Fictional composite example — not a real customer, not a guarantee.
Sample Launch Readiness Review: TaskPilot AI
Scope: small AI task management SaaS built with Next.js + Supabase + Stripe.
Disclaimer: engineering readiness review, not a certified security audit or legal/compliance assessment.
Executive verdict
Do not open self-serve paid signup yet.
Reason: the product is usable for demos, but billing/webhook state and workspace data boundaries need fixes before strangers enter real data.
Top 5 risks
1. Workspace data boundary is not proven — high priority
Observed pattern: API routes accept workspace_id from client requests. Risk: one user may access another workspace if server-side membership checks are incomplete. Fix: enforce server-side membership check on every workspace-scoped read/write.
2. Stripe webhook idempotency missing — high priority
Observed pattern: webhook handler updates subscription state directly. Risk: duplicate/replayed events can create wrong entitlement state. Fix: store processed Stripe event IDs and handle event ordering.
3. Secrets/config documentation incomplete — medium priority
Risk: deploy cannot be reproduced or safely handed over. Fix: document required env vars, where they are used, and rotation procedure.
4. AI output action lacks guardrails — medium priority
Risk: AI-generated tasks can trigger bulk actions without clear review step. Fix: add review screen and confirmation before external sends/actions.
5. Error visibility is founder-only manual checking — medium priority
Risk: failed jobs silently degrade the product. Fix: add error logging/Telegram/email alert for webhook/job failures.
