Many teams talk about doing an ASIC long before they know whether an ASIC is actually feasible. In practice, ASIC feasibility is not a yes/no question.
It is a balance of economics, risk, schedule, and technical reality.

Deciding whether to build an ASIC is rarely a clear yes or no. Most teams arrive at the question gradually. FPGA costs rise. Power budgets tighten. Schedules slip. Supply risks appear. At some point, staying on the current platform feels increasingly uncomfortable — but committing to custom silicon feels risky.

Designing a product is one thing. Supporting it for ten years is another.
Teams building industrial, medical, infrastructure, or regulated products often discover that the hardest problems do not appear in year one. They appear in year five, seven, or nine — long after the original design decisions were made.

For startups, ASIC often feels like a forbidden topic.
Too expensive. Too risky. Too slow. Something only big companies with massive budgets can afford.
That perception is outdated — but the opposite mistake is just as dangerous.
Some startups wait far too long to consider ASIC. Others
