Why dev agencies fail startups
Common reasons startups lose time and money with dev agencies.
Agencies are not the problem. Misaligned scope and unclear ownership are. This guide shows the failure patterns and how to avoid them.
Scope is undefined
When the scope is vague, agencies build the wrong things. That creates rework and cost overruns.
No single owner
If no one owns decisions, the agency will wait or build by assumption.
Risk is discovered late
Data, integrations, and permissions are often ignored until the end. That is when schedules collapse.
Target Outcome
A clear list of failure modes you can prevent up front.
