🔄 Pending User Actions

The following items require user decision and action:

Critical Pre-Launch Verifications

  1. ⏸️ Review Blog Post Rendering

  2. ⏸️ Review GitHub Repository

  3. ⏸️ Review Website Documentation

  4. ⏸️ Review Launch Announcements

    • Read: docs/LAUNCH_ANNOUNCEMENT.md
    • Approve or edit: Social media content
    • Customize: Email template with specific recipients
    • Adjust: Messaging if needed

Distribution Decisions

The user must decide which platforms to use for launch:

Recommended Tier 1 (High Impact, Low Risk):

  • GitHub Repository (already public - consider adding topics)
  • Twitter/X (7-tweet thread ready)
  • LinkedIn (professional post ready)
  • Blog Post (already published - share link)

Recommended Tier 2 (Academic/Research Channels):

  • Hacker News (Show HN post ready)
  • ResearchGate (upload working paper PDF)
  • arXiv (if appropriate for working papers - check policies)
  • Email to Research Partners (template ready - customize recipients)

Optional Tier 3 (Broader Reach, Higher Moderation Risk):

  • Reddit (r/MachineLearning, r/AIResearch - check subreddit rules first)
  • Medium (cross-post with canonical link)
  • Dev.to (cross-post with canonical link)
  • AI Safety Discord/Slack channels

Timing Decisions

  • When to launch? (Immediate vs. scheduled)
  • Phased rollout? (GitHub → Academic → Broader, or all-at-once)
  • Timezone considerations? (US daytime for Hacker News, etc.)

Based on best practices, here's a suggested sequence:

Phase A: Pre-Launch (15 min)

  1. Final verification sweep (GitHub, website, blog)
  2. Review and approve announcement content
  3. Prepare monitoring tools (GitHub notifications, social media alerts)

Phase B: Initial Launch (30 min)

  1. GitHub: Add topics/tags for discoverability
    • Suggested topics: ai-governance, research, claude-code, governance-patterns, ai-safety
  2. Blog Post: Share on Twitter/LinkedIn with prepared content
  3. Email: Send to 2-3 close research partners for early feedback

Phase C: Academic Dissemination (1-2 hours)

  1. Hacker News: Submit Show HN post (best time: weekday 9-11am PT)
  2. ResearchGate: Upload working paper PDF
  3. arXiv (if pursuing): Submit preprint (check category fit)

Phase D: Broader Reach (2-4 hours, next day)

  1. Reddit: Post to r/MachineLearning (check rules, use prepared text)
  2. Medium/Dev.to: Cross-post blog with canonical link
  3. AI Safety communities: Share in relevant Discord/Slack channels

Phase E: Monitor & Engage (Ongoing)

  1. Respond to GitHub issues/discussions within 24 hours
  2. Engage with social media comments/questions
  3. Track blog post views and repository stars
  4. Document any replication study inquiries

🎯 Success Metrics (Week 1)

Based on realistic expectations for early research:

Good Outcomes

  • 5-10 GitHub stars
  • 1-2 quality discussions on GitHub
  • 100-500 blog post views
  • 1-2 inquiries about replication studies
  • No major errors requiring corrections

Great Outcomes

  • 20-50 GitHub stars
  • 3-5 GitHub discussions
  • 500-1000 blog post views
  • 3-5 replication study inquiries
  • Constructive criticism from researchers

Red Flags to Address

  • Third-party overclaiming ("production-ready")
  • Misquoting effectiveness claims
  • Use in contexts explicitly warned against
  • Need for major corrections to paper

📞 Contact Points Ready

All contact mechanisms configured:


🚀 Next Steps for User

  1. Review all assets (GitHub, blog, announcements)
  2. Approve launch strategy (which platforms, timing)
  3. Customize email template (add specific recipients if using)
  4. Decide on launch sequence (phased vs. all-at-once)
  5. Execute launch when ready

Phase 6 Status: PREPARATION COMPLETE

All materials are ready for launch. Awaiting user approval and execution decisions.

Recommendation: Start with GitHub topics + Twitter/LinkedIn + email to close partners, then expand based on initial response.

Critical Reminder: Maintain honest messaging about limitations in all communications. Refer to "Key Talking Points" section in LAUNCH_ANNOUNCEMENT.md for guidance.
