Decision framework

Choose for fit, then plan the follow-through.

A launch platform is one distribution choice. Match it to your audience and the work you can sustain after launch day.

  1. Start with audience fit

    Prioritize places where the people who can use or evaluate your product already spend time.

  2. Check the listing model

    Understand submission timing, pricing, voting, editorial review, and whether the listing persists.

  3. Prepare the response plan

    Plan how you will answer questions, collect feedback, and keep the product page current.

Editorial methodology
