SHIP
Technically ready is not the same as measurably ready to launch.
Moves a working prototype through technical release gates while also locking the measurement plan and real baseline metric; security, data, performance, observability and deployment can be green without granting GO to an unmeasurable launch. Rescue of an already-live broken product belongs to RESCUE.
What remains when the system finishes?
The output is not a pile of slides; it is a usable work package that directly feeds the next decision or implementation step.
Production-readiness audit and risk classification
Measurement plan + real baseline metric + success threshold
Performance, error tracking and observability verification
CI/CD, deployment, release checklist and combined GO / HOLD decision
What is in, and what is not?
One repository and one primary production target
MEASUREMENT RULE / Even with green technical gates, launch stays HOLD without a measurement plan and real baseline metric
The baseline metric is never guessed; current value, period and source must be explicit
Major rewrites and product-scope changes are excluded
Third-party platform, store, hosting and API fees are excluded
Substantial rescue of an already-live product is scoped as RESCUE, not SHIP
ahmetcanal.com: merged does not mean released.
On this site's real changes we treated repository state, routes, CTAs, sitemap, build and production verification as separate release gates.
GATE / SOURCE → TYPECHECK/BUILD → ROUTE/CTA → DEPLOY → LIVE VERIFY → GO/HOLD.
When should you use this system?
The prototype works but you do not trust it with real users yet
You want to turn a technically releasable product into a measurable launch
You want to close deployment, security, data and measurement risks before first release
Close this bottleneck, then move only to the stage you actually need.
SHIP is the final product-system gate. Ongoing ownership continues through Managed Operations.
