Workstream
The repo already supports a credible suite story: one platform, visible tools, and a built-in trust layer. The missing step is to translate that architecture into a beta sell-sheet that clearly separates what is saleable now, what is included infrastructure, and what is directional proof of the broader business unit.
Why this matters
Without a crisp commercial map, a multi-SKU story reads like ambition rather than a business. Buyers need to know what they are actually buying now.
This workstream also connects the suite ambition to honest beta claims, without collapsing the offer back into 'just a survey tool'.
Current state
The strategy stance is already suite-first, not point-solution first. The current launch posture points to a visible product suite, while the website, ideas log, and naming work add trust-layer products and Research Architect to complete the workflow story.
The refreshed beta map now separates the live core from products in test, controlled beta, in build, and directional preview. There is no blanket full-suite promise.
Research Guard is targeting a September beta, Insight Navigator is in development QA, Segment Lens has a beta underway ahead of an October release, Research Architect remains later work, and Discussion Groups V2 is in test. Access must follow those labels and the buyer's agreed workflow.
Checklist
Foundation
The minimum decisions and assets needed so the launch story is coherent rather than aspirational.
The beta product map now reflects current roadmap maturity; founder approval is required before it becomes the sales rule.
Private preview
The hardening work required for founder sharing, pilot conversations, and limited buyer-facing use.
Runtime entitlement checks exist conceptually, but plan definition, usage limits, and metering are still underbuilt.
Early selling beta
The repeatable selling and operating layer needed to move beyond one-off founder conversations.
The website and decision log already give us a defensible platform-first story if we stay explicit about maturity and launch scope.
What exists
The product portfolio, strategy context, and founder rationale already support a Research OS or suite posture rather than a single point solution. The launch posture even names the visible product set.
The website architecture, decision register, and ideas log already show how products, trust capabilities, and platform language can be expressed without collapsing back into a single-tool story.
The repo includes shared services, entitlements, and readiness notes that matter for a separate BU with multiple products and controlled commercial access.
