Day 7 — Your decision is documented

Goal

You walk your release gates and decide based on what you really verified.

Understand briefly

The last day is not a closing ritual, it is an inspection. What may ship shows a complete core loop on real devices, has no critical crash and no data loss, has understandable offline and error states, carries truthful descriptions, leaves no unprotected paid paths open and has a reachable kill switch. If something is missing, the right decision is not “anyway” — it is a named v1.1.

Follow along

Paste this prompt into the AI tool you work with:

Here is my current state: [NOTES ON CORE LOOP, STATES, LEGAL, COSTS, TESTS]

1. Walk my release gates one by one and tell me for each: verified, unclear or open.
2. For every “verified”, ask me what I base that on.
3. Turn it into a decision in two sentences plus a v1.1 list.

Be strict: an unclear point is not a passed point.

Build it yourself

Write your decision down — with a date, with evidence per gate and with a list of what is deliberately postponed.

Verify

Only tick a box once you have really checked it. These criteria are the only way to finish this unit.

I walked every release gate one by one.
No critical crash and no data loss is open.
My decision is written down, with evidence instead of gut feeling.
What I deliberately postponed is fixed as a v1.1 list.

Self-check

Three questions about decisions you made today. There are no points and no grade — only the why. Every answer can be changed.

1. One release gate is unmet, the rest hold. What follows?

Submit — one open point can be delivered laterDo not submit, and name the pointSubmit and disable the affected feature

2. In what form do you record the day-7 decision?

As a clear judgement — I know where things standIn writing, with the evidence for each gateBased on feedback from people around me

3. What happens to what you deliberately deferred?

Nothing — whatever mattered will occur to me againIt is fixed as a V1.1 listI will make the list once V1 is out

Next step

That was the last build day. What is open now is not a gap — it is your v1.1.

That was the last unit of this path.

Privacy setting

With your consent, PostHog EU measures which pages are opened and additionally records your session: mouse movement, clicks, scrolling and the rendered page content are stored as a replayable reconstruction. Typed input is masked before sending. The contents of sign-in, sign-up, password recovery, the founder chat, the newsletter field, your email display, your quiz answers and the checklists are not recorded at all; on the sign-in and sign-up pages recording is paused. Addresses are always stored without query parameters. A random device identifier and technical connection data such as the IP address are processed as well. In addition, strictly defined usage events are measured: how far a post was read, which article element was used, which call to action was clicked, how a newsletter sign-up ended, how far you get in a course or in the feed (recording only whether a task was correct or incorrect, never your answer itself), which video you start, whether you switch the language, and how a sign-in or sign-up attempt ended — without the email address, without the password, and without the error message. Only values from a fixed list and whole numbers from fixed ranges are transmitted — no input and no free text. We also label production, internal, and automated test visits separately and derive whether a visit came from a known interface such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity from a known referring domain or a strictly allowed campaign value. The full referring address and query parameters are not sent, and this cannot identify a specific AI model. If PostHog's IP-based geo enrichment is enabled in the project, the service can derive an approximate country, continent, and region; we do not request browser or GPS location. Every visit is also assigned to a page area from a fixed list (for example home, blog, tools, account) — the area is sent, not the address. Page loading and stability metrics are measured as well (Core Web Vitals: LCP, CLS, INP, FCP), without network payloads. A click on a link leading away from the site is recorded only as the target domain from a fixed list, without path, query parameters, or link text. For the Idea Wheel, AI Labelling and Limit Reset tools only the kind of action is measured — spin, option changed, copy or export, for instance — never your input and never a result.
