The Burned Founder Pattern

You've heard these stories before. Maybe you've lived one.

I spent $50K on an agency and got a half-working MVP I can't ship.
Eight months. $60K. A zip file with no documentation and code nobody else can read.
I managed the developers instead of running the business. Every spec gap cost me a week.
The scope crept. The price crept. The deadline moved three times. Nothing was in writing.

Contractual Guarantee

The Scope Guarantee (It's in the Contract)

If Sprint 1 does not deliver the agreed core feature as defined in the spec, the team extends Sprint 1 at no additional cost until acceptance criteria are met.

Written spec signed before development starts

Acceptance checklist governing every sprint

Source code goes to your repo from day one

PM who controls scope, not the dev who controls the timeline

This is the trust mechanism. Specificity replaces hope.
