## CRITICAL — blocks ship (must close before Phase 1 ends)

# | Gap | Impact | Effort | Owner | Unlock
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Book editorial pass not started | Cannot upload to KDP without final manuscript | ~5 sittings (Days 1-5 of action plan) | Sandi | Week 1
2 | Cover designer not engaged | KDP requires cover wrap before approval | 1 brief + designer turnaround (~2 weeks) | Sandi → designer | Week 2-3
3 | Three Truths consistency audit incomplete | Brand spine drift means messaging fragments | 2 sittings reviewing manuscript chapter-by-chapter | Sandi | Week 1
4 | KDP description (4000 char) not written | Required for KDP listing | 1 sitting w/ kdp-ad-copy-writer skill | Sandi | Week 3
5 | Author photo dated | Reader trust signal · marketing asset | 1 photo session | Sandi | Week 3

## HIGH — blocks Phase 2 (platform launch)

# | Gap | Impact | Effort | Owner | Unlock
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
6 | MySQL schema not deployed to IONOS db809893484 | No platform without DB | 1 sitting (run `database/schema.sql`) | Shawn or Sandi | Week 5
7 | Stripe live keys not configured | Cannot accept real payments | 30 min setup + verification | Sandi (IRS/business info) | Week 5
8 | `bootstrap.php` / `auth.php` not stood up for kingdom-wife/ folder | No login system | 2 sittings · pulled from membership-site-builder template | Shawn | Week 5
9 | Course Module 1 (Inner Life) content not written | Tier 2 has nothing to deliver | 3 sittings · 5 lessons | Sandi | Week 7
10 | Email sequence Day 0/3/7/14/30 not drafted | Tier 1+ onboarding broken | 1 sitting w/ email-sequence-builder skill | Sandi | Week 7
11 | No cover ISBN decision (KDP-issued vs owned) | Cannot finalize KDP submission | 30 min decision | Sandi | Week 2
12 | No BISAC categories selected | KDP discoverability suffers | 30 min research | Sandi | Week 3

## MEDIUM — improves quality of launch

# | Gap | Impact | Effort | Owner | Unlock
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
13 | A+ Content modules not designed | KDP listing flat · less conversion | 1 sitting + design work | Sandi → designer | Week 4
14 | Beta readers not engaged (3 needed minimum) | No external editorial signal | Outreach + their reading time | Sandi | Week 2
15 | Cohort logistics doc (call link · format · agenda) not written | Cohort call arrives unprepared | 1 sitting | Sandi | Week 9
16 | Workbook prompt sets per chapter not all final | Some prompts function as filler vs reflection | 2 sittings | Sandi | Week 2
17 | Modules 2/3/4 (Relational/Authority/Leadership) not started | Tier 2 incomplete at launch · OK to ship Module 1 first | 6+ sittings | Sandi | Week 8-12
18 | Cohort accountability-partner matching algorithm undefined | Manual pairing OK for first cohort but not scalable | 1 sitting (algorithm = pair by tenure + life stage) | Shawn | Week 9

## LOW — defer

# | Gap | Why defer
--- | --- | ---
19 | Mobile native app | Web-responsive is sufficient until Y2
20 | Affiliate program | Need testimonials first, then affiliates
21 | Multi-language | English audience hasn’t saturated
22 | Advanced analytics dashboard | KPI snapshot email is enough until 100+ paid members
23 | Voice-narrated audio version | Audible/Podiobook routes available later · audio adds 20+ hours of recording time · don’t push into Y1
24 | Group-text accountability | Discord/in-platform forum first; SMS adds complexity

## Theological gaps (always escalated)

# | Gap | Impact | Owner | Resolution
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
T1 | Theological reviewer not identified | Theology must be defensible (book is for orthodox Christian women) | Sandi | Identify ONE reviewer before book ships · pastor or seminary-trained friend
T2 | Cohort moderation policy for theological disagreement undefined | Cohort calls will surface disagreement; need posture | Sandi | Draft “we don’t debate denomination” rule for cohort onboarding
T3 | Scripture translation policy for course content | Inconsistency erodes trust | Sandi | Lock per-context: KJV for memory verses · NIV for narrative · ESV for theological precision

## Process gaps (system-level)

# | Gap | Impact
--- | --- | ---
P1 | No automated voice-keeper-sandi gate on every content commit | Voice violations slip through silent reads
P2 | No backup of cohort journal entries (encrypted at rest) | Sensitive personal content; data loss = trust loss
P3 | No documented incident-response runbook for platform outage | Outage during cohort week = worst case · need runbook

## Closing the critical gaps — week-by-week target

Week | Critical gaps closed
--- | ---
1 | #1 (editorial pass), #3 (Three Truths audit), #4 first draft
2 | #11 (ISBN decision), #14 (beta readers engaged), #16 (workbook prompts)
3 | #2 (cover commissioned), #4 (KDP description final), #5 (author photo), #12 (BISAC)
4 | #13 (A+ Content), beta integration, KDP upload

If all 5 critical gaps + 6 HIGH gaps close by end of Week 4, Phase 1 ships on schedule. If 2+ slip, slide Phase 2 by the same number of days. Don’t push.
