## Interview
Ask one question at a time, multiple-choice where possible. Each answer changes a later step. Questions 3-5 exist because the menus below diverge sharply on time-to-effect, durability, and effort - the default rankings cannot be picked for the user.
1. Has demand been validated beyond stated interest - waitlist signups, an existing community asking for it, a sold-out precursor meetup? (If no → `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-market-fit` before anything here.)
2. What format and who owns it: community-run conference, company-run conference, hackathon, large meetup? (Ownership changes more than format does - see the split below.)
3. Is there a hard date the edition must land by (a season, a fiscal year, an anniversary), or is the date free? (A hard deadline promotes the timeline-compression levers; a free
