The scorecard table uses || at the start of each row, which introduces an extra blank column in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Use standard single-pipe table syntax so it renders as intended.

The score breakdown table uses || at the start of each row which introduces an empty first column in GitHub Markdown. Update to standard single-pipe table syntax so it renders correctly.

This section states that a privacy policy is linked in the footer and that a GDPR-compliant unsubscribe mechanism exists. In the current code, components/Footer.tsx has no privacy/terms links, and app/unsubscribe/page.tsx only displays a success message based on a query param without actually performing an unsubscribe action. Please either implement the missing privacy/terms pages + footer links and a real unsubscribe flow (ideally tokenized), or update the audit text to reflect the current behavior so it’s not misleading.

| **Privacy Compliance:** | |
| - ✅ Unsubscribe mechanism: `/unsubscribe?email=XXX` | |

| **Privacy Compliance:** | |

The suggested Vercel Analytics setup here recommends adding an analytics key to vercel.json, but the repo’s existing monitoring guide (MONITORING_SETUP.md) documents enabling Analytics via the Vercel dashboard and adding @vercel/analytics to the app layout. Please align this section with MONITORING_SETUP.md (and/or remove the vercel.json snippet) to avoid incorrect setup instructions.

| **Q: What about compliance (GDPR, etc.)?** | ||
| A: ✅ Minimal PII, unsubscribe available, no tracking cookies, privacy policy. |

This answer claims “unsubscribe available” and “privacy policy”, but the current app doesn’t include /privacy or /terms routes and the footer doesn’t link them; additionally /unsubscribe is only a confirmation UI and does not actually unsubscribe an address. Please update this Q/A to match the current implementation (or add the missing pages + unsubscribe backend behavior).
| A: ✅ Minimal PII, unsubscribe available, no tracking cookies, privacy policy. | |
| A: ✅ Minimal PII and no tracking cookies. ⚠️ Unsubscribe flow and privacy/terms pages are planned but not yet implemented in the current app. |

There’s an internal inconsistency in the readiness classification: earlier the report states 42/50 is “Public Beta Ready”, but the score range table classifies 36–42 as “Employee Pilot Ready” and 43–50 as “Public Beta Ready”. Please reconcile the ranges/labels so 42/50 maps to the intended readiness level.

The scorecard table uses a leading empty column (|| ...) which renders as an extra blank column in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Update the table rows to use standard single-pipe syntax (| Category | Score | ... |) so the table renders correctly.
Comprehensive production readiness audit evaluating 10 critical categories (Identity, Secrets, Data Safety, Reliability, Observability, CI/CD, Security, Testing, Performance, Documentation) against enterprise deployment standards.
Score: 42/50 (84%)
