Launch lag
Launch lag is the time from the creation of a ChatGPT app's id to the day the app first appears in the directory. In our listing sample, the 19 apps that went live from Oct 7 to Oct 13 with a creation date (outside the Oct 8–9 batch) took a median of 32.5 days from id to listing.

More from our data
The fastest took 3.7 days and the slowest 191.1; 6 took under 14 days and 5 more than 60. That is a small sample (n = 19), one week of go-lives, so treat it as a first reading, not a benchmark.
Don't read it as review time. The clock starts when the id is created, which can be well before an app is submitted.
