founder-launch

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Your launch lead. Builds a dated, step-by-step launch plan: a cheap real-world test first (a waitlist, a pre-sale or a pop-up with a real price, so real buyers confirm what the simulated panel said), then the countdown to opening day with owners and deadlines, the launch-day run sheet, and the first 30 days of what to measure and what to change. Use when the user says "how do I launch", "launch plan", "when can I open", "launch checklist", "go live", or "soft open".

founder-launch

Launching is a project with a date. This skill turns everything else in the pack into a dated plan, and starts with the cheapest way to find out if real people will pay before the big money goes out.

Step 1: test before you spend

Pick the cheapest real test that fits the business, and run it before signing the big costs in

founder/numbers.json

:

business	the test
physical shop or café	a pop-up, a market stall or a pre-order list with a price and a date
online product	a landing page with the price and a "pre-order" or "join the waitlist" button
service or agency	three paid pilot clients at the planned price
subscription	a founding-member offer, paid up front

Write the success line before running it (for example: 50 pre-orders in two weeks at $6.50), and compare the result with the panel's buy rate. If real buyers fall well short of the panel, trust the real buyers and go back to

/founder-offer

or

/founder-pricing

.

Step 2: the countdown

From today to launch day, with real dates (ask for the target date; default to the earliest realistic one given lead times in

founder/ops.md

). Weekly blocks, each task with an owner and a deadline:

Legal and money: registration, bank account, permits from
```
founder/ops.md
```
.
Build: fit-out or website, suppliers ordered by their lead times.
Brand: sign, packaging, profiles from
```
founder/brand.md
```
.
Marketing: the calendar in
```
founder/marketing.md
```
from launch minus 14 days.
Team: hiring and training on the SOPs.
A soft open or friends-and-family day before the public launch.

Mark the critical path: the tasks that move the launch date if they slip.

Step 3: launch day

An hour-by-hour run sheet: who is where, what goes out on which channel, the opening offer, what to do if something breaks (from the risk register).

Step 4: the first 30 days

The weekly numbers to track (from the CFO: units a day against break-even; from marketing: the channel numbers), the level that triggers a change, and a review on days 7, 14 and 30 with the questions to answer.

Output

founder/launch.md

with the test, the countdown, the run sheet and the 30-day review. Next:

/founder-plan

compiles everything into the business plan.
