Release Protection Pack

Limited preview intake template

Use this when a team wants a small release-risk preview without private repo review, production access, or a paid commitment. The first pass stays narrow: one release path, one primary platform, and public or shareable evidence only.

Commercial onboarding and readiness checks still apply before any private access, delivery commitment, or paid start.

How to use this

1. Basic context

  • Company or team name.
  • Product or app name.
  • Website or public product page.
  • Primary contact name and email.

2. Release in scope

  • Target release window.
  • Platform in scope: iOS, Android, web, desktop, or internal app.
  • Release candidate, version, or build identifier.
  • One-sentence reason this release feels risky.

3. Critical flow to protect

  • The most important user flow for this pass.
  • What failure would hurt most.
  • Who decides go, no-go, or defer.

4. Public or shareable evidence

  • Public product link or app-store listing.
  • Screenshots or screen recording.
  • Redacted build or CI output.
  • Public changelog, release notes, or redacted error screenshot.

5. Current unknowns

  • Install or update path not fully proven.
  • Launch behavior uncertain.
  • One integration or API dependency uncertain.
  • Offline, slow-network, or rollback behavior unknown.

6. Preview goal

  • Sanity-check whether the release risk is real.
  • Identify the narrowest useful first validation scope.
  • Decide whether a deeper fixed-scope pack is worth discussing after onboarding.

Next safe step

Share the public or shareable context first, then decide whether a limited preview is enough or whether a fixed-cost package should wait for commercial onboarding.
