FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01Can we launch with one category?+
Yes. This helps validate demand and operating rules. We structure categories for later expansion without duplicating the core modules.
02How do we manage spam and duplicates?+
We provide form checks, publication limits, reporting and moderator tools. The platform owner defines final policies and the responsible team.
03Can users message each other?+
Messaging can be a separate module with notifications, limits and reporting. An agreed way to contact authors may be sufficient initially.
04What affects the platform budget?+
Categories, geography, roles, moderation, payments and data volume shape the work. We estimate a first release after mapping the operating rules.
