The 5 Questions to Ask Before You Build
What you'll learn A 30-minute self-interview that kills bad ideas before you write a line of code. Why it matters Founders spend an average of ₹4 lakh building MVPs for ideas that could have been killed with a 30-minute conversation. The playbook 1) Would 10 people I don't know pay me ₹500 to solve this today? 2) Have I personally felt this pain in the last 30 days? 3) Can I name 5 competitors — and do they have unhappy customers? 4) Can I reach my first 100 users without paid ads? 5) Would I still work on this if it took 5 years and made me no rich? Common mistakes Asking friends and family (they lie). Skipping question 3 because 'we're first to market' (you're not). Building for a niche too small to matter. Next action Answer all 5 in a doc. Any 'no' means iterate the idea before you build.
