Factory. Target: 4-6 published case studies live by Sep 15 launch.

Channel ignition

Channel optimisation based on first-three-months data. Channels underperforming relative to harmony ratio targets are rebalanced or pulled back per Tempo Gate ruling. Final Filter sweep across all WG-25 surfaces and all in-flight content for full-launch readiness.

Gated lead-magnet

None new. Existing three gated assets (T&T Marketing Benchmark, Brand Identity Benchmark, 4D Framework) remain active.

Launch Posture Gate · quarterly review

End-buffer (mid-September), Stephan + Gem run the first formal Launch Posture Gate review. Decisions ratified at this gate set the operating posture for Phase 1 of the Reef (Sep 15 onwards) — paid media activation budget, transactional checkout announcement timing, full-launch event format, DX → Digital Authority transition execution.

Sep 15 onwards · Phase 1 of the Reef

WG-25 Full Public Launch · Reef Inhabited

September 15 2026 → 2027

Filter focus: Full launch posture

The Reef enters its inhabited phase. Master GTM transitions from low-volume authority posture to full-volume distributed posture. Paid media activates. Speaking and earned media programme intensifies. The headline framing transitions from DX Authority to broader Digital Authority. The Reef has crossed its break-even projection (per §11) and revenue compounds from this point forward.

Named author(s)

All voices, sustained cadence. New named contributors — onboarded during buffer — begin their published cadence. Editorial standard applies to all (position-by-paragraph-three, evidence-by-paragraph-five, what-we-believe-close).

Authority asset

Sustained named-author publishing across all channels. Full-launch anchor piece — Stephan-led — establishing the Digital Authority headline (transition from DX Authority). Cadence ramp: Stephan to 2 pieces/month, Gem to 1 piece/week, named contributors to 1 piece/quarter minimum.

Proof asset

6-8 case studies live at full launch. Proof Factory at one-per-fortnight cadence (target sustained from Q1 2027). Republic Bank, Atlantic LNG, MultiBank anchors plus Sprint 1-7 client outcomes.

Channel ignition

Paid media activation begins. Initial paid budget per Launch Posture Gate ruling (working assumption: TT$5K-10K/mo October, ramping to TT$15K-25K/mo by Q1 2027). Speaking + earned media programme intensifies — booked engagements activate. Newsletter cadence moves from fortnightly to weekly.

Gated lead-magnet

Fourth gated asset launches at or near Sep 15 (sustained cadence target: 4-6 per year from this point).

The Reef enters its inhabited phase

September 15 is not the Reef finished. It is the Reef inhabited — the structure is healthy enough, and visible enough, that prospects arrive through invitation rather than chase, through curiosity rather than cold outreach, through choice rather than pressure. Phase 1 of the Reef construction (Sep 15 → 2027) is the compounding phase. Phase 0 has done its work.
