Open enrollment only when the published offer and the learner’s next steps are ready. Use this checklist with the explainx team before announcing a run.

## Check the offer

1. Confirm the audience, outcomes, prerequisites, and required tools.
2. Verify session dates, time zone, duration, capacity, and enrollment deadline.
3. Check the price, checkout destination, and applicable purchase terms.
4. Confirm what resources, recordings, feedback, and certificates are included.

## Check the learning experience

Prepare the first exercise, session links, welcome instructions, and support contact. Make sure learners know where to find their dashboard and community classroom. Review access using the intended enrollment flow.

## Check the invitation

Test the public page and links on a phone. Confirm that staff are ready to handle questions and access issues. If essential details are still unsettled, collect interest through the appropriate waitlist instead of presenting the run as ready to book.
