Your capacity to understand things is really of no concern to me but thanks anyway for sharing.

You are correct that I will do everything we can to promote Rikki Six and feel that she will do very well in the adult industry.

I'm just giving you a hard time because of how you feel that porn stars absolutely, positively cannot act. While that may indeed be the case most of the time, it has more to do with the fact that most of the girls are only 20 years old with no formal acting training than it does with the fact that they are porn stars.
While I've never auditioned for anything, I've taken nearly a full year of Strasberg and was always told that the average # of commercial auditions that someone would have to go on before getting their first paid role was 75-100 and that timing has as much or more to do with your initial success than does your talent. So there's a fine line between those who and those who don't. Whether or not a girl's parents will pay her rent for the third straight month can determine whether or not she ends up doing porn or ends up with recurring sitcom role.
If you really feel they are as talentless as you say here in
this thread, then you have no business in signing them to exclusive contracts where they are left void of other options. Plain and simple. Especially if your business model involves wearing them out in 6-12 months.
Whether you like it or not, when you sign a girl to an exclusive contract you have a moral obligation to at least remind her that there is an after porn. Maybe do a tuition reimbursement type thing. When I took the acting classes, I took them because I thought they would help me become better at pretending that I liked my job and my girlfriend. It was right after I had been promoted into a position where I would have more face time with the client so I told my boss that the classes would help me because the client sometimes made me nervous. She didn't believe me but signed off anyway for a full reimbursement. I paid for the second one myself because I didn't want to push it.
Even she only does porn for a year or two, she'll still be a hot girl for a good number of years so maybe try to handpick a few options which are at least somewhat related to the types of jobs that hot girls typically have. In NYC, that would include anything related Art, Design (both Industrial and Graphic), or Fashion. Or Fitness. Probably a waste of money to reimburse for a pole dancing class at Equinox, but a class working towards a Yoga instructor certification is fine.
Don't pick classes at a community college either because community colleges are for losers. Get creative. For example, I got my first Guggenheim membership because I hate having to wait in line and members didn't have to wait in line at the First Fridays parties every month. Also because it seemed like the member events would be great things to take random girls to throughout the year. Since then, I've had multiple memberships at Whitney, MOMA, and Guggenheim. When you add up all the events and seminars over the years from just those memberships, an argument can at least possibly be made that I have the equivalent of a modern art degree. Maybe something like that would be of interest to her or any of the girls you sign in the future. Not sure if the Getty has memberships, but this Klimt exhibition looks nice.

Anyway, congrats and good luck!
