What this prompt does

Defines what finished actually means for a campaign, page, or offer that is close to done, and forces the ship date.

Marketing work rarely dies at zero percent. It dies at ninety, circling one more pass, one more polish, one more review. This prompt tests whether the remaining work is a real gap, an inflated internal standard, or a way of avoiding the moment the asset goes public.

Three named tests, scope, standard, and exposure, isolate the actual cause instead of accepting "it's not quite ready" at face value. Once named, the fix is deliberately narrow: no polish, no reframing the delay as quality control, just the one final action and a calendar date.

Built for the launch, landing page, or pitch that has been almost ready for longer than it should be. You walk away with a specific definition of finished and a ship date, not another round of edits.
