## 🔄 Pending User Actions
The following items require **user decision and action**:
### Critical Pre-Launch Verifications
1. ⏸️ **Review Blog Post Rendering**
- Visit: http://localhost:9000/blog-post.html?slug=tractatus-research-working-paper-v01
- Verify: Card sections display correctly
- Check: All GitHub links work
- Test: Mobile and desktop rendering
2. ⏸️ **Review GitHub Repository**
- Visit: https://github.com/AgenticGovernance/tractatus-framework
- Verify: README displays correctly
- Check: All documentation links work
- Consider: Adding repository topics/tags for discoverability
3. ⏸️ **Review Website Documentation**
- Visit: https://agenticgovernance.digital/docs.html
- Verify: Research paper displays correctly
- Check: PDF download works
- Test: All internal links work
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.)

## 📋 Recommended Launch Sequence
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)
4. **Hacker News**: Submit Show HN post (best time: weekday 9-11am PT)
5. **ResearchGate**: Upload working paper PDF
6. **arXiv** (if pursuing): Submit preprint (check category fit)
### Phase D: Broader Reach (2-4 hours, next day)
7. **Reddit**: Post to r/MachineLearning (check rules, use prepared text)
8. **Medium/Dev.to**: Cross-post blog with canonical link
9. **AI Safety communities**: Share in relevant Discord/Slack channels
### Phase E: Monitor & Engage (Ongoing)
10. Respond to GitHub issues/discussions within 24 hours
11. Engage with social media comments/questions
12. Track blog post views and repository stars
13. Document any replication study inquiries
---
## 🎯 Success Metrics (Week 1)
Based on realistic expectations for early research:
### Good Outcomes
