    Launch Readiness

    Cross-functional checklist confirming a product is ready for commercial release.

    Reviewed by Christian Espinosa, Founder, Blue Goat CyberLast reviewed May 5, 2026

    Definition

    Launch readiness is the structured cross-functional gate that confirms a device is ready for commercial release - regulatory clearance, QMS state, supply capacity, sales training, KOL engagement, reimbursement strategy, and post-market surveillance plan.

    What this means in practice

    Missing any one element can stall launch. CMO, CCO, and Quality VP typically co-own the gate.
