Beta launch package

Handoff index for the beta launch materials, known limitations, and next-step asks.

Use this surface for black-box review and stakeholder prep. It keeps public launch positioning, final review evidence, demo artifacts, the operator runbook reference, beta-limited scope, and post-demo priorities in one reachable route.

Package contents

Release-ready artifacts

These are the launch package materials that reviewers and demo prep should be able to find from the live beta handoff surface.

Current state summary

Beta readiness summary

Completed beta shell, admin boundary, data coverage, demo scenario, final review notes, known limits, and package index.

Ready for handoff.

Final release review

Production readiness review

Generated public artifacts, source data checks, accessibility smoke, screenshots, and residual release risks.

Ready as release evidence.

Final beta rehearsal

Beta rehearsal notes

Final route order, route checks, screenshot evidence, and handoff risks.

Ready as dress-rehearsal evidence.

Demo script/video notes

Demo script and recording plan

Recording-ready 5-8 minute script, storyboard, source examples, public guardrails, fallback moments, and verification notes.

Ready for recording prep.

Demo pitch narrative

Presenter narrative

Public-first pitch narrative, three asks, curated scenario paths, objections, and presenter notes.

Ready for presenter prep.

Operator runbook

Operator runbook reference

Controlled startup, access, import, recovery, and release handoff steps. This page lists the artifact but does not publish protected operating details.

Ready for controlled operator use.

Ready to show

Presentation-ready scope

The package is ready to show as an unofficial beta preview of a source-cited product, not as an official or complete statewide portal.

  • Public shell and navigation for Home, Explore, Cities, Resource profiles, Founder Router, Opportunity Radar, Methodology, source submission, correction, and owner-claim paths.
  • Source-cited graph evidence for controlled North Texas AI health, Arlington WealthTech, and City EDC data-quality stories.
  • Founder Router and Opportunity Radar flows with routed next actions, matched factors, missing proof points, source confidence, caveats, and a short action plan.
  • Governed public improvement paths for methodology, source submission, correction, owner claim, stale-record, and source-owner verification workflows.
  • Demo close and launch materials that support three concrete next-step asks without requiring protected operator screens in the public recording.

Known limitations

Public-facing limitations

Keep these known limitations visible before external claims. They are concise public boundaries, not protected operating details.

  • This is an unofficial beta preview, not an official Texas Innovation OS property or partner-endorsed portal.
  • The dataset is source-cited but not a complete Texas inventory; gaps show where more reviewed public evidence is needed.
  • Recommendations are routing signals from public records, not endorsements, rankings, advice, funding outcomes, or guaranteed introductions.
  • Source owner pages can change; dates, fees, eligibility, application status, contact paths, and regulated-sector details should be verified before acting.
  • Source submissions, corrections, and owner claims are reviewed before publication or steward access changes.

Beta boundaries

Release handoff limits

These beta-limited items remain handoff work after this package, so the launch surface does not overstate deployment or rights posture.

  • Hosted beta URL validation, live browser rehearsal, and protected operator checks remain release-operations handoff items.
  • The package proves the local and generated-artifact beta state; it should not be treated as a general availability launch.
  • Official naming, marks, partner language, source feeds, or branding changes require source-owner authorization first.

Next-step asks

Three concrete asks

The asks stay source-rights-aware and aligned with the demo narrative: validation first, focused pilot second, authorized feeds and branding only after rights are settled.

Ask 1

Data validation partnership

Ask source owners and ecosystem reviewers to validate priority public source records, stale indicators, correction paths, and owner contact paths. Treat uncertain crawl policy or source-rights posture as manual-only until written permission or source-owner guidance is recorded.

Ask 2

Pilot with North Texas/Arlington node

Use the North Texas AI health and Arlington WealthTech demo routes to validate founder routing, city coverage, suggested public source additions, and data-quality operations with a bounded reviewer group.

Ask 3

Authorization for source feeds and branding

After proof-of-work review, ask the relevant source owners for authorization before using source feeds, approved naming, public marks, or branding.

Post-demo priorities

After-demo priorities

After the beta demo, prioritize verification and rights work before broadening the claim surface.

  1. Priority 1: Run the final live browser rehearsal against the actual beta URL, with protected operator validation handled out of band.
  2. Priority 2: Complete the first data validation sprint for priority records used in the North Texas AI health, Arlington WealthTech, and City EDC demo paths.
  3. Priority 3: Review crawl policy, manual-only decisions, owner contact paths, and authorization needs for likely source feed candidates.
  4. Priority 4: Convert reviewer findings into scoped follow-up work for data refresh, source-rights handling, hosted auth, and deployment operations.
