What will go wrong on launch day

Fatal · they leave before they understandCostly · they understand and still leaveDrag · it works, and could work better
  1. CostlyOffer · O2 partialup to +5.5
    Potential problem
    “No future updates”

    A developer sees a 'no updates' clause on a JS kit and assumes the product is disposable.

    Proposalyou decide
    AOffer a limited update window (e.g., 6 months) for the Starter tier.
  2. CostlyProof · P2 pass
    Potential problem
    “Is this outbid.lol? No... Outbid.lol is one board that made ~$90k in two days.”

    The only verifiable high-value proof is buried in the FAQ, leaving the rest of the page as claims.

    Proposalyou decide
    APlace the Outbid.lol $90k result in the 'Why this exists' section.
  3. DragOffer · O5 pass
    Potential problem
    “If the untouched kit doesn't run”

    The word 'untouched' signals a loophole, making the guarantee feel like a trap.

    Proposalyou decide
    ARemove 'untouched' and guarantee the kit's functionality.
  4. DragClarity · C5 pass
    Potential problem
    “[Get BidKit - $99](/api/checkout)”

    Technical buyers who need to verify the stack or API before paying will bounce.

    Proposalyou decide
    AAdd a 'View Docs' link next to the primary CTA.

Don’t break these

Leave the interactive demo board as the primary visual.
Keep the 'Sponsors pay monthly. Rivalries pay daily' contrast.
Keep the one-time payment model and clear pricing grid.
