DeadWatch · Roadmap

Where the watch is headed.

A plain, honest view of the product: what's live and in use today, what we're actively building, and the directions we're exploring. We ship steadily and prefer to show real progress over promises.

This roadmap is directional and it evolves — priorities shift as we learn. Nothing here carries a date, and no date is a promise. Items move left as they land.

In Progress · Beta Real, working, not yet general availability
Building

Kestrel module Beta

The Kestrel lead-gen engine as an entitlement-gated module inside the app — discovery → audit → AI copy → export, alongside your monitoring. Live in beta; hardening toward GA.

Building

Booking module

A Calendly-style scheduling surface — availability, double-booking guards and portal/embed views — for turning outreach into booked calls. Backend nucleus in place; surfaces in progress.

Building

MCP module

A controllable in-app MCP module so operators and customers can drive DeadWatch from AI tooling. Entitlement-gated, in active development.

Building

VRT weighted-zone awareness

Extending visual regression so diffs are weighted by the importance of the region they land in — a change in the hero counts more than one in the footer. Building on the shipped weighted-zone base.

Exploring · Planned Directions we're weighing — not commitments
Exploring

Deeper integrations

Connecting DeadWatch into more of the tools teams already run. We're exploring which integrations earn their place.

Exploring

Expanded lead-capture sources

Broadening the sources Kestrel can discover from, beyond today's set. Under investigation, no commitment yet.

Exploring

More notification channels

Additional destinations beyond Email, Slack, Discord and Webhook. We're gauging demand before we build.

Exploring

Compliance & reporting

Expanded reporting and compliance-oriented views for teams that need to evidence their monitoring. Shape still being explored.

Everything on this page reflects real product work — nothing is invented to pad the list. Because priorities move as we learn from real use, treat this roadmap as a direction of travel, not a schedule.
