A list of tactics is not an engagement plan.

A download target and a registration step that felt like admin were both described as engagement problems, and the reflex was to add tactics. But no tactic owned a step or a handover, so two stages did the same job and one was missing entirely. Give each stage one job: how the right person discovers it, the single entry point, the useful thing they actually do, a reason to come back or identify themselves, the route to a demonstration or a sale, and what is followed up and learned.

What will they see? What will they do? Why would they do it? What happens next? What do we measure?

See / do / why / next / measure — answer all five or it is still a list.

Six stages, one job each
