Every launch has a Readiness field (separate from the lifecycle Status). This answers "How ready am I to promote this launch?" rather than "Is the launch live?".
5 readiness states
🔴 Not Started (0%) — nothing done yet
🟡 In Progress (25%) — some prep underway
🟠 Almost Ready (65%) — most of it done
🟢 Scheduled (90%) — mail slots locked, bonuses live, just final-check pending
✅ 100% Ready (100%) — everything confirmed, go time
Where to set readiness
On the Launch Edit page, the Readiness dropdown is in Row 1 next to the Status dropdown. Select a state, click Save. The dropdown itself is color-coded to match the state.
Calendar visual indicators
On the calendar, each launch bar shows:
Emoji prefix matching the state (🔴 🟡 🟠 🟢 ✅)
4px bottom stripe in the readiness color
100% Ready launches override the launch-type color with a solid green gradient + double outline — they pop visually
Not Started gets a red warning halo
Week view progress bar
In the week view of the calendar, each launch card shows a mini progress bar filled to the readiness %. Easy to scan which launches need work.
Smart Insights weighting
Low-readiness launches near their launch date fire as Smart Insight cards. Reciprocity-weighted: if you owe the partner ≥$1K and readiness is <25% within 14 days, it's flagged as CRITICAL urgency.
💡 Readiness ritual: When you first accept a JV / add an affiliate launch → set Not Started. When you schedule mailings → move to In Progress. When bonus/swipes done → Almost Ready. When confirmed + mail booked → Scheduled. Morning-of → 100% Ready.
