The LaunchGraded Standard

8 dimensions. 31 checks. One score.

Every check is a published rule with a fixed weight. Rescan and you get the same answer — so improvements are real, not noise.

    UX & Mobile

    Does it work with a thumb on a phone?

Read the full methodology
Prioritised, not exhaustive

Know what to fix first.

Blockers first, then high impact, then quick wins. Every finding tells you why it matters, how to fix it, and roughly how long it takes.

Why it matters
A first-time visitor has no reason to believe you yet. Without logos, testimonials, review counts or usage numbers, they have only your word that this works.
Fix
Add one testimonial with a name and role near the primary call to action, or a row of customer logos, or a concrete usage number.
Technical
no [class*="testimonial"], [class*="review"], [class*="trusted-by"] block detected

How it works

From URL to certified in six steps.

Usually under 2 minutes to your first score
  1. 01

    Scan

    Enter your URL. We read only public pages.

  2. 02

    Score

    31 rule-based checks, one number out of 100.

  3. 03

    Prioritise

    Blockers, high impact, quick wins — in order.

  4. 04

    Fix

    Plain-language fixes with the technical detail underneath.

  5. 05

    Rescan

    Prove the change. Before and after, on the same standard.

  6. 06

    Certify

    Clear 90 with no blockers and get a public certificate.

AI where it helps. Rules where accuracy matters.

Consistent scoring, not AI vibes.

Your score isn't generated by a chatbot. The same checks with the same weights run every time, so two scans of the same page agree — and a change in your score means something changed on your site.

AI appears in exactly two labelled places: an optional overview paragraph on the paid report, and the Launch Executor's launch story. Neither touches the score.

Honesty

What LaunchGraded doesn't do.

  • Guarantee traffic, signups or revenue
  • Predict Product Hunt or ranking success
  • Judge your copy's tone or your business model
  • Read anything behind a login
Launch readiness isn't product-market fit. A 95/100 website can still launch a product nobody wants. LaunchGraded audits your public launch experience — not whether your business will succeed.
FAQ

Questions founders ask.

All questions
Is the free scan really free?
Yes. The free scan gives you your full score out of 100, the verdict, all eight dimension scores and roughly 30 % of the individual findings — worst first, with the top blocker fully explained. No account, no card. The $49 Full Report unlocks every finding with a fix-first plan.
Why is my live, profitable site scoring low?
LaunchGraded scores your public launch surface against the LaunchGraded Standard — not your traffic, revenue or product. A site can be doing well commercially and still have a noindex tag, no visible pricing path or no social proof. The score tells you what a first-time visitor and a search engine see, which is exactly what you'd want to fix before sending more traffic.
Does AI decide my score?
No. Every one of the 31 checks is a published rule with a fixed weight, run the same way every time, so two scans of the same page agree. AI appears in two labelled places only — an optional overview paragraph on the paid report and the Launch Executor's launch story — and neither touches the score.
What happens after I fix things?
Rescan. Every scan is stored against your site, so you see exactly what moved and what didn't. Once you clear 90 with no blockers you can opt in to a public certificate and an embeddable badge.
What does LaunchGraded read on my site?
Only public pages, the same way a first-time visitor or Googlebot would: the page you submit, its HTML and metadata, a Lighthouse run, robots.txt and a random-path 404 probe. We never log in, submit forms, or read anything behind authentication. Our crawler identifies itself as LaunchGradedBot and respects robots.txt.
Can I get a refund on the report?
If something goes wrong with your order — a failed generation, a report that doesn't match what you paid for — contact us and we'll make it right, including a refund where appropriate. The free scan is there so you can see what you're buying before you buy it.

Score your site. It takes about two minutes.
