Teams Store publisher verification and attestation before promo
Finish publisher verification and plan attestation timing before the launch push so trust work does not lag behind distribution work.
Why this can grow a startup
Teams store growth is often enterprise growth, which means the trust surface matters as much as the feature story. Microsoft's submission checklist says publisher verification is required for Teams Store apps, and publisher attestation is also required for listed apps so customers can review security, data handling, and compliance practices. That moves trust out of the sales deck and onto the shelf itself. If the trust badge work starts after the promo plan, the listing can win attention before it wins confidence.

- 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.
