This is not how it works in real life. Contracts are made to the lowest bidder, there are promises to keep or heads will roll. By iteration 10, your customer is fuming that the half baked idea has more exceptions than handled scenarios and the finger pointing begins. Also, forget about architecture, performance, security and other pesky little problems. I have never seen it play out differently.

The biggest problem is that the person footing the bill does not care about your story points or retrospective- and I don't blame them for that
