• Conversion metrics (signups, demos requested, trials started)

• Revenue metrics (MRR, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value)

• Market metrics (market share, segment penetration)

Step 5: Create Launch Plan

Build a phased launch timeline:

• Pre-launch preparation (messaging, channels, timeline)
