Where people slip
- !Generic enthusiasm about startup culture or AI
- !No understanding of the company business model
- !Ignoring Indian price sensitivity, regulation or operational variance
- !Architecture without failure recovery and observability
- !Claiming a recommended case was actually asked
06
Ask them this
- ?What is the exact loop for this team and level?
- ?Which rounds permit AI tools?
- ?What would I own in the first 90 days?
- ?What is the hardest product or model constraint the team faces in India?
- ?How does the team measure quality after launch?
- ?How are ESOPs valued and what is the exercise policy?
