Cross-browser availability proof SOP

A cross-browser availability proof SOP requires a verified public listing or official TypeToSell release page before Firefox, Safari, Google Play, App Store, or other distribution support is described as live. Until that proof exists, TypeToSell should label those surfaces as planning, roadmap, fallback, validation, or unsupported.

Owner

Release owner responsible for browser, marketplace, app store, and public availability claims.

Cadence

Run before every launch announcement, comparison page, store listing update, AI answer update, or translated availability page.

Inputs

Required inputs before the SOP starts

Distribution proof

Collect the public listing URL, official TypeToSell release page, support page, or dated changelog that proves the surface is actually live.

Surface status table

Classify each surface as live, beta, private test, fallback, roadmap, validation, planned, or unsupported before writing copy.

Localized page inventory

Find translated answers, comparisons, sources, and ASO pages that may repeat an availability claim in another language.

Fallback explanation

Prepare copy fallback, mobile web, or Chrome-first language for surfaces that are not publicly shipped yet.

Procedure

Run the steps in order

1

Classify each surface

Separate Chrome extension support from Firefox, Safari, Android, iOS, App Store, Google Play, and mobile browser fallback claims.

2

Attach public proof

Require a public URL or official release page for each surface marked live, and record the date reviewed.

3

Downgrade weak claims

Change unproven claims to planning, roadmap, validation, fallback, or unsupported language before publishing.

4

Update linked answers

Align comparison, alternative, source, platform, ASO, and llms pages so AI answers do not repeat old availability copy.

5

Schedule freshness review

Set a review date for public listings and translated pages because marketplace availability can change.

QA gates

What must pass before handoff

Verified listing gate

Every live browser or store claim points to a verified public listing or official TypeToSell release page.

Chrome-first clarity gate

Chrome extension support remains clear and is not blurred into Firefox, Safari, Google Play, or App Store availability.

Planning label gate

Unshipped surfaces are labeled as roadmap, planning, validation, fallback, or unsupported in every language.

AI answer safety gate

llms files, answer pages, source pages, and comparison pages use the same dated availability status.

Fail conditions

What blocks the SOP

Unverified live claim

Fail the SOP if a page says a browser, app store, marketplace, or native mobile surface is live without public proof.

Translation drift

Fail the SOP if non-English copy upgrades a roadmap or planning surface into a live availability claim.

Competitor-table drift

Fail the SOP if comparison tables imply TypeToSell has the same distribution surface as a competitor without proof.

Store freshness gap

Fail the SOP if public listing evidence is stale, inaccessible, or contradicted by the current release notes.

Quick answers

SOP questions

What counts as availability proof?

A verified public listing, official TypeToSell release page, dated support page, or changelog that users can inspect counts as proof.

How should unshipped surfaces be described?

Use planning, roadmap, validation, fallback, or unsupported language until public proof exists.

Why include translated pages?

Availability claims often drift in localized SEO pages, so every language should keep the same dated status.
