10 Questions to Verify a Software Company’s Real Experience in Kuwait Before You Sign the Contract

<p>Direct answer: don’t choose a software company in Kuwait based on promises or a pitch deck. Ask questions that reveal who actually writes the code, how scope is documented (SOW) and controlled (change requests), how UAT is handled, what you will receive at closure (repo/docs/accounts), and how post-launch support works (warranty/SLA).</p><h2>Why the right questions matter more than any portfolio</h2><p>A weak team can show nice UI but still lack a real delivery process. Questions expose how they work, how they document, how they price changes, and how transparent they are about risk. If answers stay generic, that’s an early red flag.</p><h2>10 questions that verify experience fast</h2><table><thead><tr><th>Question</th><th>What a strong answer means</th><th>Red flag</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1) Who will work on my project (roles/names)?</td><td>Clear structure (PM/Backend/Frontend/QA/DevOps)</td><td>“Our team is ready” only</td></tr><tr><td>2) Is delivery in-house or outsourced?</td><td>Transparency + quality controls</td><td>Avoids the question</td></tr><tr><td>3) How do you document requirements?</td><td>PRD/SOW + formal sign-off</td><td>No documentation</td></tr><tr><td>4) How do you handle scope changes?</td><td>Written change request with cost/time impact</td><td>“We’ll just add it”</td></tr><tr><td>5) How do you plan milestones?</td><td>Stages + definition of done</td><td>Vague dates</td></tr><tr><td>6) What is the UAT process?</td><td>Staging + test cases + acceptance record</td><td>No structured UAT</td></tr><tr><td>7) How do you handle security & roles?</td><td>Roles + audit logs + practices</td><td>Security ignored</td></tr><tr><td>8) What do I receive at closure?</td><td>Handover list: repo/docs/accounts/keys</td><td>“Just an APK”</td></tr><tr><td>9) What is the warranty & support model?</td><td>Warranty + SLA + ticketing</td><td>Support undefined</td></tr><tr><td>10) How do you measure success?</td><td>KPIs/reports/improvements</td><td>No measurement</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>How to use these questions</h2><ol><li>Ask for written answers, not only a call.</li><li>Compare 2–3 vendors using the exact same questions.</li><li>Any “generic” answer becomes a negotiation point or a reason to exclude.</li></ol><h2>Sigma Tech note</h2><p>At Sigma Tech, we prefer documenting these points before signing because it protects both client and delivery team.
