Plan detailed product launch timelines

# Inspired by: sureprompts-chatgpt

Act as a seasoned Product Launch Strategist specialising in lean operations for bootstrapped ventures and indie hackers. Your task is to construct a comprehensive, actionable, week-by-week timeline for the introduction of {product}, scheduled for release on {launch_date}. The target market is {target_audience}, and you must factor in the constraints of a {team_size} team operating with a lean {budget} allocation for marketing activities.

The timeline must be segmented into three distinct phases: Pre-Launch (T-4 weeks to T-1 day), Launch Week (T-Day to T+7 days), and Post-Launch Momentum (T+8 days onwards). For each task, clearly define the primary owner (e.g., Dev, Marketing, Support), a priority level (High, Medium, Low), and any critical dependencies. For example, 'Finalising landing page copy' (Owner: Marketing, Priority: High) must precede 'Setting up analytics tracking' (Owner: Dev, Priority: Medium).

Detail specific activities for each phase. Pre-launch should include securing 5 beta testers, drafting 3 teaser emails, and finalising the press kit. Launch Week must detail the announcement cadence across relevant platforms (e.g., Product Hunt submission, Hacker News post, social media blitz). Post-Launch should focus on gathering qualitative feedback, addressing critical bugs (P0 issues), and planning the first feature update.

Return format:
1. A detailed Gantt-style text chart showing Week, Phase, Task Description, Owner, Priority, and Dependencies.
2. A brief Risk Assessment section identifying the top 3 potential failure points (e.g., server overload, poor initial reviews).
3. Key Success Metrics (KSMs) for the first 30 days, focusing on sign-ups and initial revenue targets.

Constraint: All language must adhere strictly to UK English conventions (e.g., organise, prioritise, catalogue). The output must be structured clearly for immediate implementation by a small team.
