OWNED AUDIENCE
A launch alert is the beginning of the relationship.
A 30-day sequence with content slots, not invented instructions.
The existing launch-alert list can become a useful post-launch audience when the provider, consent, unsubscribe, support, and factual activation gates are complete.
SEQUENCE STATUS
Content architecture ready. Delivery provider still requires an owner decision.
Every message must be filled from current facts, approved before sending, and measured with a clear denominator.
SEQUENCE MAP
Fifteen lessons for the first month.
These are content slots. They stay unpublished until the required product instructions exist.

AUDIENCE RULES
Useful, consented, and easy to stop.
Audience capture should build trust instead of turning a launch spike into an inbox liability.
Explicit consent
Record source, timestamp, consent version, and unsubscribe state. Do not infer sensitive segments.
Provider abstraction
Keep D1 capture separate from delivery so Resend, Kit, or a manual send can be chosen later.
Factual slots
Every message names the facts it depends on and the source checked before send.
Measure the right thing
Track signup start, completion, delivery, unsubscribe, and useful downstream actions without storing message content in analytics.
