How should we split responsibilities with our agency?
We define the operating model (who decides what, SLAs, escalation, guardrails) plus sanity check RACI and acceptance criteria, and assess risks for handoff and scope‑creep triggers.
What’s the proper production workflow for this launch?
We lay out the end‑to‑end production workflow based on our 4P (Prep, Plan, Produce, Push) model.
Are we aligned across teams?
Outlining cross‑team risks and dependencies with triggers, mitigations, named owners/ roles, and a weekly buddy check-in.
Product, brand, legal, tech: do we share the same understanding of where this is going?
Decision framing with options/impacts and recommended path, like cross‑team risks, mitigation owners, and checkpoint plan.
Are we buying the right scope at the right rate, with the right protections?
We compare vendor options, protections, and KPIs so contracts support delivery.
Is this concept ready to go into production?
We stress‑test briefs, dependencies, and approvals so nothing slips in handoff.
Is this scope executable within the time and budget available?
We surface dependencies, critical path, and risk owners to de‑risk delivery.
