Recommendation method

How the Stack Builder chooses a path

The builder is designed for creators, solo operators, micro-agencies, small businesses, and AI video ad workflows that need a practical software path. It favors fit and sequence over feature volume, so the recommendation starts with the workflow you need next rather than every tool you might use later.

  • Mode selection keeps the questionnaire focused: creator-launch answers stay separate from AI video ad workflow answers.
  • Business model and offer type decide whether a creator stack should start with a simple launch path, a course-selling path, a WordPress content path, or an agency CRM path.
  • Website preference separates hosted all-in-one tools from WordPress-first stacks so the recommendation does not force extra infrastructure too early.
  • AI video ad answers prioritize source prep, creative generation, landing-page fit, email follow-up, automation, CRM, and campaign measurement without turning Paepae Stack into a generic AI tools directory.
  • Email, automation, budget, and current-tool answers keep the result practical instead of recommending the largest possible software set.
