User Guide — Apogee Launch Co. 24-Month Plan
Opening the plan
Open public/index.html in any web browser (double-click it, or drag it into a browser tab). No server, no internet, and no install are required — the entire plan is embedded in the single HTML file.
If the published version is live, you can also open it at https://<owner>.github.io/<repo>/rocket-24-month-plan/.
Reading the page
The page is one scroll, top to bottom:
- Header + stats — funding, crew, days, target apogee, phases, plus the
scope/honesty note (what is and isn't claimed).
- Phase roadmap — the 10 phases with day ranges, the accountable lead, the
goal, and the hard exit gate for each.
- Capital plan — a cumulative-spend chart against the $200M cap, plus the
budget allocation donut.
- The crew — the 5 leads and what each owns.
- Milestones & gates — every gate from kickoff to flight.
- Risk register — the top program risks with owners and mitigations.
Using the day-by-day planner
This is the core of the deliverable — a plan for every one of the 730 days.
- Pick a month with the M1–M24 pills. The table below jumps to that month.
- Pick a day by clicking its
D###button in the month table, or use
Prev/Next day and ±1 wk in the detail card.
- The detail card shows, for the selected day: the date, phase, day-of-phase,
spend-to-date, percent of timeline elapsed, the primary objective, the parallel track, that day's rhythm (stand-ups, weekly reviews, monthly board updates), and a callout when the day is a milestone.
- The month table lists every day in the month with its focus, lead, and
running spend. Milestone days are starred; weekends are de-emphasized.
Regenerating
If you edit the plan model (src/plan.mjs), rebuild the site and re-verify:
node build-site.mjs
node verify.mjs
verify.mjs will fail loudly if the edit breaks consistency (e.g. a phase gap, a budget that no longer sums to $200M, or a milestone outside its phase).
