Internal release guide for limitations, FAQs, and feedback
Prepare one internal release guide that explains the feature, names its limitations, collects feedback, and feeds the next FAQ update.
Why this can grow a startup
A launch gets messy when every answer lives in someone's head. One working guide gives support, product, and marketing the same source of truth about what shipped, what is still missing, and which questions are already surfacing. It cuts response lag, surfaces weak spots faster, and turns support conversations into structured input for the next iteration.
Company example
Buffer used an Internal Release Guide for each launch to document how the feature worked, note planned future iterations, capture inbox feedback, and sharpen the Help Center articles as new questions appeared.

When to use it
Use this when Support, Documentation, Feedback is relevant to launch, support ops, feedback loops and you can run a bounded test with a free 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.
