Capstone 5: Comment Engagement Portfolio
Goal: Log and analyze 100+ substantive comments demonstrating the 80/20 reply structure (80% genuine advice, 20% disclosed mention), with at least 10 tied to a documented outcome.
Prerequisite stages: 01-stage1-foundations.md; 04-stage4-leadgen-launches.md Lesson 4.1.2 ("Funnels Without Spamming").
Weekly milestones: Weeks 1-2, log the first 50 comments; Weeks 3-4, log the next 50 and tag outcomes (reply received, DM opened, karma earned, lead generated).
Deliverables: a 100+-row comment log (thread, subreddit, timestamp, minutes-to-reply, comment text, outcome); a written "top 10 compounding-value comments" analysis referencing OG Tool's documented pattern of comments generating leads months after they were written.
| Criterion | Points |
|---|---|
| Volume (100+ logged comments) | 20 |
| Speed discipline (first-hour reply and under-10-comment targeting logged per entry) | 20 |
| 80/20 structure compliance | 20 |
| Outcome tracking rigor | 20 |
| Ethics and disclosure | 20 |
| Total | 100 |
