# Tutorial capture list — work already done, packaged as DIY-tier product
qi 2026-08-29 20:01: "make tutorials while doing shit"
Rule: capture the work AS IT HAPPENS. Zero extra effort. Every entry maps to a grid cell.
All of these are fully delivered at checkout -> no CROA nexus, no state registration, sell anywhere.

## Captured tonight (2026-08-29) — ready to produce
1. **"Your registrar locked you in and never told you"**
   Wix sets clientTransferProhibited + clientUpdateProhibited BY DEFAULT. Not ICANN, not a waiting
   period — a toggle. Two years of failed transfer attempts traced to it in one whois lookup.
   Cell: 5-DIY / general ops. Hook: people think they're stuck; they're one checkbox away.
2. **"Your DNS zone does NOT travel with your domain"**
   Registrar move ≠ DNS move. Real case: A records -> GitHub Pages, MX -> Google Workspace, zone
   hosted at the registrar. Transfer without rebuilding = site dark + business mail dead.
   Cell: 5-DIY. Hook: the failure everyone hits once and never forgets.
3. **"The renewal failed because you were fixing the wrong account"**
   Domain lived in one account; the partner was updating cards in a different one. Both people
   "handling it," neither touching the actual billing. Two years.
   Cell: 5-DIY. Hook: multi-account ownership confusion is near-universal in partnerships.
4. **"Read a whois before you believe anyone"**
   whois as ground truth: expiry, lock flags, registrar, nameservers. One command settles what
   support tickets argue about for weeks.
   Cell: 5-DIY / 6-DIY.
