What's Blocked (known dependencies):

🔴 scripter.app deployment (CTO-owned, down 24h)
- Blocks: PH submission, screenshots, press kit page
- Impact: HIGH - PH submission 4 days overdue
- Mitigation: CMO has escalation plan if not fixed by 9:30 AM PT
🟡 Founder decisions pending
- PH thumbnail selection
- VIP hunter list (10 names)
- Impact: MEDIUM - can proceed with defaults

What's EXECUTING (unblocked):

✅ HN account verification plan created
✅ Social media templates ready
✅ Press contacts research (65+ journalists)
✅ Beta recruitment executing (Week 1 outreach)
✅ Daily notes actively updated
