Launch: canary, support, and the kill switch

Lesson 5 of 10 · AI Mastery: Ship an End-to-End Product

In this lesson. A real launch, not a tweet.

What you will learn

  • Canary
  • Support
  • Kill switch

Walkthrough

You will plan canary users, a support path, and a kill switch. End-to-end includes the first week of production. This is launch.

Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of AI Mastery: Ship an End-to-End Product is usable skill, not a pile of notes.

If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.

Practice

Write the launch checklist with owners.

Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.

Check your understanding
