Five steps added.
Five failures caught.

The Afterlaunch standard
Every workflow we touch leaves with these eight.
Duplicate-proofThe same event can arrive twice and only act once.
Retries with limitsBackoff with jitter and a maximum. Never an endless loop.
Timeouts everywhereEvery external call has a time limit, so nothing hangs for hours.
A human gets alertedPlain-language alerts on Slack, email or WhatsApp, with what broke and what it affected.
AI output validatedModel responses are checked against a schema before anything downstream uses them.
Credential expiry handledAuth failures are caught and flagged with a reconnect guide.
Failed items keptAnything that fails is stored so it can be replayed safely, not re-typed by hand.
Signed requests onlyWebhooks verify the sender, so nobody can push fake records in.
What you get back
Four things, no Afterlaunch branding.
Everything is handed back ready to forward to your client under your own name.
