Designing an early access program involves creating a waitlist→concept→alpha→beta→GA stage ladder with per-stage purpose, opt-in semantics, and quantified graduation criteria labeled as Estimated until validated.

Setting graduation criteria requires quantified metrics for each stage transition, marked as Estimated until validated through actual cohort performance during the early access program progression.

Planning cohort gating and invite throttling involves controlling user entry volume into the waitlist to manage infrastructure load and feedback quality across the early access program stages.

Defining referral mechanics includes establishing referral-loop systems with invite codes, anti-abuse guards, and referral economics to drive controlled user growth throughout the early access program.

Setting up a feedback loop requires specifying a tester status notification spec and outlining tester recruitment strategies alongside launch-day social proof preparation for the early access program.

Early access program design coordinates with launch-registry for stage record formalization and handles stage ladder, graduation criteria, and referral mechanics spec submissions to maintain program alignment.
