    How to Use This Checklist

    This checklist is designed for founders at the pre-build stage. Go through each section in order. If you cannot confidently check off an item, pause and work through it before moving on.

    The goal is not to complete every item perfectly. The goal is to have clear, documented answers before you invest in development. Every hour spent planning saves days of rework.

    1. Define Your Target User

    2. Identify the Core Problem

    3. Define Your MVP Scope

    4. Map the User Journey

    5. Choose Your Tech Stack

    6. Design the Data Model

    7. Plan Your Development Sprints

    8. Test Before Launch

    9. Prepare for Launch

    10. Post-Launch: Measure What Matters
