Validate Lifecycle Ops

Stage 8 of the validation pipeline — lifecycle operations and the re-validation loop. Use to define funnel metrics, cohort retention, expand/sunset criteria, and the tripwires that trigger re-running earlier gates. Triggers when the orchestrator routes to LIFECYCLE. Use for live-product audits (case B) and after any GO to close the loop from launch to ongoing operation.

Lifecycle Ops (Stage 8)

Closes the loop from one-off validation to ongoing operation. Read dossier-schema.md if needed. Write into lifecycle. Do not render.

Procedure

  1. Funnel metrics — the operating metrics to watch (from the AARRR funnel if stage 7 ran).
  2. Cohort retention — how retention is tracked; retention is the truth serum for product-market fit.
  3. Expand / sunset criteria — explicit numeric thresholds for scaling up vs winding down. Decide these now, while unattached, so the later call isn't driven by sunk cost.
  4. Re-validation loop — set lifecycle.revalidation: the trigger (time- or event-based) and stages_to_recheck. Seed it from decision.journal.reversal_conditions — those tripwires are exactly what should re-open earlier gates.

Writes

lifecycle.* and a stages[] record (stage_id: 8).
