Who Sees What
Can one customer see or change another customer’s data?
Example result. Your estimated score is based on your answers.
The demo worked. Now comes the part users depend on.
What works in a demo can behave very differently in real use.
The demo showed the best-case path. Real users won’t always stay on it. That’s when access, failed payments, broken flows, and recovery start to matter.
Can one customer see another customer’s data?
A working login proves someone can get in. It doesn’t prove they can only see what belongs to them.
Can someone use a paid feature without paying?
A working checkout proves the payment went through. It doesn’t prove the app checks payment before giving access.
What happens when an update breaks something else?
You fix one thing, another breaks, and rolling back removes the feature you just added. Without a safer way to test changes, the app can get stuck in the same loop.
You didn’t build it wrong. The job has changed.
The next step isn’t more prompting. It’s checking what can hold up.
Getting the app working is a real milestone. The next job is checking the parts a demo usually doesn’t prove: access, payments, recovery, broken updates, data rules, and handoff.
Reaching this stage does not mean you built it wrong. It means the app has moved from “can it work?” to “can people depend on it?”
The Last 20% is the part after the app works, where you find out what it can handle when real people depend on it.
The 12 areas your demo doesn’t prove
The Beyond the Demo Framework shows what still needs an answer.
The Scorecard gives you a first pass across the areas a demo usually leaves unanswered, so you can see where to look next before more depends on the app.
