Wave 6 · Market & User Validation (batch 2, V-16…V-25) — first-person, privacy-first, delivery by PR. Continues V-1…V-15.
Validates: Claim 7 — payroll supply (employer) · Vertical: C (Payroll)
Context
The other side of payroll: would a small business owner or team lead actually pay staff or contractors in digital dollars? We want the payer's real friction, not a survey.
Share your own experience (if you've paid staff, contractors, or freelancers — privacy-first)
- How do you pay people today (cash, bank/SPEI, remittance service, crypto)? What's the most painful part (timing, fees, cross-border, reconciliation)?
- Have you ever had to pay someone in another country? What made it hard?
- Would automating dispersal so each person gets "dollars" they can spend or cash out locally save you real effort? What would worry you most — control over funds, compliance, or recipients' trust?
- Would you want a rule like "this key can only pay my registered roster, up to the period budget" before you'd trust automation? (We're testing the appetite, not the legality.)
- What would stop you from ever using something like this?
