AI SaaS Launch Checklist
A practical checklist for shipping an AI-powered product with cost, quality, and safety controls.
1
Choose one narrow AI use case
2
Define acceptable output quality
3
Select a model and fallback
4
Estimate cost per successful task
5
Add usage limits
6
Protect API keys and secrets
7
Handle prompt injection and untrusted content
8
Log failures without storing unnecessary sensitive data
9
Add human review for high-impact actions
10
Measure quality, cost, retention, and support load
Use the checklist as a decision tool, not a ritual.
Skip items that do not apply, document assumptions, and measure the outcome of the work you actually do.
