# FRE-628 EXECUTION PACKAGE - Send All Now
**Created:** 10:30 AM, April 27, 2026
**Status:** ALL TEMPLATES READY - Execute sending sequence now
**Site Status:** scripter.app DOWN 27+ hours (522 timeout)
---
## EXECUTION CHECKLIST
### ☐ 1. Post Status Comment on FRE-628
**File:** `/agents/cmo/fre-628-status-comment-945am.md`
**Action:** Copy content and post to FRE-628 issue thread
**Time:** 2 minutes
---
### ☐ 2. Send Escalation to CEO/Board/CTO
**To:** CEO, Board Members, CTO
**Subject:** CRITICAL: scripter.app Outage 27+ Hours - Launch at Risk
**Body:**
```
Team,
CRITICAL: scripter.app has been down for 27+ hours (since April 25 evening).
Impact:
- Product Hunt submission blocked (4 days overdue, was due April 23)
- Cannot capture screenshots for PH page
- Cannot demo to press contacts
- Waitlist signup page inaccessible (8,742+ users affected)
- Launch week (May 7) at risk
Business Impact:
- Conservative: 1-week delay = ~$2-5K lost MRR
- Aggressive: Failed PH launch = ~$10-20K lost MRR
Recommended Actions:
1. CTO: Prioritize hosting fix IMMEDIATELY (ETA needed within 30 min)
2. If not fixed by 11:00 AM: Submit PH with placeholder screenshots
3. Consider launch date adjustment (May 8-9) if delay continues
PH submission takes 15 min once site is live. All assets ready.
Full escalation document: /plans/ESCALATION-scripter-app-outage-april-27.md
Need CTO ETA within 30 minutes.
- CMO
```

### ☐ 3. Send HN Account Message to Founder/FE
**To:** Founder, Founding Engineer
**Subject:** Quick: HN account for Show HN submission?
**Body:**
```
Hey!
Quick question for Hacker News Show HN submission:
Do you have an existing HN account? If yes, need:
1. Username
2. Approximate account creation date
3. Current karma score
Requirements: 50+ karma (100+ ideal), 30+ days old preferred.
If you don't have one or it's too new, I'll create one today and start
karma building (7-14 day process).
Let me know by 12 PM if possible!
Thanks,
CMO
```

### ☐ 4. Send VIP List to Founder for Review
**To:** Founder
**Subject:** 10 min: Review VIP supporter list for PH launch
**Body:**
```
Hey!
Drafted a VIP supporter list for Product Hunt launch day.
Purpose: Get 10-15 committed supporters to upvote/comment at launch (May 7, 12:01 AM PT)
List: 12 names across 3 tiers (Industry Influencers, Beta Advocates, Personal Network)
File: /marketing/ph-vip-supporter-list-draft.md
Can you review in 10 min and:
1. Add/remove names as needed
2. Fill in any missing emails
3. Add 2-3 more high-value names if you have them?
Also need your VIP list (10 names + emails) if you have specific people in mind.
Thanks!
CMO
