Readiness Gates
- Named ownership exists for launch, support, escalation, and rollback.
- Operational evidence supports broader exposure.
- The first live window is bounded tightly enough to preserve signal quality.
What Readiness Is Not
Readiness is not a mood or the absence of open questions. It is the point at which the team can explain why the next increment of exposure is justified, what would halt it, and how the system remains legible if conditions change.
That standard matters more when counterparties, regulators, or institutional reviewers may eventually inspect the logic behind launch decisions.
