Launch Readiness Sprint

From nearly ready to launched.

From £2,800 · 2–3 weeks · Fixed scope

Who it's for

  • Products that have been 'two weeks from launch' for two months
  • Teams whose scope keeps growing as the launch approaches
  • Founders who can't tell whether they're 80% done or 40%
  • Agencies trying to close out a client project that's gone soft

Who it's not for

  • Products that genuinely aren't ready and need another build phase — that's Product Clarity Sprint followed by build
  • Launches with a fixed external date in the next 7 days — too late to scope properly; let's talk anyway

What you get

  • Honest audit. What's actually done, what's not, what's broken, what's been quietly cut.
  • Cut list. What's getting dropped from launch and what's moving to a fast-follow. Hard decisions made and owned.
  • Launch checklist. Pre-launch, launch-day, and post-launch tasks with owners and deadlines.
  • QA pass. Acceptance testing across the cut-down scope. Bugs triaged by severity.
  • Release plan. How it ships, who pushes the button, what happens if something breaks.
  • Post-launch feedback loop. How you'll know in the first 72 hours whether it's working.

Typical outcomes

  • A launch date that holds
  • 30–50% of the feature list dropped from launch and moved to fast-follow
  • A team that knows what they're shipping and what they're not
  • Visible momentum within the first week

How it works

  1. 1

    Days 1–3 — Audit

    Walk through the product, the backlog, the open bugs, and the team. Find what's actually blocking.

  2. 2

    Days 4–7 — Cut and plan

    Scope reduced. Launch checklist built. Release plan written.

  3. 3

    Days 8–14 — Execute

    QA, bug triage, last-mile coordination. I run the standups if you want me to.

  4. 4

    Day 15+ — Launch

    Day-of support. Post-launch debrief at day 7.
