We recommend finding a developer with a blocked task and helping them complete it in their own environment. Two practical starting points are hands-on installation, as described in our Stripe case, and answering a specific integration request, as described in our Zapier case. Track the blocker, configuration, inputs, outputs, prerequisites, limits, completed operations, failures, and unknown outcomes. Separate assisted from unassisted attempts, turn repeated explanations into detailed integration pages, and fix setup or usefulness problems before widening acquisition.
