## Standard answer

Vibe coding is useful for turning a landing page, calculator, form, or interactive checklist into a testable prototype. Publishable is not production-ready. Authentication, payments, private customer data, sensitive inputs, permissions, and critical logic require code review, security testing, logging, backups, and human acceptance.

## Costs to include

- Subscription and quota
- Domain, hosting, or platform lock-in
- Data storage and third-party integrations
- Mobile, browser, and accessibility QA
- Monitoring, rollback, and weekly maintenance time

## Seven-day minimum test

Choose one job, use fake data, and disable payments, login, sensitive fields, and automatic sends. Ask 10 target users to complete it; use at least 6 independent completions as an initial gate. Record blockers, fix minutes, and connector failures. On day seven, stop, rebuild for production, or continue narrowly.

## Stop-loss

Stop expanding if users cannot finish the core job, the same errors recur, storage/deletion/export/access cannot be explained, sensitive data needs professional review, or weekly maintenance exceeds the test budget.
