Idea Capture
Capture the idea, intent, and measurable outcome.
- North star statement is clear
- Success metrics are defined

Go Live Review
The final go/no-go gate, plus Devon cutting the venture over to its production domain and TLS.
Chief of Staff
The final go/no-go gate, plus Devon cutting the venture over to its production domain and TLS. Set the production domain in the project profile (e.g. myapp.com) — Devon needs this to point live DNS. Review risks/mitigations and confirm monitoring and alerts. Cut over to production — Devon points the production host + TLS (approval-gated via Foreman).
How to do it
- 1.Set the production domain in the project profile (e.g. myapp.com) — Devon needs this to point live DNS.
- 2.Review risks/mitigations and confirm monitoring and alerts.
- 3.Cut over to production — Devon points the production host + TLS (approval-gated via Foreman).
This will be saved to your project profile and is required for Devon to set up live DNS and TLS.
All steps & checklists
Operational Flow
Guided delivery path from idea to live operations. Current lane: Testing.
Idea → Refinery
Done
Build Plan
Turn idea into an implementation path and milestones.
- Phase 1 scope is defined
- Milestones and dependencies captured
Refinery
Finalize the guided pass before handoff to build lane.
- Review gate is complete
- Push-to-testing rationale recorded
Testing / Beta Build Ops
Tools & DB Prep
Prepare data model, services, credentials, and operational tooling.
- Dedicated Supabase project provisioned (Dewey)
- Database schema/migrations are ready
- Service credentials and env vars are configured
- External integrations are staged (APIs, webhooks)
Git Prep
Provision the project repository, then set branch strategy and PR checks.
- Dedicated project repository provisioned (GitHub Gary)
- Branch and merge strategy agreed
- Preflight checks pass (format/lint/test gates)
- Release notes or change log started
Prebuild Review
Final review before entering build execution.
- Scope lock confirmed (no new feature creep)
- Acceptance criteria are frozen
- Owner sign-off captured for full build run
Build Run
Execute the full build and integration pass.
- Build run initiated
- Build and automated checks complete successfully
- Build artifacts are published and accessible
Beta / Progress Testing
Validate the build on the designated beta URL.
- Beta URL is assigned (e.g. example.pufu.ai)
- Smoke tests pass on beta URL
- Operator acceptance testing is complete
Deep DB Review
Verify migrations, integrity, and performance before live.
- Migration integrity verified
- Backfill and data integrity reviewed
- Rollback and restore plan is documented
Subsystem Readiness
Confirm every critical subsystem is release ready.
- Dashboard layer readiness confirmed
- Backend/services readiness confirmed
- Frontend/UI readiness confirmed
- Stripe/payment readiness confirmed
- User/auth management readiness confirmed
- Marketing/comms readiness confirmed
Go Live Review
Final go/no-go gate for production launch.
- Risks and mitigations reviewed
- Monitoring/alerts are configured
- Final launch approval is captured
Required before running cutover. Set your production domain above.
Live Management
Live Management
Operate, observe, and iterate post-launch.
- Post-launch monitoring cadence active
- User feedback loop is active
- Next iteration backlog is maintained
This phase becomes editable in the Live lane.
