SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams routinely mismatch go-to-market effort to launch impact: minor changes get full GTM motions that burn credibility, while company-moving launches ship with a one-line release note. This Skill provides a rubric and checklist that right-sizes every launch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tier Rubric: Classifies any launch as Tier 1, 2, or 3 using four impact dimensions — blast radius, revenue/segment impact, net-new vs. incremental, and competitive stakes — with the highest-hitting dimension pulling the tier up. - Five-Phase Checklist: Defines alignment, positioning, enablement, launch, and post-launch phases, with a coverage matrix showing which phases run in full, run light, or collapse per tier. - Use Case: A team ships SAML SSO for the enterprise segment. The rubric flags revenue and competitive stakes as Tier-1 dimensions, so the launch runs the full motion — exec alignment, positioning, field enablement, coordinated announcement, and an instrumented post-launch read — instead of being under-launched as a niche feature. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to tier the upcoming launch using the launch-gtm-tiering rubric and produce the phase checklist for that tier.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide how much go-to-market effort a product launch needs?▼

Score the launch on four dimensions — blast radius, revenue/segment impact, net-new vs. incremental, and competitive stakes. Any dimension landing in the Tier-1 column makes it Tier 1; Tier 2 is the default for real features; Tier 3 covers negligible-impact changes.

What are the phases of a product launch checklist?▼

The five phases are alignment, positioning, enablement, launch, and post-launch. The tier decides coverage: Tier 1 runs every phase in full, Tier 2 runs lighter alignment and enablement, and Tier 3 collapses everything into a release note plus in-product callout.

How do I resolve disagreement over a launch tier?▼

Name the rubric dimension in dispute and ground it in data — which segment, how much revenue, whose competitive claim. Splitting the difference between tiers is an anti-pattern; the contested dimension is the conversation to have.

When should a launch skip enablement or post-launch review?▼

Tier-3 launches skip enablement entirely and only watch for regressions post-launch. Tier-1 launches must never skip post-launch — a company-moving launch without a baseline and adoption read cannot distinguish success from noise.

Does engineering effort determine the launch tier?▼

No. Tiering by effort built rather than impact delivered is an explicit anti-pattern. A six-month project can be a Tier-3 launch and a one-week feature can be Tier 1; size strictly by the four impact dimensions.
