First-build pack

Good Morning Tunbridge Wells

Reach Tunbridge Wells and west Kent commuter readers before the town opens.

Market: Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks edge

Language risk: Low: English-language operations only.

Positioning risk: Affluent and source-rich, but weaker population growth and stronger local media mean this should launch with a tight utility angle, not generic lifestyle copy.

Next build steps

Scaffold gate

Step

Keep Tunbridge Wells behind Cheltenham and Bristol unless the editor chooses a Kent/commuter-belt batch.

Step

If scaffolded, create newsletters/good-morning-tunbridge-wells from the generated market pattern, not bespoke Jersey/Guernsey/Moghrey code.

Step

Convert these source lanes into data-sources/source-registry.json and add coverage pages for Royal Tunbridge Wells, Southborough, Rusthall, Pembury, Paddock Wood, Cranbrook, Hawkhurst and the Sevenoaks edge.

Step

Add Buttondown-first env wiring, referral ladder, sponsor inventory, Facebook/social launch pack, Amazon affiliate Products page and static sponsor/reporting pages before public launch.

Step

Run npm run issue:build, npm run website:build and npm run website:check before claiming the repo is built.
