For founders · checklist

Before you launch an AI feature

Not a technical checklist. A founder's one. If you cannot answer all twelve out loud, the launch is early.

What is on it

  • You can say, in one sentence, what it must never do
  • That sentence is enforced in code, not in the prompt
  • There is a cap on what a single user can spend in an hour
  • There is a cap on what everyone can spend in a day
  • Somebody's name is on it when it goes wrong at 2am
  • You have seen it fail and know what the customer sees
  • Every AI call is logged, with enough detail to explain one
  • One user cannot read another user's anything
  • You know which data leaves your company and to whom
  • You have a way to turn it off without a deploy
  • Support knows it exists and knows what to say about it
  • You have written down how you will tell it is working
