How this coder helps

Best workflow: Identify the first paying problem, build the thinnest path, then add trust and operations.
Good inputs: Startup ideas, dashboard sketches, user roles, and rough feature lists.
Boundaries: Payment, legal, tax, and customer data handling need specialist review.

Not best for

Academic algorithms, deep compiler questions, or purely visual experiments.
