## Question
Unit price x 30/100/1000 calls: the budget table for leads.

## Answer in 30 seconds
POST `/tools/channel_launch_kit` on `https://x402vid.com`. Price: **$1.00 USDC** per call (x402, Base `eip155:8453`). Best for: new channels: one topic in, launch package out.

## Copy-paste request
```bash
curl -s -X POST https://x402vid.com/tools/channel_launch_kit \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"topic": "YOUR NICHE", "duration_mins": 10}'
# -> HTTP 402 with accepts (payTo, amount in USDC atomic units).
# Sign with your wallet, retry with: -H 'X-PAYMENT: <base64 payload>'
```

## Response shape (deterministic JSON)
Returns demand validation + full launch script + 5-video cluster + teaser. Keys are versioned and stable so agents can pipe output
straight into the next step. Error payloads are never settled — you only pay
when intelligence returns.

## Cost math
Unit price `$1.00` x volume. 30 calls = $30.00, 100 calls = $100.00, 1000 calls = $1000.00. No subscription, no key rotation, no unused-seat waste.
