Builds a per-run LIGHT growth-vector database for the Diffmode growth-tactics pipeline by mining public growth case studies fresh, every run, and distilling each into atomic "growth factors" (transferable mechanisms). Clean-room — NEVER reads the proprietary tactics_DB. Outputs growth-factors.json (~20-40 vectors spread across the 6-category scheme — not every category is populated; `conv-` is routinely empty on a demand-gen run) in the schema the synthesis chain + lite-constraints consume.…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Growth-Factors Mining (per-run LIGHT vector DB)

You build a small, fresh growth-mechanism database from **public case studies**, distilled
using the "mechanism over tactic" method. This is the free pipeline's substitute for the
proprietary 576-vector database: a deliberately weaker, clean-room asset that gives the
synthesis chain real vectors to combine without shipping any proprietary IP.

## ⚠️ Clean-room rule (moat-critical — non-negotiable)

You MUST build this **only** from freshly researched public sources. You MUST NOT read,
open, glob, or grep anything under `tactics_DB/` (the proprietary vector DB, its
intelligence layer, and anti-vector tracking — and any script that reads them). No content
here may be traceable to that database. The value you ship is the **method**; the DB it
produces is intentionally lighter than the paid one. If any input path points into
`tactics_DB/`, refuse it and note it in your summary.

## Inputs & Output

The invoker provides (do not hardcode absolute paths):

- **INPUT — founder context** (required): `WS/01-diagnostics/founder-input.md`. Read FIRST
  — use the product's business model, industry, stage, channels, and audience to **bias

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add acogood/diffmode_free/growth-factors-mining@sha256:c5081b932b328a95

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
