In the year this has percolated with me, I've grown to actively dislike it. I have three major problems with it:
1. This cutesey "seed, A, B" triage scheme is misleading. In reality, you can break everything down into just two categories: "do it before product/market fit" and "do it after product/market fit" (or "now" and "later", or whatever you'd like to call them).
2. Most of what this list defers to later phases shouldn't be deferred --- or at least, if you're going to do it at all, there's benefit to doing it early. Monitoring computers? Much harder to start at "series B". SDLC? Same. Share accounts until "series A"? I like how their product category, "RASP", is assigned "seed" stage, though.
3. It's not internally consistent, or, at least, to make it internally consistent you would have to make silly decisions. For instance: use 2FA where possible early, and later centralize authentication?
I feel like this list is unserious, and serves essentially the sole purpose of putting "RASP" on the "do now" agenda.
