Atlassian Marketplace review window as launch buffer
Treat Atlassian's 5-10 business day review start as a launch buffer for screenshots, docs, and support polish instead of announcing the release before the queue has even opened.
Why this can grow a startup
Marketplace launches slip when the team treats submission as publication. Atlassian is explicit that review usually starts within 5-10 business days and that submission errors create back-and-forth. That lag is not dead time. It is a buffer for boring work that buyers will notice later anyway: stale docs, weak screenshots, and support details that still read like placeholders. Teams that plan around the queue can keep the external launch promise narrower and use the wait to tighten the listing that prospects will actually see.
Company example
Atlassian's app-listing guide says it usually takes 5-10 business days for the team to start a review, warns that submission errors can delay launch, and says each app is reviewed by a Marketplace support team member before it is publicly listed.

When to use it
Use this when Marketplaces, Launches, Operations is relevant to launch prep, review workflow, B2B SaaS and you can run a bounded test with a low budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
