Launch Assurance
Sites are drafted, scaffolded and shipped faster than ever — and that speed is worth keeping. What hasn’t changed is the launch moment itself: a client’s name goes on the work, in public, all at once.
Launch assurance is the step that belongs between “done” and “live”: an independent inspection of the site as it is about to ship, ending in proof you can hand to the client.
01 · The definition
Launch assurance is an independent pre-launch inspection: a bounded, recorded review of a site as it is about to ship, run by a party that didn’t build it. It is a lifecycle, not a single scan — inspect, fix, re-inspect — and every pass leaves proof artifacts behind.
The proof artifacts
02 · The lifecycle
03 · The operational home
The lifecycle doesn’t live in an email thread. It runs in the Command Center — the authenticated workspace where inspections are started, findings are triaged and reports are filed. Organize sites and completed audits in an authenticated project workspace.
Close-up of the board's flight-board region — the latest inspections, listed like departures.
04 · Where the audits fit
Both audits are launch assurance — the same lifecycle, the same proof artifacts. What the price buys is depth.
The static assurance baseline
$299 · one-time
Snapshot inspects up to 10 reachable public pages, static HTML only. The report records actual coverage.
Reads the HTML each page serves. JavaScript is not executed and no browser is opened.
The fastest way to put an independent record behind a launch — and the depth Studio Crew credits run at.
The full assurance contract
$799 · one-time
Launch Audit reviews up to 35 reachable public pages and inspects up to 12 of them in a real rendered browser. The report records actual coverage.
Certificate — by eligibility only. Not included with purchase. Issued only after a standalone $799 Launch Audit completes the approved rendered coverage, earns a Ready verdict — a Launch Readiness Score of 85 or above with no launch blockers and no high-priority findings open — and an AgencyProof operator has reviewed, approved and released the report.
Studio Crew runs at Snapshot Audit depth: up to 10 reachable public pages, static HTML. It is not a deeper tier than Launch Audit, and it is not Launch Audit on a subscription.
From the Insights desk
Launch ManualThe best time to find a defect is before the client's attention shifts from the design to the mistake. A one-hour inspection for the first “finished” link.
Launch ManualA launch checklist short enough to execute and specific enough to verify — split into evidence, judgment, and the client-facing launch decision.
Agency Field NotesRecurring QA earns its place by catching drift, not by repeating the launch ceremony on a site nobody changed.
05 · The boundaries
Assurance that pretends to cover everything is assurance no one should trust. These are the things an AgencyProof audit does not do — stated here, in the middle of the category page, not in a footer.
Every report also records the pages it actually reviewed and the checks it actually ran.
