# LaunchGrade

> Grade your launch before the internet does. A free, zero-dependency CLI that audits any public page across 54 checks in 7 categories, then gives you the fixes that matter first.

LaunchGrade is built by [FastPress Labs](https://github.com/fastpresspages), a small open-source community for people who ship. The CLI, GitHub Action, MCP server, reports and agent skill are Apache-2.0. There is no account, no tracking and no paid tier.

## Principles

Free means free. No fake metrics. Reports are files. Zero runtime dependencies. One useful tool beats ten empty landing pages.
