Startup playbook
Are we ready to scale Production?
Defines the public shape of the "Are we ready to scale Production?" stage. The website should explain the decision, the intent and the related guidance without publishing the full assessment method.

Public purpose
Curation guidance
Open with the idea that Production is not a single end state. Usage, customer dependency and support expectations change the acceptable resilience model.
Use the control introductions to explain resilience triggers, unit economics, support load and incident management maturity.
Summary intent
The company should understand when to invest in stronger resilience, whether the economics still work, whether support can cope, and whether incident management has been rehearsed at the current level of customer dependency.

Related decisions to work through
Use containers as the default packaging stance. They give the product a flexible route from POC to Pilot to Production without forcing the final hosting decision too early.
Pilot data should not accidentally become Production data. The transition needs an explicit decision.
Stage gates are decision points. They help a company decide whether it is ready to move to the next level of customer exposure, operational risk and commercial promise. They are not ceremonies and they are not a replacement for judgement.
