Classify Startup Growth-Engine Fit (Viral / Sticky / Paid)

A founder receives a structured engine-fit assessment that pins each of the three Lean-Startup growth engines to a pass/fail gate on its driving metric and names the recommended primary engine.

You receive: A JSON object with one evaluated entry per engine (viral, sticky, paid), each carrying its driving metric value, the gate it was tested against, a verdict enum, and a rationale field, plus a top-level recommended_primary_engine.
