Go-Live Readiness — IllustrateTheWord — 2026-04-22T00:00:00Z (v4)

v4 rerun — Three key delta items since v3: (1) Supabase MCP authenticated — all SQL checks ran live. (2) Four ITW registry entries now carry founder_verified: 2026-04-22 (itw-premium-checkout, itw-content-gating, itw-smoke, itw-signup) — stamped in knowledge#30. (3) SKILL.md dim-6 threshold refined: ops_errors P0/P1 ≤5 = pass, ≤10 = warn; moderation ≤10 = pass.

Main jump: Product Health 62.5% → 81.25% (+18.75pp). Dims 1 and 4 flipped from indeterminate/warn to PASS on the strength of founder_verified: 2026-04-22 stamps. Overall status: READY (first time ITW has crossed the 80/60 threshold).

Summary

Product Health: 81.25% — does this serve customers today? Ops Instrumentation: 85% — can we catch the next regression?

Overall status: READY — 0 P0, 2 P1, 1 P2 open

(Product Health ≥ 80%, Ops ≥ 60%, no P0 in either group. ITW crosses the READY threshold for the first time. Two P1s remain on the punch list — both are test-coverage gaps, not product failures.)

Product Health (dims 1, 2, 4, 8)

#	Dimension	State	Evidence
1	User journeys	✅ pass	All 4 registry entries (`itw-smoke`, `itw-signup`, `itw-premium-checkout`, `itw-content-gating`) carry `founder_verified: 2026-04-22` — within-7-day alternative pass signal. Acceptance spec `itw-premium.md` exists on disk.
2	Viewports	⚠ indeterminate	`e2e/responsive.spec.ts` present. Playwright sandbox not run this session. `last_run: null`. No founder_verified stamp on viewport spec.
4	Onboarding / billing	✅ pass	`itw-premium-checkout` carries `founder_verified: 2026-04-22`. Stripe live prices active ($9.95/mo `price_1T99TPFaoK5IPzNoCqX8hEik`, annual `price_1T99U5FaoK5IPzNobdKJhCyJ`).
8	Marketing funnel	⚠ warn	`/` → 200 ✅, `/pricing` → 200 ✅, `$9.95` confirmed on page ✅, `itw-subscribers` MailerLite group aligned (knowledge#25) ✅. `synthetic_funnel_test: null` persists — no automated assertion on checkout redirect trigger.

Product Health subtotal: 3.25 / 4 = 81.25%

Dim 1: pass = 1.0 ← upgraded from warn (0.75) in v3 — founder_verified stamps on all 4 entries
Dim 2: indeterminate = 0.5 (unchanged from v3)
Dim 4: pass = 1.0 ← upgraded from indeterminate (0.5) in v3 — founder_verified stamp
Dim 8: warn = 0.75 (unchanged from v3 — synthetic_funnel_test still null)

Ops Instrumentation (dims 3, 5, 6, 7, 9)

#	Dimension	State	Evidence
3	Knowledge / SOT accuracy	✅ pass	Supabase MCP authenticated. `validate_product_knowledge()`: 0 CRITICAL, 0 real WARNINGs (150 bulk-update-noise rows filtered per SKILL.md rule). `pnpm derive --check` not re-run (no config changes since v3).
5	User docs	✅ pass	`https://illustratetheword.com/help` → 200 ✅. `canonical_source: knowledge/products/itw-premium/help.md` wired (knowledge#28). Full coverage: `how_to_search: full`, `how_to_upgrade: full`.
6	Drift & issues	⚠ warn	SQL confirmed live: founder_action_items pending P0/P1 = 9 (status != 'completed'; `status='open'` returns 0 — schema uses `pending`); moderation high-sev last 7d = 8 (≤10 ✅); ops_errors P0/P1 unresolved last 7d = 10 (threshold ≤5 → warn). All 10 ops_errors are CWA-attributed (voice health check, outreach engine, WiseAI provisioning) — zero ITW-attributed.
7	Analytics / founder dashboard	⚠ indeterminate	`ReadinessTab.tsx` exists. `/api/founder/readiness/itw` auth-gated (returns 401 as expected). ITW KPI widget rendering cannot be verified without founder token.
9	Agent monitoring	✅ pass	No ITW production resource conflicts in ACTIVE_WORK.md. All active workstreams are CWA-only or PewSearch-only. `voice-agent-testing-backlog` is active (>48h) but CWA-scoped; flagged P2 per skill spec.

Ops Instrumentation subtotal: 4.25 / 5 = 85%

Dim 3: pass = 1.0 ← upgraded from indeterminate (0.5) in v3 — Supabase MCP authenticated this run
Dim 5: pass = 1.0 (unchanged from v3)
Dim 6: warn = 0.75 — ops_errors above threshold, portfolio-level P0/P1 items pending (ITW-clean); moderation passes
Dim 7: indeterminate = 0.5 (unchanged from v3)
Dim 9: pass = 1.0 (unchanged from v3)

Punch List (ordered by severity)

P1

P1-1 (Dim 2): Viewports never run — last_run: null e2e/responsive.spec.ts covers desktop/tablet/mobile. Has never been run against production. No viewport regression would be caught between deploys. No founder_verified stamp on this spec.

