If you have an idea and you DID start building — what was the actual moment you stopped researching?

A few weeks ago I asked what blocks non-tech folks with an idea from starting to build. The replies were thoughtful — but the question I want to ask now is the inverse.

For people who actually did cross that line — what was the specific moment?

In recent conversations a few different shapes have come up, all describing the same outcome (stopped researching, started shipping) but through very different mechanisms:

• "I stopped treating the first version like it had to become a real startup, and started thinking — can I get even 5 real people interested?"
• "I gave myself permission to ship something so ugly that failure wouldn't even register as failure."
• "I found the right person who pushed me past the edge."
• "I let it fail with real users instead of in my own head."

Same destination. Completely different paths.

If you've been in this spot and got across — which of these maps onto your moment? Or was it something else entirely (a deadline, a specific bad week, a customer ask, running out of money to keep researching)?

Trying to figure out whether the breakthrough has a recurring shape, or whether it's genuinely idiosyncratic for everyone who lives it.
