## Prompt

```text
Help me run a go/no-go readiness review for a launch.

**What is launching and when:** [DETAILS]
**Readiness evidence I have:** [PASTE test results, open defects by severity, training completion, support readiness, data checks, sign-offs]
**Who decides:** [NAMES or roles with decision rights]
**Cost of delaying:** [what a slip would cost or affect]
**Cost of a bad launch:** [customer, financial, regulatory, or reputational impact]

Assess readiness across these areas (skip any that do not apply, add any that are missing):
- Product or solution quality (open defects, test coverage, performance)
- Operational readiness (support, runbooks, monitoring, on-call)
- People readiness (training, communications, change impact)
- Data and integrations
- Legal, security, and compliance sign-offs
- Business readiness (processes, approvals, go-to-market)
- Rollback ability

For each area, rate it green / amber / red based only on the evidence I gave. Where evidence is missing, say "no evidence" rather than assuming it is fine.

Return:
1. A readiness scorecard: area | rating | evidence | gap | owner to close.
2. My recommendation: go, conditional go (with conditions and deadlines), or no-go - and the reasoning.
3. Any must-fix items that should block launch regardless of pressure.
4. A 30-minute go/no-go meeting script, including how to record dissent.
5. The decision record template to send afterward.
