Know if you're actually ready to launch.
The Launch Readiness Score is a free self-serve preflight: 24 questions across 6 dimensions, a 0–100 score, your blockers ranked by launch risk, and a one-click checklist. No signup. Your answers never leave your browser.
What the score measures
Six dimensions, weighted by how much each one can ruin a launch. Answer honestly — the score is only as good as your answers.
Can it stay up?
Hosting and deploys, DNS and TLS, backups with a tested restore, and a written rollback plan.
Weight: 20%Is it finished?
Complete copy with no placeholders, legal pages, graceful error states, and forms that validate, confirm, and resist spam.
Weight: 15%Can people find it?
SEO basics, an XML sitemap that's actually submitted, analytics on every public page, and social previews that render.
Weight: 15%Will they believe you?
A tested contact route, honest privacy posture, a visible support path, and a findable business identity.
Weight: 15%Is the launch itself planned?
A written staging-to-production checklist, unfinished work flagged or removed, launch comms drafted, and critical flows tested end to end.
Weight: 20%What happens on day two?
Uptime monitoring that alerts a human, error tracking with triage, a named on-call path, and a daily feedback review in week one.
Weight: 15%A sample report
This is what your results look like: an overall score, per-dimension bars, and blockers ranked by launch risk — each with the exact fix.
Nearly ready
Close. Clear the blockers below, re-run the score, and confirm every critical item is ready.
A written rollback plan exists
Write the rollback runbook — artifact to restore, DB snapshot, decision authority — before launch day.
Someone is designated to acknowledge alerts
Name who acknowledges alerts and within what window; list an escalation contact.
Playbooks for every phase
Real launch discipline, written down: the 48 hours before, the DNS cutover, the rollback you rehearse before you need it, launch day itself, week one, and your first incident.
The 48-hour preflight
Scope freeze, final staging pass, backup and restore drill, rollback rehearsal, and the go/no-go call.
DNS cutover
TTL lowering, record verification, certificate timing, the cutover window, and how to roll back.
Rollback runbook
What qualifies as a rollback, who decides, database migration safety, and the post-rollback review.
Launch day
The morning checklist, monitoring posts, comms sequence, triage roles, and the end-of-day review.
Post-launch week
The day-by-day cadence for week one: metrics, bug triage SLAs, feedback review, and the retrospective.
Incident first response
Detect, acknowledge, assess, communicate, mitigate, resolve, review — your first incident, handled calmly.

An honest boundary: this is a self-serve tool. We don't launch anything for you, touch your accounts, or take incident liability. The score is a readiness signal — not a guarantee. Read the honest limits.
