Launch Trigger Sheet
Time doesn’t matter. Events do.
Philosophy
Traditional launch plans use calendar dates: “Send letter on March 15th.”
We use event triggers: “Send letter when 100 people sign up.”
Why? Because a letter sent to Warren Buffett when we have 3 members is wasted. A letter sent when we have 1,000 members carries weight. The calendar is arbitrary; the milestone is meaningful.

Preemptive Activation
Any trigger can be activated early by:
- Founder override — Manual activation
- Opportunity response — Someone shares before we’re ready
- Media inquiry — Press asks about something we haven’t announced
Rule: If the cue card exists, it can be used. The trigger date is a plan, not a gate.
