2 of the 8 were due before today.

For anyone who wrote a deadline down and then kept building.

Recognized promises with dates come back as proposed Gates. Check the quoted lines; the extractor can miss commitments. Nothing you paste is published or used for training.

Building is cheap now. Deciding is not. This free readout identifies dated promises; you decide and record what happens next.

Table 1 · the free extraction and its limits

A ruled go / no-go checklist sheet with dial gauges, one needle past its limit.
Fig. 1Aviation practice. No line closes without a criterion, a limit and a recorded outcome.
sec 01the problem

Gates pass in silence.

A month of agent output leaves 12 half-built repos and 40 pages of plans.

Every one holds a promise your optimistic past self wrote down. Launch dates. Kill criteria. Revenue gates.

Nobody reads them again. There is 1 approver and no mechanism that forces a verdict.

So projects are not killed. They are abandoned quietly, and the open count only rises. You lose the ability to tell execution from accumulation.

sec 02the mechanism

Find the promises. Review the dates.

You paste a source. The extraction proposes Gates from recognized dated promises. Defaults, Verdicts and limits remain yours to apply.

001Gate

A recognized promise with a deadline and a proposed Default. Check it against the quoted source line.

002Default

A proposed consequence to review. The free readout does not execute Defaults or change your projects.

003Verdict

PASS or FAIL, with 1 line of reason. Record these yourself; the free readout does not record Verdicts.

004Decision Queue

Choose at most 3 Gates to review yourself. No daily Decision Queue or reminders are included.

005WIP Brake

Set an open-Gate limit in your own record. The free readout does not track or enforce it.

A single instrument dial, its needle resting past the limit mark.
sec 03the ledger

A manual record compounds.

Keep your own Ledger with each Gate, its date, its Verdict and 1 line of reason.

This is a hypothetical manual record, not an available feature. The free readout does not maintain a Ledger.

Manual example: Gate 14, 4 Nov 2026. Proposed Default: KILLED.

Example close rate: 2 of 3 closed by decision (67%).

Illustrative Ledger only. No automatic closure or permanent record is provided.

sec 04the alternatives

Find promises here. Record decisions yourself.

a Notion decision log

You record decisions yourself. ShipGates helps find dated promises in a source; it does not enforce their deadlines.

Linear or Todoist

They track work. Keep your decision reasons separately; the free readout does not maintain a permanent Ledger.

Beeminder or stickK

They stake money on habits. Nothing is staked here, and the free readout imposes no consequence.

Motion or Sunsama

Your calendar is not the constraint. A scheduler will happily book time for a dead project.

doing nothing

Free, and the open count keeps rising. This is the real competitor.

sec 05the price

Free extraction. No enforcement.

The extraction and its readout are free. They propose Gates; they do not open Gates or record Verdicts.

No account, no card and no email, before the readout or after it.

The Lifetime Pass is not on sale. Nothing here charges you, and nothing renews.
