Early in my career, I learned a simple 'demo day' rule: never demo things that aren't end-to-end done.

When you do, it can easily confuse folks who aren't deeply involved in your project ("haven't I seen this already?") and can hurt team morale because they never get a "shipped it" moment that feels good.

More to the point: enforcing this rule incentivizes teams to build things in small, shippable components. Nobody wants to be left out of demo day multiple weeks in a row.
