What you learn, checkpoint by checkpoint

1. Checkpoint A

   Scope the MVP and set up the full-stack skeleton

   • Pick your stack and set up the full-stack skeleton (frontend, API, database)
   • Plan the build order so the most important feature ships first

2. Checkpoint B

   Build the core features, data model and AI feature

   • Build the database schema, auth layer and core data model
   • Ship the primary feature end to end through the full stack
   • Add a real AI feature and handle its output responsibly

3. Checkpoint C

   Test, harden and ship to production

   • Add error handling, tests and polish throughout the app
   • Wire CI/CD and deploy to production on a real domain
   • Record a demo walkthrough and write the capstone case study
