The costliest software mistakes happen before anyone writes a line of code.
We see the same five again and again, usually from smart founders who were in a hurry.
Hiring a developer before you know what to build. They're ready on Monday. You're still deciding on Friday. You pay for the week either way.
Planning the whole vision as version one. Forty features and one launch date, on a budget that covers about ten of them.
Asking for a quote without a scope. A quote without a scope is a guess with a number on it, and you find out which parts were guesses at the worst possible moment.
Skipping the people who'll use it. A handful of conversations with real users will cut your feature list faster than any planning meeting.
Letting someone else own your accounts. Your domain, your code repository, and your app store listing belong in your name from day one, whoever builds the product.
None of these are technical mistakes. They're decisions made in the wrong order, and the order costs nothing to fix.
