Not to be rude, but I'm not sure that advertising your product like this is accepted under the forum rules.
I'm going to flag and Paizo can review.
Yeah, I don't know the details on that either.
I think worst-case it would be moved to the Third Party Products section.
... Oh look. It is already also there.
I imagine it might be more okay in third-party where you also posted, but... yeah, dropping a copy-paste ad at the very least doesn't fit the vibe here.
On the flip side, I'm happy to see third-party producing what seems like good quality work from the quick look I took. Just... maybe talk about it, rather than pasting something that comes across as a bit spam-bot-ish?
I did a little search, and there was a reddit post from someone at the company talking a bit about making the adventure. That sort of thing would be more appropriate, if there's time to talk about the conversion work or something.
How is an adventure that covers levels 1-4 a oneshot?

If you don't follow the normal rules for levelling it's possible...but people probably would need to have their character choices already selected to minimize the time required for leveling. And it's probably going to take all day to do this "one shot".
Let's say you play super fast with fast progression. A session takes 3 hours.
To make L2 in 2 sessions: 6 hours
To make L3 in 3 sessions: 9 hours
To make L4 in 3 sessions: 9 hours
Total time not counting rest: 24 hours
I can already imagine the discord post for this one: Hey, looking for 4 speed players for quick oneshot. Game will take 24-32 hours depending on whether we vote to sleep or not. Astronaut grade mandiapers recommended to limit break time. Game starts in 30 minutes! Have a good mic, no drama pls.

I think you're underlying assumptions here are wrong.
There is no need to have a 'session' be 3 hours. Or for reaching any level take a specific number of sessions. You're trying to hard to make an example that adheres somewhat to the normal rules of levelling.
It's much easier to imagine someone using plot based level and say "You're level up from level 1 to level 2 after you investigate the initial plot hook (no fights). Then you'll level up to 3 after you investigate this cave area which could have 3 fights. And you'll level up to 4 on the way to the BBEG fight. I expect this to take around 10 hours to play."
Making an example that adheres to the normal rules of leveling is easy. I'm not upset. I think it's funny to look at the "normal" outcome.
Your idea is fine, too. 10 hours is not a one shot in my book either, but I'm old.

I guess my point was, it's possible to make this kind of thing a one shot, but when leveling happens is not going to follow anything close to the normal rules.
And I'd also probably not play a 10 hr long session, but if it can be reasonably played in 1 day I'd still call it a one shot. To me "normal" one shots are 3-ish hours but also don't typically involve any leveling up. I can imagine scenarios where this works, but you gotta have the right group.
Back in our prime gaming, my group of friends and I would often play for like 6 hours on Sunday. Getting together around noon and playing until dinner time.
