Vendor risk check
Before you sign, find out who you're really dealing with
Most founders only learn a vendor's red flags after the money's gone. This is the second opinion you wish you'd had first. Answer honestly about the shop you're considering, and we'll tell you where the risk is, even if it isn't us.
Score your developer, not yourself
Answer for the shop you're working with (or thinking about). We'll grade them on the three things founders get burned by: ghosting, overcharging, and lock-in.
1. After launch, who do you actually reach?
2. How fast do they reply right now, before you've paid?
3. How do they bill?
4. Did you get a written scope before a number?
5. Will you own the code and the repository?
6. Whose accounts does everything live on?
