Launch Checklist for AI-Built Apps in 2026
Ville YlläsjärviFounder of RAAVA launch checklist is only useful when every check points to evidence. This is the short list I use to separate “the agent said done” from work I would actually release.
Do not reduce launch readiness to a score
A single “82% ready” number hides the questions a founder should ask. Did login work in a clean browser? Did a payment fail safely? Which production change was never tested?
RAAV does not grade the application. It keeps the work and its evidence visible so the founder can make the release decision.
Before you announce
Test auth, payments, and email from a clean account. A successful demo in an old session does not count.
Close or explicitly accept every critical ticket. Run recorded verification on material fixes.
Clear the founder decision queue for scope, pricing, and known limitations.
Agent-specific risks
Watch for fixes that were marked done without verification, duplicate work across sessions, and security regressions when a new agent touches auth.
Use lanes and claims so only one agent owns a surface at a time.
Ship workflow
Turn each blocker into a named task with a verification command. Give that task to the agent, run the check again, and keep the result with the work.
The audit trail is not a certificate. It is a receipt: what changed, who changed it, and which check passed.
