Out the door at 80 percent, because version two is where it gets good
You think by typing, and you want the decision to exist somewhere
You want eyes on it early, because surprises at the end are worse
Who you are
You put the rough version in the channel early and let people react. Nothing you make is finished when you first show it, and that's deliberate — you'd rather find out it's wrong on day two than day ten.
This is how good work actually gets made and a lot of people are too self-conscious to do it. By publishing the mess, you give everyone else permission to be useful early, and you turn what would have been solo work into something several people quietly improved.
The cost is noise. Not everything you post needs a response, but people can't tell which is which, so your team ends up reading a lot of thinking-out-loud. And a rough draft in a public channel is read as a proposal by anyone senior who scrolls past it.
Label the state. "Rough, no response needed" versus "needs a decision" — two words that save everyone a lot.

- Someone senior read your rough draft as a real proposal
