What Remains

1. AUS-75: Human email research for 28 blocked gallery domains — needs manual browser work
2. Mailchimp account: Board needs to create Standard plan (€14/mo) and provide API key + Audience ID for email outreach to begin
3. GA4 values: wp-config.php constants need real Measurement ID and API secret

Next Milestone: Catalog Depth

Once first curators are onboarded and the catalog starts growing, the next priority is catalog expansion (100+ items, 5+ categories, improved search/browse).
