Opus 5.5 + $10k is f**king insane if you do it in this order "you don't need a million users to hit $1M a year, you need 84 companies paying you $1k a month" most people will burn their $10k on a pretty landing page and quit, so bookmark this before you become one of them [paste this into claude before you spend a single dollar 👇] 1. Before you build anything, ask me what boring task people already pay humans to do, and if I can't name one, refuse to write code 2. Price it against the salary it replaces, because 3 employees at $4,000 a month doing this by hand means $1,000 a month is a no brainer 3. Build the ugly version first with one input box, one button and one report, and do zero design work until 10 people pay 4. Make a change, run it, find what broke and fix it, then loop until the whole flow works end to end and stop there 5. Kill anything where serving one customer costs more than half the price, since no amount of features saves bad margin 6. Never sell the model, sell the hours, because "saves your team 3 hours a day" closes deals and spec sheets don't same $10k and two founders, one gets 84 customers while the other gets a gold plated app nobody opened
