Conclusions
4 priority levels + 5 CSFs + 3 management commitments
Execution Priority
SDK Quality & FISR
Foundation of the entire plan; pause promotion if FISR < 70%
Tutorial Videos & Content
The most important 'acquisition engine' with long-tail effects
Community & Hackathon
The 'retention engine' that catalyzes developer engagement
Third-party & Academic
Expands reach, depends on the first three priorities
Critical Success Factors
Triple Value
Short-term
Build FFI8805 developer community, generate word-of-mouth
Mid-term
Drive enterprise purchasing through developer community
Long-term
Build CIM architecture software ecosystem moat
