What this launch must achieve, for whom, and how everyone will know. One pass number agreed before ship; missing decisions written in as blockers, never papered over.

No dates are published, so the calendar is relative to a launch day that does not exist yet. Launch-day order: the founders and the employer's HR first, affected customers second, public last.

T-2wk gate: HR briefed, evidence in hand. T-48h: go / no-go, one name.

04 · Blockers, and what we're not doing
The priceBlocks every budget-owner conversation. No fix exists yet: the price test kit has not been run.
The advice lineBlocks the legal seat. Fix already written, in the Claim check.
The homepageBlocks the public day. Rewrite already written, in the positioning report.
Deliberately not doing

Paid ads (the model cannot afford them) · Press · New positioning inside this launch · Consumer feature announcements during the window

05 · The finding
Three blockers hold this launch. Two have fixes already written. The third is the price.
06 · What can't be known
A pass number set before launch is a bet. Day 30 checks it, not the launch-day noise.
The brief is as current as its last weekly pass. Ready, blocked or not started, nothing else, from two weeks out.
The employer's HR team sits inside the internal gate. Their readiness is evidence, not a status.
