+# Launch Tiering Framework Skill
+
+## When to Use
+- Evaluating upcoming releases to determine Tier 1/2/3 scope.
+- Aligning stakeholders on budget, channels, and required deliverables.
+- Documenting launch expectations for planning, approvals, and reporting.
+
+## Framework
+1. **Impact Criteria** – ARR target, product scope, audience reach, competitive urgency.
+2. **Resource Requirements** – channels activated, creative/engineering effort, regional needs.
+3. **Governance Level** – exec involvement, war-room cadence, risk tolerance.
+4. **Instrumentation** – telemetry readiness, reporting complexity, experimentation.
+5. **Compliance & Dependencies** – legal/security review, partner commitments, support readiness.
+
+## Templates
+- Tier scoring matrix (criteria, weights, thresholds, recommended resourcing).
+- Tier playbook (required workstreams, artifacts, checkpoints, reporting).
+- Approval checklist for tier changes or escalations.
+
+## Tips
+- Reassess tier mid-cycle if scope or market conditions shift.
+- Maintain a historical log of tier decisions for future benchmarking.
+- Tie tier definitions to budgeting + staffing models to ensure consistency.