Fix: BASE_URL=https://illustratetheword.com npx playwright test responsive.spec.ts --project=desktop,tablet,mobile. Stamp last_run in registry.yaml.
Existing FA: none (new P1 surfaced v4)

P1-2 (Dim 8): synthetic_funnel_test: null — no automated funnel assertion No spec asserts the /pricing?checkout=monthly trigger, Premium card pulse, or Stripe session redirect. A silent routing regression on the checkout CTA would go undetected.

Fix: Extend e2e/checkout.spec.ts with a synthetic probe: load /pricing?checkout=monthly, verify Premium card pulses, verify Subscribe CTA routes to valid Stripe session URL. Update itw.yaml synthetic_funnel_test field.
Existing FA: FA-074

P2

P2-1 (Dim 6): 41 AI-generated illustrations flagged for moderation (FA-029) + 1 editorial review (FA-030) Open P2 editorial items (unchanged from v3). Not product-blocking. Needs founder review to approve/edit/remove.

P2-2 (Dim 9): voice-agent-testing-backlog workstream stale (>48h since last activity) Started 2026-04-15. Last activity not updated. Per skill spec, workstreams > 24h without activity are flagged P2. CWA-scoped only — no ITW production resource overlap.

Fix: Founder confirms status or releases the workstream entry in ACTIVE_WORK.md.

Resolved since v3 (2 dims upgraded)

Was (v3)	Fix	Evidence
Dim 1: warn (0.75) — acceptance spec stale	`founder_verified: 2026-04-22` on itw-smoke, itw-signup, itw-content-gating, itw-premium-checkout	knowledge#30 registry stamps
Dim 4: indeterminate (0.5) — checkout spec not run	`founder_verified: 2026-04-22` on itw-premium-checkout	knowledge#30 registry stamps
Dim 3: indeterminate (0.5) — Supabase MCP not authed	MCP authenticated; `validate_product_knowledge()` ran live; 0 real issues	Live SQL this run

Self-healed this run

None. Read-only scorecard run per the no-writes constraint.

Live DB Evidence (sanity checks)

Check	Query	Result	Status
`validate_product_knowledge()` real issues	`WHERE severity IN ('CRITICAL','WARNING') AND issue NOT LIKE 'Bulk update detected%'`	0 rows	✅ PASS
founder_action_items P0/P1 pending	`WHERE priority IN ('P0','P1') AND status != 'completed'`	9 pending (1 P0, 8 P1) — all CWA/PewSearch	⚠ WARN
Moderation high-severity last 7d	`WHERE severity_score >= 0.8 AND created_at > now()-7d`	8	✅ PASS (≤10)
ops_errors P0/P1 unresolved last 7d	`WHERE severity IN ('P0','P1') AND resolved_at IS NULL AND created_at > now()-7d`	10	⚠ WARN (>5 threshold)
unified_rag_content illustration rows	`source_type IN ('contemporary','ai_generated','historical','human_authored')`	326,469 total (contemporary 251,949 / ai_generated 46,102 / historical 26,501 / human_authored 1,917)	✅ PASS — content library healthy

Note on status schema: founder_action_items.status uses pending/completed, NOT open/closed. v3 ran WHERE status = 'open' which returned 0 (wrong filter). v4 uses status != 'completed' — correct. The "0 open P0/P1" in v3 was a false clean. The real count is 9 pending, but none are ITW-attributed.

Note on illustration source_types: unified_rag_content uses contemporary, ai_generated, historical, human_authored — NOT illustration, sermon_illustration, or historical_illustration. The pre-computed query in the v4 brief would have returned 0. Actual library: ~326K records confirmed healthy.

Indeterminate dimensions (what we couldn't check)

Dim 2 (Viewports): e2e/responsive.spec.ts present. Playwright sandbox not invoked — last_run: null. Graded indeterminate (0.5). No known viewport regressions reported.
Dim 7 (Analytics): ReadinessTab.tsx exists. /api/founder/readiness/itw is auth-gated (returns 401 as expected). Cannot verify ITW KPI widget rendering without founder admin token. Unchanged from v3.

Delta vs v3 (`itw-20260422-v3.md`)

Metric	v3	v4	Delta
Product Health %	62.5%	81.25%	+18.75pp

Dim 6 (Drift)	pass (1.0)	warn (0.75)	-0.25 — correct status filter reveals 9 pending P0/P1 + ops_errors >5

What would push to 100/100

Dim 2 → 1.0 (Product Health): Run npx playwright test responsive.spec.ts against https://illustratetheword.com. Stamp last_run for the viewport spec in registry.yaml.
Dim 8 → 1.0 (Product Health): Write + run synthetic funnel test on /pricing?checkout=monthly CTA path. Update itw.yaml synthetic_funnel_test field.
Dim 6 → 1.0 (Ops): Resolve the 10 open CWA ops_errors (outreach provisioning + voice health check + WiseAI domain). Close / mark stale P0/P1 founder_action_items that are resolved. This dimension is a portfolio signal — ITW itself is clean.
Dim 7 → 1.0 (Ops): Verify ITW KPI widget renders in FounderDashboard (requires founder auth token or a dedicated test account).
