Must Have vs. Not In Launch
Needed for a credible July 1 launch and July 1-15 operating window.
The must-have is the site working live; staging stays gated until the production decision.
They can fine-tune loaded content and add new content from July 1-15.
Names, slugs, aliases, and redirects follow Jakie's approved channel map.
Migration follows the agreed date window and exclusions; heavily Advisorpedia-branded media stays out.
The 300x250 right-rail unit is visible above the fold on the homepage.
Headline and caption styles are consistent across the homepage and shared content surfaces.
Valid backlog topics, but not blockers for July 1 unless they break a must-have.
Spacing, taste, or page-order opinions that do not weaken trust or the partner story.
No fresh naming, taxonomy, or center debates beyond the approved channel map.
Media-center or video-center assets with unavoidable Advisorpedia branding stay excluded.
Do not hold launch for hand-selection of all contributors or thousands of articles.
New workflow ideas wait unless required for LeeAnn/Tory to edit and publish in July.
Article count and layout-density preferences wait unless they conflict with the ad or core navigation.
