The rule

If it doesn't help you learn from your first ten paying customers, cut it.

Must-haves

Auth, one paid plan, the core workflow, an admin table to fulfil orders manually, and Stripe. That's it.

Ship-later

Teams, roles, SSO, dashboards, integrations, notifications — every one of these is a two-week detour. Ship v1 first.
