What this case covers
The author seized the SBTI trend, used Codex to build a test website and added payment integration. The article reviews the self-propagation brought by the result poster, Xiaohongshu transactions, and the traffic loss caused by platform restrictions and payment integration being too late.
Questions it answers
- How do test results drive user self-propagation?
- Why can a fast launch still miss the transaction window?
- How does existing website experience affect launch speed?
- How do platform restrictions change the trajectory of trending traffic?
Our observations
- The sharing design lowers the cost of finding the link, but popularity and platform risk are uncontrollable.
- Website visits and Xiaohongshu orders must be counted separately and cannot be mixed into a single conversion calculation.

I think what is truly valuable is that this experience gave me great inspiration for product direction.
