Overview

This checklist is designed to help you move from testing to production with confidence.

Before going live, you should make sure your Begini setup has been tested end-to-end, your team understands how results will be received and used, and your production environment is ready.

This is not a technical implementation guide. It is a practical readiness checklist to help confirm that the key parts of your setup are in place.

Before you go live

Before launching Begini in a live environment, make sure you have:

• A live use case and deployment confirmed
• The correct assessment flow or integration path agreed internally
• Key stakeholders aligned on how Begini results will be used
• At least one successful end-to-end test completed

This should include both the user journey and the internal result handling process.

Integration readiness

Before go live, confirm that your chosen integration path is working as expected.

This may include:

• Creating assessment sessions successfully
• Generating and distributing assessment links correctly
• Understanding how Integration IDs and Unique IDs are used
• Confirming how users will be matched to results in your own systems

If you are starting with the no-code link generator, make sure the correct deployment is selected and that generated links have been tested before release.

If you are integrating directly via API, make sure session creation and response handling have both been validated.

Assessment flow readiness

Before launch, test the full user journey from start to finish.

This should include:

• Opening the assessment successfully on the target device
• Completing the assessment without interruption
• Confirming the user experience is clear and accessible
• Checking that completed assessments generate results as expected

This is particularly important if you are launching in a live customer journey, as the assessment should feel smooth and reliable from the user’s perspective.

Results and decisioning readiness

Before go live, make sure your team understands what happens once an assessment is completed.

You should confirm:

• Where results will be viewed or received
• Who is responsible for monitoring them
• How the risk score and supporting outputs will be used internally
• That your team understands the meaning of trait insights and trust indicators

If results will be used in decisioning, review the operational process before launch so there is no ambiguity once live traffic starts.

Webhooks and real-time flow

If you are using webhooks, confirm that your real-time delivery flow is ready.

This should include:

• Webhook endpoints configured correctly
• Successful receipt of webhook events during testing
• Internal handling for failed or missed events understood
• Event delivery validated in the correct environment

You do not need to include full payload logic in this checklist, but you should be confident that results can be received and processed reliably.

Security and environment readiness

Before moving into production, confirm that the correct environment and credentials are being used.

You should check:

• Production API keys are ready and stored securely
• Sandbox and production environments are clearly understood
• Access to Beacon is restricted appropriately
• Any required security controls are in place
• HMAC verification is configured where relevant

This helps avoid common issues caused by using the wrong environment or exposing credentials unnecessarily.

Operational readiness

Going live is not only about technical setup. Your team should also be ready to manage Begini day to day.

Before launch, confirm that:

• Relevant users have access to Beacon
• Teams know where to review completed assessments
• Internal teams understand how to interpret outputs
• Basic monitoring and escalation processes are in place
• Someone owns ongoing review of performance and results

Even a simple internal process is better than none. The important thing is to avoid uncertainty once the integration is live.

Optional enhancements

Once your core assessment flow is live, you may choose to extend your setup further.

This can include:

• Integrating directly via API
• Adding webhook-based real-time processing
• Introducing Device Data SDKs for additional fraud and behavioural signals
• Expanding internal reporting and monitoring processes

These are not required for initial launch, but they can strengthen the value of the overall deployment over time.

Final checklist

Before go live, confirm that you can answer yes to the following:

• The correct deployment is configured
• The assessment flow has been tested end-to-end
• Users can complete the assessment successfully
• Results are generated and visible as expected
• Your team knows how results will be reviewed and used
• Webhooks or API result flows have been tested where relevant
• The correct environment and credentials are in place
• Security checks have been completed
• Beacon access has been set up for the right users
• Internal ownership for monitoring and support is clear

Next steps

Once these checks are complete, you should be ready to launch your Begini deployment in a live environment.
