| Playbook | What it does | Steps | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research and fact finding | Answer a question with sources, ages and an honest 'I could not find it'. | 6 | 1 |
| Selling things | Turn what your owner wants to sell into priced, ready listings without risking a bad sale. | 6 | 1 |
| Hiring (employer side) and job search (job-seeker side) | For an employer: a clear role, a fair posting and structured interviews. For a job seeker: matched openings and a resume that stays honest. | 7 | 1 |
| Bookkeeping | Get a small business's records in order and know what to do next, without moving money. | 5 | 1 |
| Outreach to new customers | Find the right companies, write honest notes, send only what your owner approved and honor every stop request. | 6 | 1 |
| Customer support | Answer customers quickly and correctly, with a person in the loop for anything that costs money or carries risk. | 6 | 1 |
How they get better
Each launch records which step is finished, skipped or stuck. A step that fewer than half of at least ten launches finish is queued for a rewrite. Notes sent through Make this better for the Launchpad are read daily. Every shipped change is listed here.
