Why Shift-Left QA Saves More Budget Than Late-Stage Fixes
The cheapest bug is the one you never ship. Shift-left QA catches defects when they are still easy to fix and explain.

Shift-left QA moves verification into planning, design, and early development instead of waiting for a full release candidate.
This approach reduces rework because the team validates assumptions earlier, before the cost of changing code, data, or architecture climbs.
The result is better delivery rhythm, fewer fire drills, and a more predictable path to launch.
