MVP scoping
A written spec covering the one job the product does, the screens required, and what is deliberately left out of version one.

From MVP to subscriptions · Issue #09
We take SaaS products from a sketched idea to a system that can take a card payment, onboard a customer and survive its first support ticket — usually in eight to fourteen weeks.
We usually reply within one business day. No obligation, no sales sequence.
At a glance
A SaaS product is not a web app with a login. The hard parts are tenancy, permissions, billing edge cases, onboarding and the operational work nobody demos: password resets, failed payments, data exports and deleting an account properly.
We build the whole slice — marketing site, authentication, tenant isolation, admin console, subscription billing and deployment — so you launch with something you can charge for instead of a prototype you have to rebuild.
The first release is deliberately narrow. We help you cut the roadmap to the one workflow a customer will pay for, ship it, and keep the architecture open for the features that follow.
Every engagement is scoped to your situation, but this is the shape most of them take.
A written spec covering the one job the product does, the screens required, and what is deliberately left out of version one.
Row-level tenant isolation, per-tenant settings and a data model that survives your first enterprise security questionnaire.
Owner, admin and member roles, invitations, audit trails and account handover for your customers' own teams.
Stripe or Razorpay plans, trials, upgrades, dunning and invoices — including the webhook handling most builds get wrong.
Usage analytics for customers and a support console for your team, with exports that make finance happy.
Containerised environments, backups, error tracking and uptime alerts in place before the first paying customer arrives.
The difference
Because the cheapest quote is usually an estimate of the easy version. These are the things we do that make the second year cheaper than the first.
Password reset, email deliverability, failed payment recovery and account deletion are in scope from day one, because they are what breaks after launch.
Weekly demos and a visible board. You can reprioritise between milestones instead of waiting for a big-bang reveal.
You own the repository, cloud account, domain and payment account. We are a contractor, not a landlord.
The architecture leaves room for teams, SSO and API access — the three requests every SaaS gets within a year.
Real products with real screenshots, the challenge, the stack and the outcome.
An all-in-one CRM and ERP for real-estate teams: properties, leads, appointments, attendance, payroll and WhatsApp updates, on web and mobile.
A retrieval-augmented proposal generator that drafts tailored RFP responses from a company's own past proposals and client requirements.
The things clients ask us most often at this stage. If yours is not here, email and we will answer personally.
A single-workflow MVP typically starts around USD 8,000 and commonly lands between USD 12,000 and USD 35,000 depending on integrations and complexity. We quote fixed scope after a discovery session, so the number does not drift.
Eight to fourteen weeks for authentication, one core workflow, billing and an admin console. Weekly milestones make progress visible and let you cut scope early if the budget tightens.
Yes. Pricing pages, signup flows, blog and SEO structure are part of most launches. Building them alongside the product keeps branding and onboarding consistent.
Yes. We start with an audit of architecture, dependencies, billing and deployment, then agree a stabilisation sprint before adding features. We will flag anything that needs rebuilding rather than patching.
You do. Repositories, cloud accounts, domains and payment accounts are created in your name. Handover includes environment documentation and a deployment runbook.
Most clients move to a monthly retainer for feature work, support and infrastructure care. You can also hire a dedicated squad if you are building continuously.
Tell us what you want to build. We will reply within one business day with honest advice and a clear next step — no pressure, no jargon.
