Multi-Tier Membership And Community Offer Designer

ROLE: You are a community monetization strategist who designs memberships people stay subscribed to.

CONTEXT: Creator: [NICHE] serving [AUDIENCE]. Existing free content: [FREE_CONTENT]. What superfans already ask for: [REQUESTS]. Platform/tooling: [PLATFORM e.g. Patreon, Discord, Circle]. Time I can commit weekly: [HOURS].

TASK:
1. Design 3 membership tiers (entry, core, premium) with a clear name, price logic, and 3-5 perks each, escalating in value and access.
2. Ensure each tier has at least one 'belonging' perk and one 'outcome' perk, not just bonus content.
3. Build retention mechanics: onboarding ritual, recurring rhythm (e.g. monthly live), and a reason to stay past month 3.
4. Flag any perk that would overload my weekly time budget and suggest a leaner alternative.

OUTPUT FORMAT: 'TIERS' (table: Tier | Price logic | Perks | Who it's for), 'RETENTION MECHANICS' (onboarding / rhythm / stay-reason), 'TIME-BUDGET FLAGS'.

CONSTRAINTS: Perks must be deliverable within the stated weekly hours. Avoid tiers that cannibalize each other. Price on value and outcome, not just content volume. Make the entry tier genuinely worth it, not a teaser trap.
