# Go-Live Readiness

> Readiness checklist covering questionnaire sign-off, rubric review, invite testing, and stakeholder approvals before the first live Exterview session.

## Purpose

Go-live means your workflows are ready to deploy, live agent sessions or document workflows. Clear this checklist first.

## Readiness checklist

| # | Confirm                         | Ready when                                                              |
| - | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Foundation reviewed             | Departments, roles, bands, skills, and responsibilities are signed off. |
| 2 | Operations reviewed             | Channels, pipelines, rubrics, and gating are set for your roles.        |
| 3 | Governance reviewed             | Compliance, privacy, retention, and review settings are confirmed.      |
| 4 | Users and roles assigned        | The right people have the right access.                                 |
| 5 | Candidate communication checked | Email tested and consent-aligned. Other channels are coming soon.       |
| 6 | Required integrations connected | Connectors that trigger or support workflows are live.                  |
| 7 | Human review process confirmed  | Reviewers and approval steps are in place.                              |
| 8 | Reporting path confirmed        | You know where reports and takeaways land.                              |

  When every item is confirmed, your configuration baseline is frozen and you're
  ready to deploy.

## What happens next

Once you're go-live ready, you move to **Deploy**, launching live sessions (phone, voice, avatar, panel, HR, assessment, and post-hire) or document workflows (role creation, resume match, offers).

<Info>
  **Scoring is confirmed by running it.** Your scoring is calibrated during
  Foundation, but it's only confirmed once it's run. Treat your first phase, up
  to about 100 practice interviews, as a practice period: keep human review
  especially close and hold off on high-stakes reliance until scoring is
  confirmed at that volume. This is a hard gate on the [Production
  Checklist](/deploy/production-checklist). See
  [Calibration](/monitor/calibration).

<Info>
  **For larger enterprise contracts, going live is a staged process,** not a
  single step everyone follows the same way: your contract is signed, then your
  team runs a practice period of roughly 100 test interviews across about 5
  roles, then the Exterview team gives final sign-off, then you move to fully
  live use, and finally your team receives training. Ask your Customer Success
  contact where you stand in this process.
