Launch docs and external readiness

Problem

External users have no documentation explaining how to use, customize, or contribute to Dataface dashboard templates. The quickstart examples exist internally but are not published in a form that a new user can discover, understand, and execute independently. Without external-facing docs and runnable examples, public launch will drive users to the product with no way to get started, turning initial interest into frustration.

Context

• Even if repeatable production, review, and publishing of quickstarts and example dashboards works, launch will still fail if external users and operators cannot understand setup, limits, and expected behavior from publishable docs.
• This task is about making the product externally explainable: clear setup guidance, examples, troubleshooting, and boundary-setting around what is and is not supported at launch.
• Expected touchpoints include examples/, review/publishing docs, production-line scripts, and dashboard content fixtures, user-facing docs, operator notes, and any examples or screenshots needed to make the launch story concrete.

Possible Solutions

• A - Ship with only internal notes and ad hoc examples: faster, but it shifts launch confusion onto support and sales conversations.
• B - Recommended: produce a focused external-readiness doc set: cover setup, primary workflows, limitations, troubleshooting, and operator/admin guidance where needed.
• C - Delay docs until after launch traffic appears: saves time now, but increases launch-day friction and inconsistent messaging.

Plan

1. Define the minimum documentation set needed for external users, internal operators, and anyone supporting repeatable production, review, and publishing of quickstarts and example dashboards at launch.
2. Draft or update the core guides, examples, known-limits sections, and troubleshooting notes using the actual launch scope.
3. Review the docs against the product behavior and remove any claims that are not yet supportable in the code or operations model.
4. Link the publishable docs to follow-up maintenance owners so launch documentation does not drift immediately after release.
