Salesforce AppExchange Code Analyzer reports before review attempt
Run Code Analyzer with the AppExchange and Recommended:Security rules before submitting, so the first paid review attempt is checking your package rather than discovering preventable noise.
Why this can grow a startup
Security Review is part of distribution on AppExchange, not a side quest after product work is done. Salesforce requires partners to upload Code Analyzer scan reports with the submission and says the right move is to run the scans, fix what you can, rerun them, and then submit. That does two things. It lowers the odds that the first review attempt is spent on obvious issues, and it forces the package team to turn security review into a repeatable preflight instead of a launch-week surprise.
Source-backed example
Salesforce's Code Analyzer guide says AppExchange partners must scan code with Code Analyzer, using the AppExchange and Recommended:Security rule selectors, upload the reports with the submission, and rerun after fixing what they can.

When to use it
Use this when Marketplaces, Trust, Engineering is relevant to security review, submission prep, code scanning 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.
How to do it
- Choose one target segment and define the exact next action this tactic should prompt.
- Adapt the tactic to Marketplaces and Trust, using evidence from Salesforce Code Analyzer: Produce Code Analyzer Reports for AppExchange Security Review as context—not as a promised result.
- Record a baseline for: Target users who complete the tactic’s intended next action. Set a guardrail that would make you pause the test.
- Run a narrow pilot and choose a test window that fits the normal decision or use cycle; do not scale before you have observed the full cycle.
- Compare the signal with its baseline. Scale only if the intended action improves without crossing the guardrail; otherwise revise one variable or stop and record what you learned.
