Launch Readiness Audit Methodology

Ready? Check… Launch! reviews whether an AI-built app is ready for real users, private data, payments, paid traffic, demos, or handoff. The output is a practical verdict and fix order, not a certification.

Review principles

The review combines stack-specific evidence, a repeatable checklist, and human launch judgment.

Practical review

This is practical launch-readiness review, not certification. It does not replace a penetration test, compliance audit, legal review, or dedicated security assessment.

Defined checklist

The audit is grounded in a defined checklist covering break, leak, lose-money, regression, and operate-blind risks.

Vendor-specific checks

Review categories include Vercel deployment and environment checks, Supabase RLS/auth/data-access checks, and Stripe webhook/subscription checks.

Human verdict

Human judgment produces the final verdict because launch risk depends on business context, user exposure, data sensitivity, and deadline pressure.

Automation as support

Automated checks can support the review, but they do not replace code, configuration, product-flow, and launch-context review.

Checklist categories

The exact checklist depends on the app and scope, but the core categories stay consistent.

Public product flow and launch-critical user paths
Repo structure, build scripts, dependency posture, and generated-code hotspots
Vercel or Netlify production/preview environment assumptions
Supabase RLS, auth boundaries, storage assumptions, and data-access paths
Stripe Checkout, webhooks, subscriptions, entitlements, retries, and live/test separation
Secrets handling, client/server boundaries, and environment variable drift
Smoke tests, CI gates, monitoring, logging, rollback, and launch-day handoff notes
Beta audit spots available
