DRAFT v1 — PENDING OWNER SIGN-OFF. This gate is being enforced internally: no paid service is purchasable until the service's deliverable passes every item below.
Quality standard

No module ships until it passes the gate.

The biggest threat to ShipForge is not competitors — it is selling something that looks impressive but breaks when customers use it. Every paid service must pass this Product Quality Gate before being sold. A service is NOT ready because code exists. It is ready only when every item below is verified.

  1. 01 Clean installation works
  2. 02 Documentation matches current code
  3. 03 Demo actually works
  4. 04 iOS build succeeds
  5. 05 Android build succeeds
  6. 06 Environment variables are documented
  7. 07 Secrets are protected
  8. 08 Failure states work
  9. 09 Dependencies are current and reasonable
  10. 10 Key business logic has tests
  11. 11 No fake/demo production data leaks into customer projects
  12. 12 No broken links
  13. 13 No console-breaking errors
  14. 14 Setup has been tested from a clean project
  15. 15 Migration instructions exist when required
  16. 16 Version number exists + changelog exists

If one of these is not verified, the feature is labeled Beta — never presented as production-ready.
