THE TRAP

## Most MVPs fail with a fine idea. They fail because they shipped seventeen features when they needed two.

We turn down work we can't scope to eight weeks. Then we build the smallest version that earns the right to be expanded.

PROCESS · 08 WEEKS

## The eight-week plan,  
written down.

WK 01

#### Scope & discovery

Two senior engineers on-site. We name the smallest valuable thing to ship and capture it as a written brief. Out: anything bigger than eight weeks.

WK 02–06

#### Build

Code, infra, auth, billing, the actual product. Direct integrations against your stack. Deploys to staging every Friday.

WK 07

#### User validation

10 real users in the product. Behavior eval suite, not just unit tests. Dashboards your team will open on Monday morning.

WK 08

#### Handoff

A week of pairing. We leave you the code, the runbook, the deploy pipeline, the eval suite. 90-day warranty on regressions.

◆ SIX SHAPES WE'VE SHIPPED

## Whatever shape your MVP takes.

### B2B SaaS MVP

Auth, billing, multi-tenant data model, admin tooling. The whole 'before-customers' stack so day-one feels like day-thirty.

### Marketplace MVP

Two-sided onboarding, search, listings, transactions, reviews. Identity and trust baked in from the first commit.

### Mobile MVP

iOS + Android via React Native or Expo. Offline-first where it matters. Native polish where your users will look.

### AI-native MVP

LLM-powered product feature wrapped in eval, observability, and a kill switch. Deterministic logic for the critical paths.

### Internal tool MVP

The boring, high-leverage build. Ops dashboards, custom CRMs, workflow automation that replaces three SaaS subs.

### Consumer-facing MVP

Public-facing product with brand, marketing site, and a working freemium funnel. Not a Figma demo.

HANDOFF · DAY 56

## What you walk away with.

-   ✓ Full source code in your repo, day fifty-six
