[QvanK]

• Get samples of and test ALL intended components from the chosen retailer before the design phase.
• Breadboard should include ALL components, even the most trivial ones.
• Add badge aesthetics and durability to the design parameters.
• Start the project early, but not too early, otherwise technology catches up.
• Define and document the tooling for the project beforehand.
• Advertise, get sponsors as early as possible.
• Agree on and lock the budget in the startup phase.
• Preferably use standard code and libraries available through the IDE UI.
