Research scope & testing evidence
How we would evaluate it
v0 is a useful starting point when an interface needs to become code someone will maintain. Its Vercel path and documented stack integrations make the handoff to a web developer part of the decision. Treat a good-looking preview as the beginning: check data access, error states, keyboard use and what happens after a failed request. A founder can use it to make a product idea concrete, but somebody still owns production behaviour. Prefer it when you can review the generated project and keep its conventions aligned with the rest of your codebase.
