Every founder we work with has the same fear: that their MVP will take 6 months, cost $150K, and still not be ready for users. We've built a delivery model that eliminates this fear by making progress visible from week two.
| Timeline | Focus | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Architecture Sprint | Define the data model, API contracts, infrastructure topology, and user flows before development begins. |
| Week 2 | First Working Build | Deploy core navigation, authentication, and the primary end-to-end data flow for founder review. |
| Weeks 3–4 | Feature Velocity | Ship features to staging, review progress regularly, and prioritize functionality needed for product validation. |
| Weeks 5–6 | Hardening & Launch | Handle errors and edge cases, improve performance, automate deployment, and prepare the product for real users. |
Week 1: Architecture Sprint
No code in week one. We define the data model, API contracts, infrastructure topology, and user flows. The founder approves a technical specification that serves as the contract for the entire engagement. This document prevents scope creep and misaligned expectations.
Week 2: First Working Build
By Friday of week two, the founder sees a deployed application with core navigation, authentication, and the primary data flow working end-to-end. It's rough, but it's real. This is the moment where abstract discussions become concrete product decisions.
Weeks 3-4: Feature Velocity
This is where the bulk of features land. Daily deploys to staging. The founder reviews progress every 48 hours. We prioritize the features that matter for validation — the ones that will tell you whether users want this product.
Weeks 5-6: Hardening & Launch
Error handling, edge cases, performance optimization, and deployment automation. By the end of week six, the product is ready for real users — not a demo audience, real paying customers.
