1. Foundation

I can describe the customer in specific, observable terms.I can state the problem without describing my solution.I have evidence that this problem matters to real people.I know the assumption that still needs the most testing.

2. Offer

The first offer has a clear scope and intended outcome.The price and payment expectations are understandable.I can explain why someone would choose this now.I know what is deliberately not included yet.

3. Setup

The business name, domain, and contact route are ready.The product or service can be delivered as described.Required accounts, tools, costs, and owners are documented.Privacy, security, terms, and record-keeping needs were reviewed.

4. Launch

The first audience and outreach route are defined.The launch message says who it is for and what it helps with.I know what feedback or signal I will watch first.The first-week support and follow-up plan is realistic.

Before you call it ready: identify the one unchecked item that creates the greatest risk. Make that your next action instead of adding more features.
