If I put on my Product Manager hat:

1) Invest in good art

2) Tell me how long it takes to get up and running. Is there a walkthrough that can get me on the leaderboard in 10min? If so, I want to see it (and I don't want to pay).

To get on the leaderboard you need to buy the Steam version or a subscription. There is a free one room sandbox at https://screeps.com/a/#!/sim however

There are 3 more or less competitive open source bots/frameworks: BonzAI, tooAngel, and OCS.

With these you can get started grinding and within 30 days if you invest your own time into code you'll more or less have access to endgame strategies (if someone with 6 months on you doens't wipe out yout).
