Launch dependency roadmap

What must be wired before broad public launch.

The static website is wired. These are the external accounts, URLs, and proof artifacts that turn the launch pages into production infrastructure.

Domain and hosting

Keep thegateway.pro as the production domain, update canonical URLs if the domain changes, and serve the static site behind production TLS. Public host routing should keep visitors on the canonical site.

Publication hygiene

Keep public launch copy focused on operator value, product readiness, privacy limits, support boundaries, and evidence while the launch roadmap stays visible to operators.

Public story

Keep public launch copy focused on operator value, product readiness, privacy limits, support boundaries, and evidence.

Artifact hygiene

Published assets should avoid private notes, local paths, credentials, temporary hosts, and machine-specific assumptions.

Conversion endpoints

Replace mailto templates with real sponsor, support, appliance waitlist, MSP pilot, and evidence intake forms.

Proof artifacts

Add demo video, screenshots, install transcript, test summary, recovery drill, and first runbook execution report.

Launch gate order

Wire public systems before sending broad traffic.

1. Contact surface

Make the domain, email address, sponsor path, support intake, appliance waitlist, MSP pilot, and security reporting path real.

2. Repository surface

Publish license, security policy, contribution guide, support policy, issue templates, release checklist, and install gates.

3. Evidence surface

Attach demo screenshots, install transcript, route/DNS checks, fallback checks, recovery drill, and a redacted support bundle example.

4. Operations surface

Confirm support boundaries, analytics privacy, data retention, rollback ownership, and public maintenance funding path.

Dependency proof

External launch systems should point to concrete operator evidence.

Redacted Gateway dashboard showing route, DNS, tunnel, device, and backup status cards
Evidence surface Show product state.

Supports demo, screenshot, and public test summary dependencies.

Redacted Gateway routing policies screen
Repository surface Show policy model.

Supports install docs, route/DNS verification, and contribution examples.

Redacted Gateway backup and recovery screen
Operations surface Show recovery path.

Supports support, appliance, MSP, and rollback dependencies before broad traffic.

Next action

Replace temporary endpoints with production systems.

Start with domain, email, public repo, sponsor page, support intake, and evidence links. When those are live, move straight to launch status or the production checklist.
