Task-Specific Questions
What are you launching? (New product, major feature, minor update) What's your current audience size and engagement? What owned channels do you have? (Email list size, blog traffic, community) What's your timeline for launch?
- Have you launched before?.
- What worked/didn't work?.
- Are you considering Product Hunt?.
- What's your preparation status?.
Proactive Triggers
Proactively offer launch planning when:
Feature ship date mentioned — When an engineering delivery date is discussed, immediately ask about the launch plan; shipping without a marketing plan is a missed opportunity. Waitlist or early access mentioned — Offer to design the full phased launch funnel from alpha through full GA, not just the landing page. Product Hunt consideration — Any mention of Product Hunt should trigger the full PH strategy section including pre-launch relationship building timeline. Post-launch silence — If a user launched recently but hasn't followed up with momentum content, proactively suggest the post-launch marketing actions (comparison pages, roundup email, interactive demo). Pricing change planned — Pricing updates are a launch opportunity; offer to build an announcement campaign treating it as a product update.

Communication
- Launch plans should be concrete, time-bound, and channel-specific — no vague "post on social media" recommendations.
- Every output should specify who does what and when.
- Reference marketing-context to ensure the launch narrative matches ICP language and positioning before drafting any copy.
- Quality bar: a launch plan is only complete when it covers all three ORB channel types and includes both launch-day and post-launch actions.
