Does it replace Jira or Linear?
That depends on the team. A lighter first implementation can link to existing work rather than migrate every issue.
Does closing all tasks approve a launch?
No. Approval is a separate decision with an owner and evidence. That gate is a proposed extension.
Can the customized source remain private?
The selected core is AGPL. Modified deployments and distribution need a documented license-compliance plan; do not assume all customization can be kept proprietary.
What does a scoped implementation include?
Discovery identifies the workflow, data boundary, selected edition, integrations and acceptance criteria. Implementation and optional ongoing operations are quoted against that scope. There is no standard package or committed list price at this concept stage.
Can it run in our environment?
A dedicated customer environment is the first design target. Customer cloud, managed hosting and on-premises options are evaluated separately against the chosen foundation, identity requirements and operating owner. A tested deployment and recovery procedure are required before a commitment.
What evidence is needed before launch?
The agreed scope should name authorization and integration tests, data migration checks, backup and restore, upgrades, vulnerability handling and operating responsibility. Certifications, regulatory approvals, service levels and performance outcomes are not implied by a proposed offering.
