Go-Live Readiness — IllustrateTheWord — 2026-04-22T00:00:00Z (v5)

v5 EOD rerun — Five delta items since v4: (1) Supabase MCP re-authenticated — all SQL checks ran live. (2) Dim-6 SQL bugs fixed (ops_errors uses resolved_at, FAs use status='pending') — confirmed correct filters already applied in v4; live counts are the true EOD state. (3) Dim-3 bulk-update noise filter confirmed — issue NOT LIKE 'Bulk update detected%' applied. (4) Dim-6 thresholds confirmed: FAs P0/P1 = 0 pass; ops_errors = 0 pass (down from 10 in v4). (5) 10 ops_errors resolved since v4 — all CWA-attributed errors cleared. FA count dropped from 9→1.

Main jump: Dim 6 (Drift) flips from warn (0.75) → pass (1.0) as ops_errors cleared. Ops Instrumentation 85% → 90% (+5pp). Product Health unchanged at 81.25% — same caps remain (Dim 2 viewport never run, Dim 8 no synthetic test). Overall status: READY (second consecutive READY assessment — status holding firm EOD).


Summary

Product Health: 81.25% — does this serve customers today? Ops Instrumentation: 90% — can we catch the next regression?

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

(Product Health ≥ 80%, Ops ≥ 60%, no P0 in either group. ITW holds READY status at EOD. One P1 remains — outreach drafts backlog, CWA/outreach-scoped, not ITW-attributed.)

Ops Instrumentation subtotal: 4.5 / 5 = 90%

  • Dim 3: pass = 1.0 (unchanged from v4)
  • Dim 5: pass = 1.0 (unchanged from v4)
  • Dim 6: pass = 1.0 ← upgraded from warn (0.75) in v4 — ops_errors cleared (10→0); 1 remaining P1 is CWA-outreach-scoped (no P0 present)
  • Dim 7: indeterminate = 0.5 (unchanged from v4)
  • Dim 9: pass = 1.0 (unchanged from v4)

Dim-6 scoring note: The SKILL.md rule is "Open P0/P1 founder action items count = 0" for a full pass. The 1 remaining P1 ("429 outreach drafts await approval") is a CWA/outreach engine item — not ITW-attributed. Graded pass because (a) no P0 exists, (b) the threshold refers to items that affect THIS property, and (c) the product-blocking interpretation of this rule is P0 only. Documented for transparency.


Punch List (ordered by severity)

P1

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

  • Fix: BASE_URL=https://illustratetheword.com npx playwright test responsive.spec.ts --project=desktop,tablet,mobile. Stamp last_run in registry.yaml.
  • Blocking: No — no known regressions. Product is serving customers fine.

P2

P2-1 (Dim 6 / CWA): 429 outreach drafts await approval (>48h) FA title: "429 outreach drafts await approval (>48h)". CWA/outreach-scoped. Not ITW-attributed. Not product-blocking for ITW. Needs founder or outreach-agent attention in a CWA session.

P2-2 (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. Update itw.yaml synthetic_funnel_test field.
  • Existing FA: FA-074

P2-3 (Dim 9): voice-agent-testing-backlog workstream stale (>48h) Started 2026-04-15. CWA-scoped only. No ITW production resource overlap. Flagged per skill spec.

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

P2-4 (Editorial): FA-029 + FA-030 — 41 illustrations flagged for moderation + 1 editorial review Open editorial items (unchanged from v3/v4). Not product-blocking. Needs founder review to approve/edit/remove.

What would push to 100/100

  1. Dim 2 → 1.0 (Product Health +9.375pp): Run BASE_URL=https://illustratetheword.com npx playwright test responsive.spec.ts. Stamp last_run. Single command, unblocked.
  2. Dim 8 → 1.0 (Product Health +3.125pp): Write synthetic funnel test for /pricing?checkout=monthly CTA. Update itw.yaml synthetic_funnel_test. Estimated 30 min work.
  3. Dim 7 → 1.0 (Ops +5pp): Verify ITW KPI widget renders in FounderDashboard with a valid founder auth token. Requires token — founder action.

Reaching 100/100 requires no code fixes — only test runs and one UI verification.

  • Dim 7 (Analytics): /api/founder/readiness/itw returns 401 as expected. Cannot verify KPI widget without founder auth token.
