After You Duplicate — Health Check

Run this before you wipe the Northpine Goods sample data. A bad Duplicate can look like an empty kit — usually the relations didn't travel, not that you “broke Notion.”

Goal: confirm the copy is healthy in three checks, then start Day 1.

<aside> ℹ️

These checks take about two minutes. If any fail, re-Duplicate from the original share link once before you rebuild by hand.

The 3 checks

[ ] Check 1 — Sample rows are visible. Open the five databases. You should see fictional Northpine Goods examples, not blank tables. Look for rows such as Trail Merino Beanie, Northpine Daypack 20L, Field Notebook Set (3), and Orders Handoff Log entries like #1001 / #1002.
[ ] Check 2 — Linked values still show. Open a sample Inventory or Orders Handoff row. Related fields and notes should still display (SKU, status, product name). If titles exist but every relation or select is empty, the Duplicate dropped the links.
[ ] Check 3 — You can edit a row. Click into a sample cell and type a test character, then undo. If tables are locked or “cannot be edited,” stop and re-Duplicate. Don’t spend an hour reverse-engineering the schema.

All three passed? You can wipe the sample when you’re ready and follow Launch Dashboard.

What “healthy” looks like

Database	You should see
‣	Pre-filled launch steps (payments, shipping, test order, etc.) you can tick
‣	Sample SKUs such as Trail Merino Beanie and Summit Shell Jacket, with a stage (Active / Later)
‣	On-hand sample rows (Daypack, Beanie, Notebook Set) with qty / cost / reorder notes
‣	Sample orders (#1001, #1002, or MAN-004) with a status
‣	A few launch-week sample posts already sketched

Child pages (Launch Dashboard, SOPs, Week-1 Stall Checklist, First-Order Retrospective) should open normally.

If a check fails

Don’t rebuild tables or formulas by hand yet.
Go back to the original kit link you were sent and Duplicate the whole master page again into your workspace.
Repeat the 3 checks on the new copy. If the second copy is healthy, archive the broken one.
If it still fails, email [email protected] with a screenshot of the blank or locked table and your Gumroad receipt. We’ll help you get a clean copy.

After the checks pass

Optional: walk Northpine Goods — Day 1–14 Sample Walkthrough so you see how the sample maps to the 14 days. Wipe Northpine Goods sample rows when you’re ready (see README). Then open Start Here — Day 1 (One Action) — write one offer sentence and tick the Day 1 Launch Checklist items. You don’t need to read the rest of the kit first. If Days 1–7 feel busy but not closer to a buyable offer, use the Week-1 Stall Checklist.
