A free checklist to filter the bad agencies in your shortlist. Catches junior-only teams, hidden lock-in, vague timelines, weak code-handover, and the "unlimited revisions" trap. Use it on us, use it on anyone.
Most Indian SMEs choose their software agency based on portfolio + price. That's not enough — half of failed projects are agencies that look fine on paper but ship junior code, lock you into proprietary stacks, or vanish post-handover. These 32 questions surface those risks in the first call. Use them on every shortlisted agency, including us. The goal isn't "yes to everything" — it's that you know what you're getting.
Drop your details — we’ll WhatsApp you the link in under a minute. No follow-up sales call unless you ask.
Yes — that's the test. We give written answers to all 32 in writing, before any contract, on request. If any agency refuses to answer or gives vague answers, that's signal.
Probably question 8: "Will I get the source code in a GitHub repo I own from day one?" The right answer is yes. The wrong answer is "after final payment" or "in our private repo you can request access to". This single question filters out a surprising number of agencies.
Yes — give them 48 hours to come back in writing. A real agency will. A vapor agency won't.
The PDF includes a 5-point rubric per question (red flag → vague → acceptable → good → exceptional). Total possible: 160 points. Most decent agencies score 110-130. Below 90 is a no.
About 22 of the 32 questions still apply. The team-related ones (Q1-5) collapse to one question. The references and Pvt Ltd questions don't apply. We mark which questions to skip in the PDF.
