Scoping & discovery
We define what the MVP actually is: not the full vision, but the minimum set of functionality to validate the core bet.
No dead-end architecture
Even MVPs deserve good structure. We avoid shortcuts that block you from scaling, and we name the ones we skip so you know what you are deferring.
Fixed-scope delivery
Clear deliverables, timeline, and cost upfront. No billing surprises, no "it turned out to be more complex" at week 6.
Post-MVP handoff brief
At launch we deliver a written brief: what the data validated, what it did not, and the recommended next build increment. Your team can continue with us or take it elsewhere.
Prototype-to-production path
Already built with Lovable, Bolt, v0, or Cursor? We audit the codebase, assess what to keep, refactor, or rebuild and take it to production. No forced rewrite.
Already have an AI-built MVP?
If you built with Lovable, Bolt, v0, or Cursor, start with the Codebase Diagnostic. Fixed price, 5–7 days, written verdict: keep, refactor, or rebuild.
How we engage
The engagement process
Scoping workshop
Half-day session to define the MVP scope: what is the riskiest assumption to validate, what is the minimum feature set to test it, and what does done look like.
Architecture spike
We prototype the highest-risk technical decisions to validate feasibility before committing to the build. This surfaces blockers early when they are cheap to resolve.
Working software every week
Scope locked per sprint, analytics and feedback collection instrumented from day one. You test working software every week, not mockups.
Launch & next-step brief
Production deployment plus a written brief: what was validated, what was not, and the recommended next build increment.
We define the MVP scope with you
Most founders over-scope their MVP. We run a structured scoping workshop to cut scope to the essential validation experiment, which means you ship faster and learn sooner.
Architecture that survives traction
We have seen MVPs die because the architecture could not handle 10x users or could not be extended without a rewrite. We make conscious architecture decisions even in MVP builds.
Web3 + AI in the MVP stack
If your MVP needs blockchain, wallet authentication, smart contracts, or AI features, we scope and build all of it. No need to coordinate multiple specialist shops.

Questions we hear often
Specific questions? Book a 30-minute discovery call. No commitment, just honest answers.
Get in touchA prototype is for internal validation and learning, often throw-away code. An MVP is production-ready (real auth, real data persistence, real error handling) but scoped to the minimum feature set. We build MVPs, not prototypes, because you need real user behaviour data.
Yes, and this is one of our most common engagements. Whether you built with Bolt, Lovable, v0, Cursor, or any other AI-assisted tool, we start with a codebase audit to assess what is keepable, what needs to be rewritten, and where the architecture risks are. You get a written assessment before we commit to any timeline or cost.
We deliver a post-MVP brief alongside the launch: what the data says, what to build next, and a recommended phasing plan. You can continue with us or take the codebase to another team. We hand it off clean with documentation.
