A deployment can succeed.
And the launch can still fail.
Write one redacted release contract before execution: who should change behavior, how you will observe value, what must not regress, where evidence comes from, how rollout stops and who makes the decision. Missing evidence stays visible; this tool never declares production ready.
Value–risk–observation release contract
| Gate | Criterion | Baseline → target | Window / source | Owner / status |
|---|
A complete form is not proof that telemetry works, the rollout is safe or value will occur. Verify metric definitions, sample, flag/deployment state and rollback in the systems that execute the release.
Release boundary: raw CSV stays in this browser; the paid pack receives redacted gates and the human-written hypothesis/decision. Do not enter personal data, credentials, vulnerabilities, confidential code or customer records. The tool does not connect to flags, deploy, monitor, run an experiment, calculate significance, detect regressions, roll back, approve a release or replace product, engineering, security, privacy, support or legal review.

Execution-platform substitutes and the pre-platform contract wedge
