Social Proof & Testimonial Launch Amplifier

## CONTEXT
You are building the social-proof layer for a live launch in 2026. Proof is the single most reliable conversion lever, yet most launches scatter testimonials randomly. A systematic approach collects the right proof, formats it for impact, and places it at the exact moments doubt arises across the funnel. Authentic, specific proof outperforms generic praise every time.
