## Dispatches

- [The DEPLOY1 quality gate dataset: what our checks actually measure](https://deploy1.blog/posts/quality-gate-dataset/): Every change to this repository passes the same quality gate: typecheck, workspace manifest check, lint, format, tests and build. This dispatch documents exactly what each gate covers. (Benchmark Dataset, September 21, 2026)
- [Latency and conversion sandbox: the model behind the homepage slider](https://deploy1.blog/posts/latency-conversion-sandbox/): The homepage sandbox is a static, transparent model — not a prediction. Here is every formula, constant and assumption behind the numbers it shows, so you can disagree with them. (Interactive Sandbox, September 20, 2026)
- [Fixed-scope delivery: when productized sprints work — and when they don't](https://deploy1.blog/posts/fixed-scope-deployments/): Deploy1 runs on fixed-price, fixed-window sprints: $500 in a day, $5,000 in seven days, $20,000 in thirty. This post is the honest version of when that model wins, and where it breaks. (Field Note, September 17, 2026)
- [Server-side lead intake without a form framework](https://deploy1.blog/posts/server-side-lead-intake/): How we replaced a direct-to-provider form POST with a first-party endpoint that validates every field server-side, honeypots bots and rate-limits abuse — in a couple of hundred lines. (System Blueprint, September 11, 2026)
- [A minimal static site generator within a few hundred lines](https://deploy1.blog/posts/minimal-static-site-generator/): This blog runs on a hand-rolled static generator with no framework. Here is how it works: strict frontmatter validation, a constrained Markdown renderer, and plain HTML templates. (Architecture Deep Dive, September 4, 2026)
- [Static-first: why our marketing sites don't reach for a framework](https://deploy1.blog/posts/static-first-marketing-sites/): For a marketing site, the best runtime is often none at all. A look at the decision framework we use before adding React, Next.js or any build framework to a content site. (Peer-Reviewed Research, August 26, 2026)
