Production-Ready MVP Checklist for Founders

Eighteen items to verify before you charge money or run ads to your AI-built product.

Key takeaways

  • Staging environment and CI are not optional.
  • Legal pages and data handling matter before ads.
  • Pixetech helps close gaps from $500.

An MVP is viable when customers can pay and you can support them—not when the demo impresses your co-founder.

Verify auth, billing, error pages, privacy policy, and contact path. Verify backups and who gets alerted when the site is down.

Verify integrations with test accounts in staging. Verify you can deploy without SSH and pray.

Verify analytics and support inbox so you know when users struggle.

Verify rate limits on public APIs and agent tools so one user cannot drain your budget.

Use this checklist as a gate before paid acquisition. Pixetech runs production-readiness sprints that tick these boxes in weeks, not quarters.
