How Does The Solid Guide Define Done for a ServiceUpdated 6 days ago

A service is done when two things are true. The work meets every deliverable described on the service page. And we have both confirmed that together on the delivery call.

Neither condition alone is enough. Work that meets the technical standard but has not been reviewed by the founder is not done. A founder who is satisfied but with something that quietly misses a deliverable is also not done.

The delivery call is where both conditions get confirmed:

  • Every deliverable gets reviewed against the service page
  • You test and evaluate the work live
  • Any gaps get identified and closed before sign-off
  • The service only closes when we both agree it is right

This definition of done matters because of what every service is ultimately for. Each one is a step toward consistent and sustainable sales. A service that is technically submitted but not actually working does not move that goal forward — it just creates a false sense of progress.

I would rather take an extra day to get something right than hand it over on time with something that quietly does not work.
