+          **Purpose**: This document provides actionable guidance for executing the big-bang conversion in production environments outside of development conversations.
+
+          **For Operations Teams**: 
+          - Use this as a checklist during conversion execution
+          - Follow phases sequentially and validate each step
+          - Have rollback procedures ready at all times
+          - Maintain communication throughout the process
+
+          **For Management**: 
+          - Use this to understand conversion scope and risks
+          - Monitor progress through defined checkpoints
+          - Be prepared for go/no-go decisions
+          - Support team with necessary resources
+
+          **Post-Conversion**: This document serves as a record of the conversion process and can be used to improve future conversion procedures.

+          ```
+
+          Now validate the new system and prepare for production conversion readiness.
+          Update the plan file with conversion readiness tasks and mark completed implementation tasks.

+      You are in the conversion readiness phase. The CONVERSION_PLAN.md file has been created at .vibe/CONVERSION_PLAN.md.
+
+      **Your Tasks:**
+      1. **Final System Validation**: Validate that new system passes all functional equivalence tests
+      2. **Behavioral Comparison Validation**: Confirm behavioral comparison mechanisms work correctly
+      3. **Performance Validation**: Ensure new system meets performance requirements
+      4. **Integration Validation**: Validate all external system integrations work correctly
+      5. **Conversion Plan Review**: Review and customize the CONVERSION_PLAN.md for your specific environment
+      6. **Team Readiness**: Ensure operations team is ready for production conversion
+      7. **Final Go/No-Go Assessment**: Make final assessment of conversion readiness
+
+      **Review and Present to User:**
+      - Review new system functional equivalence test results and present findings
+      - Present behavioral comparison mechanism status and validation results
+      - Review CONVERSION_PLAN.md completeness and present customization needs
+      - Present final conversion readiness assessment and any remaining concerns
+
+      **Best Practices to Apply:**
+      - **Comprehensive Validation**: Validate every aspect of system readiness
+      - **Risk Assessment**: Assess and mitigate all identified risks
+      - **Team Preparation**: Ensure all teams are prepared for conversion
+      - **Documentation Review**: Ensure all documentation is complete and accurate
+      - **Contingency Planning**: Have backup plans for all scenarios
+      - **Stakeholder Communication**: Keep stakeholders informed of readiness status
+
+      **Conversion Readiness Checklist:**
+      - New system passes all boundary tests (functional equivalence proven)
+      - Behavioral comparison mechanism validates system equivalence
+      - Performance requirements are met or exceeded
+      - All external integrations work correctly
+      - CONVERSION_PLAN.md is customized for your environment
+      - Operations team is trained and ready
+      - Rollback procedures are tested and ready
+
+      **Final Deliverables:**
+      - Fully functional new system with proven equivalence
+      - Operational behavioral comparison mechanism
+      - Comprehensive CONVERSION_PLAN.md for production execution
+      - Validated rollback procedures
+      - Ready operations team
+
+      Update the plan file with readiness validation results and mark completed tasks.
