# DriveDesk 80 Percent Commercial Readiness Milestone

This document records the public-safe completion model for the DriveDesk
commercial readiness milestone.

It does not claim that DriveDesk is a finished commercial SaaS product. It
claims that the project has moved beyond a DevOps/platform foundation into a
productized Business OS foundation: workbench previews, provider onboarding,
approval gates, API/SDK contracts, operations evidence, and a clean
public/private boundary.

## Evidence Snapshot

Machine-readable evidence:

```text
docs/public/evidence/commercial-readiness-80.sanitized.json
```

Source contract:

```text
infra/platform-maturity/commercial-readiness-80.sanitized.json
```

Executable check:

```bash
bash scripts/check_public_commercial_readiness_80.sh
```

## Completion Model

The milestone is split into eight evidence groups. Each group is worth ten
points. All eight groups are present and validated, which gives an 80-point
commercial readiness foundation.

| Group | Points | What It Proves |
| --- | ---: | --- |
| Platform maturity foundation | 10 | The 70 percent DevOps/platform milestone remains the base. |
| Product workbench previews | 10 | External facts can become role-specific context, actions, tasks, notifications, and replayable business scenarios. |
| Provider sandbox path | 10 | A provider can move from catalog profile to fixtures, sandbox dry-run, evidence, and private rollout without public secrets. |
| Action approval safety | 10 | Provider-changing work is routed through dry-run, preflight, approval, rollback notes, and audit evidence. |
| API and SDK contract | 10 | OpenAPI, generated SDKs, demo API, and drift checks are treated as a product contract. |
| Operations and release evidence | 10 | Observability, alerting, notification delivery, recovery, rollback, GitOps, and IaC evidence are connected. |
| Public/private boundary | 10 | Public proof, private source, provider secrets, runtime state, and production data are separated by gates. |
| Commercial gap control | 10 | The project tracks what remains before real 100 percent commercial readiness. |

## Human Meaning

For an interview or product discussion, explain it like this:

```text
The project is not sold as finished SaaS yet. The public milestone proves that
the platform has enough product, integration, operations, API, and security
structure to start private real-provider onboarding safely.
```

In plain terms:

- 70 percent meant the DevOps/platform base is strong.
- 80 percent means the commercial path is visible and checked.
- 100 percent will require live commercial operation: real tenants, billing,
  approved provider credentials, production deployment, support, SLOs, and
  operational history.

## Verified Outcomes

This milestone records that DriveDesk can show:

- a Business Context Assistant for safe cross-system context;
- action execution and approval gateway previews;
- provider connector guide, certification, onboarding, fixture replay, and
  sandbox dry-run evidence;
- OpenAPI and generated SDK drift control;
- observability, alert routing, notification delivery, release safety, GitOps,
  and OpenTofu proof;
- a public Review Console and one-command review bundle;
- public-safe export gates and evidence index;
- explicit remaining work before production commercial SaaS.

## What Is Not Claimed

Not claimed yet:

- finished paid SaaS;
- live commercial tenant onboarding;
- billing and paid plans;
- real provider credentials in public;
- live production cluster operation as a public artifact;
- mobile applications;
- customer support process;
- long production incident history.

## Next Step Toward 100

The next milestone should be a private real-provider sandbox run. For example:

```text
approved provider credentials
  -> private read-only dry-run
  -> sanitized evidence
  -> approval-gated mutation plan
  -> monitored rollout
```

The public repository must keep showing only synthetic data and sanitized
evidence.
