📋 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Why 16 testers per team?
A: Play Console requires at least 12 testers opted-in to your closed test for at least 14 days, and counts can fluctuate in practice. A team of 16 provides a safety margin so your closed test stays above the threshold.

Q: What if I miss a daily check-in?
A: Occasional misses won't hurt your progress, but missing more than 4 days during the 14-day testing period will deduct TRUST.

Q: Does it work with paid apps?
A: Not at the moment. Team mode needs a free app, and a 100% off sale doesn't count.
