Critical questions for nocode projects 
       =======================================
       
       
       First of all: I’m a big proponent of no-code. But enjoy it in moderation. I’m even building one myself.

       I only have a few strong questions, loosely held: 
       
       
       1. Version control? 
       --------------------
       
       
       Is the development under version control? This is important for answering auditing questions: what was the business process or policy for y at moment x ? 
       
       
       2. Maintenance 
       ---------------
       
       
       How does maintenance work/costs and who does it? 
       
       
       3. Auditing? 
       -------------
       
       
       Can the application itself do auditing for user data? Does it track history? 
       
       
       4. 80-20 rule? 
       ---------------
       
       
       I estimate that you can build 80% of the functionality 5-10x faster than with regular development. What about the remaining 20%? Are there any extensibility points for low-code or high-code? 
       
       
       5. Pricing? 
       ------------
       
       
       Per user per month? What is a user? A registered user? Someone actively using it?

       These questions also apply to LLM-generated code or Vibe Coding!
