88% of high-earning 'Entrepreneurial Creators' leverage their own websites and 75% have membership communities, compared to 'Social-First' creators who earn 189% less. The income differential provides economic evidence that owned platforms create different (and more valuable) audience relationships.
### Additional Evidence (confirm)

Critical Role maintained Beacon (owned subscription platform) simultaneously with Amazon Prime distribution. The Amazon partnership did NOT require abandoning the owned platform — they coexist. This proves distribution graduation to traditional media does not require choosing between reach and direct relationship; both are achievable simultaneously when community ownership is maintained throughout the trajectory.

PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[progressive validation through community building reduces development risk by proving audience demand before production investment]]
WHY ARCHIVED: Critical Role is the most complete distribution graduation case study — Twitch → owned platform → Amazon while maintaining community. Validates Session 3's distribution graduation pattern with a more complete data set than existed in the original KB claims.
EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on the graduation arc (each step validates before investing more) and the TTRPG editorial model (DM authority = creative coherence that made Amazon want the IP). The 100% RT score across both series is the quality validation.
