Define the scope.
Identify the software version, workflow, and requirements being considered.
Before you ship.
See what’s missing.
You built it with AI. The demo works. Founders Release is being built to help you connect the version you plan to ship with the evidence behind it—and see which questions remain open.

Open film
An 18-second silent Blender animation. Metal and smoked-glass layers separate to reveal an amber-lit missing section. The gap stays open. The story reads: You built it with AI. It works in the demo. Ready for real customers? Before you launch. Know what to check. The decision stays yours. This is a visual metaphor, not a depiction of the product's architecture.

A 30-second release challenge
Would you
ship it?
Three everyday scenarios. One question: what do you actually know?
Fictional examples. Not a software assessment. Your choices stay in this browser.
The tests passed.
But they ran on last week’s build. Ask whether the evidence covers the version you want to release.
Checkout worked.
But nobody tried a failed payment. Explore what happens to the order, charge status, and customer message when payment fails.
The backup exists.
But nobody has tried restoring it. A separate test restore helps show whether the data can actually be recovered.
SCENARIO 01 / 03

What would you ask for next?

Better questions.
Clearer next steps.
You do not need to know every technical term to ask useful questions about your app.
- Do the results cover this version?
- What happens when a step fails?
- Has recovery actually been tried?
These examples have not checked your software. Founders Release is in development, and I’m learning from founders facing these questions.
Talk about your appFrom assumptions
to evidence.
An application can run without answering every question about how it behaves. Our development work focuses on making those questions and the supporting evidence easier to review.
Prepare the evidence.
Organize supplied records and checks so missing information and coverage gaps can be seen.
Keep decisions accountable.
Develop a review approach that makes uncertainty visible and keeps release authority with the responsible person.
These describe the project’s direction. Preparing evidence does not by itself establish that software is safe, verified, or authorized for release.
Pricing to be announced.
We’ll share scope, availability, and pricing when the offering is ready.
