ENGAGEMENT MODEL / 01
MVP Fast-Track
From idea to a live product in 8–12 weeks. One team, one scope, a working demo every week.
- Duration

- Budget
- Fixed scope, fixed price
- Output
- Live product, source code, handover docs
MVP Fast-Track is a single uninterrupted sprint built to put an idea in front of real users as quickly as possible. We cut the scope down to one core flow on day one: whichever flow proves the product's reason to exist, the first release does that one completely.
Design and engineering run in parallel. As the screen flows settle, the codebase goes up alongside them, so engineering doesn't start from zero the day design finishes. Every week closes with a clickable build running on real data — a product, not a slide deck.
Most importantly, what we hand over isn't a prototype you throw away. Tests, error tracking, authorisation, and the deployment pipeline are in place from the first week. If the MVP lands, you keep building on the same codebase; if it doesn't, you walk away with real usage data explaining why.
What's included
Scope cut and product framing
We reduce the idea to a single core flow and write everything outside the first release into an explicit next-release list.
Clickable interface design
Screen flows built with real content and agreed on before a line of production code is written.
Production-grade codebase
Type-safe, tested, documented. Built the same way whether we keep working on it or your team takes over.
AI features
Search, summarisation, classification, assistants — wherever the product genuinely needs them, with evaluation criteria attached.
Analytics and a feedback loop
The metric you'll watch after launch is decided up front; event tracking and dashboards ship with the product.
Launch and handover
Deployment pipeline, environment config, monitoring, and a handover session. All source code is yours.
Who it's for
The right model when
- You need to be in front of real users within a quarter
- A funding round or internal approval needs a working product
- You're testing a new line of business inside an existing company
- One product owner can decide and give the project weekly time
Another model fits better when
- The scope isn't settled and needs a discovery phase first
- You're replacing a system that's already live
- Long regulatory or certification cycles are involved
- What you actually need is ongoing engineering capacity

FAQ
About MVP Fast-Track
Yes, as long as scope stays on one core flow. What holds the timeline isn't team size, it's scope discipline — which is why week one is spent cutting scope and everything left out goes on a written list.
Yes. It's written to the same standards we use on long-term work: type safety, tests, a release pipeline, and documentation from day one. We don't treat an MVP as a prototype to be discarded.
You do. The repository is opened in your account on day one and all IP stays with you. It's handed over with the infrastructure access at the handover session.
It can, on a swap basis: if something new comes in, something of similar size goes out. That keeps the date and the budget fixed.
Two options: book the team for a defined next release under On-Demand Projects, or move to a Dedicated Product Team and keep developing continuously.
