Our view

An MVP is not a prototype. A prototype gets thrown away; an MVP is the codebase you keep extending, so its foundations (sign-in, the data model, automated deployment, tests) have to be built properly the first time. What stays small is the scope: we help you cut the feature list to the job that tests your riskiest assumption, and measure whether that job gets done.

What we build

What we build.

Discovery first, to agree the first-release scope and the designs, then delivery in weekly increments.

  1. 01

    A scoped first release

    The smallest set of workflows that tests your riskiest assumption, agreed in writing before anything is built.

  2. 02

    Clickable designs

    The core screens designed and clicked through with the people who will use them, before engineering starts.

  3. 03

    Foundations built to keep

    Sign-in, roles, the data model, automated builds and deployments, and monitoring, set up to last beyond version one.

  4. 04

    Measurement from day one

    Analytics on the job the product exists to do, so the next release is planned from evidence, not opinion.

How we deliver

How a project runs.

  1. Discovery

    Goals, users and constraints, then the first-release scope and clickable designs for the core screens.

  2. Foundations

    Repositories, environments, automated deployments and monitoring, in the first sprint.

  3. Build with weekly demos

    Each core workflow built, tested and shown every week, so the scope can change while change is still cheap.

  4. Launch and learn

    A quiet launch to real users, measured against what discovery agreed, then the next release planned from the results.

What you can count on

  • One job, done end to end
  • A working demo every week
  • Tests and automated deployment from the first sprint
  • Code, IP and accounts owned by you

Ask an engineer

Almost every estimate is people × weeks × rate, plus the services the product runs on. Our MVP cost guide works through a focused B2B web product at about 25 person-weeks and shows how the rate changes the total. We don’t publish a price list: after a short discovery you get a written estimate with the team, timeline and assumptions.

The worked example in our MVP cost guide, a B2B web product with organizations, billing and one integration, is about 25 person-weeks of work. More workflows, a mobile app or difficult integrations add to that; if the feature list won’t fit the time you have, we help you cut it.

Not if the foundations are right. Sign-in, the data model, organizations and roles, tests and automated deployment are built properly in the first release, so later versions extend the same codebase instead of replacing it.

In the scope. Dropping a workflow saves far more than cutting corners on tests or security, which only moves the cost to later, with interest.
