Need you guys' help with a test dilemma

I am in a dilemma about testing our platform.

The situation is as follows:

We are in the process of building an "all-in-one" link building platform for marketers (SEOs) that is centralized on contextual relevance.

We use different text analysis models to read and understand the textual content of websites to match them with other relevant web pages, as link opportunities.

In this context, we have created an algorithm that quantifies this context analysis, so it is easy to sort in the degree of relevance, called Link Relevance Score (LRS).

In addition, we are in the process of building an outreach feature, which we call Link Community, that allows our users to request links from other users directly from the platform. All link requests are then tracked in a management system (follows from request until the link is uploaded and tracks if it is live afterward) which we are also close to finishing.

So far, we have gathered just under 300 companies for our waiting list and we have started receiving inquiries, which indicate a bit of impatience with the most committed users. Originally, we had set a beta launch in late November, but a handful of setbacks have meant that we might not be ready until late January (maybe February, if no setbacks show up).

We are about two weeks from finishing the part that shows link opportunities, where you can then export them to CSV, add to a campaign list (to make mass action easier) and remove the link opportunity.

The outreach function is also finished, but since it is dependent on the Link Community (which is a two-part feature, ie a sender (my requests status) and receiver (requests)) and the tracking system, both of which are not finished, we can not test for the outreach function yet.

My question then is whether we should wait for the Link Community and tracking system to be ready to be tested, or whether we should just open up for testing the link opportunities function ASAP, even though we have actually marketed ourselves as an all-in-one link building platform?

What do you want to do yourself in this situation and if you have been in a similar situation, how do you handle it then?
