What each length looks like, day by day.

The same six steps for every build. Pick a length to see how the days break down.

  1. 01Tell us the idea

    Answer a few plain-English questions. No specification document, no technical vocabulary. You get: Your MVP brief.

    Day 0

  2. 02We cut the noise

    One call to find the core of the product. You get a written scope and a fixed price before any work starts. You get: Written scope + fixed price.

    Days 1–2

  3. 03We design the core

    User flow first, then real screens for the journey that matters. You approve the direction before we build. You get: Clickable design.

    Days 2–4

  4. 04We build

    Working software on a private preview link early, with a short written update every working day. You get: Working preview app.

    Days 4–12

  5. 05You test

    Put it in front of real people. We fix what gets in their way and tighten what they actually use. You get: Feedback round + fixes.

    Days 11–13

  6. 06We ship

    Production launch on accounts in your name, a handover, and fixes included after launch. You get: Live product.

    Day 14

Start from what you’re building

  • AI Agents

    A focused single-job agent fits a 14-Day Build. Agents that act across several tools usually need the 21-Day Launch.

    Usually 21-Day Launch

  • Business Automation

    One workflow with a couple of integrations fits a 7-Day Sprint. A connected set of workflows with approvals and a dashboard fits the 14-Day Build.

    Usually 14-Day Build

  • SaaS Products

    A single-workflow SaaS fits the 14-Day Build. Multi-role products with billing tiers fit the 21-Day Launch.

    Usually 14-Day Build

  • Web Applications

    Single-flow apps fit the 7-Day Sprint. Most products with accounts, admin and integrations fit the 14-Day Build.

    Usually 14-Day Build

  • Mobile Applications

    Mobile MVPs fit the 21-Day Launch, including TestFlight and Play testing builds and store submission support.

    Usually 21-Day Launch

  • Internal Tools

    A focused admin panel or dashboard fits the 7-Day Sprint. Tools with approvals, roles and several data sources fit the 14-Day Build.

    Usually 7-Day Sprint

  • Prototype to Production

    Hardening one core flow fits the 7-Day Sprint. A prototype that also needs new features or a new data model fits the 14-Day Build.

    Usually 7-Day Sprint

Lower than most studios, for reasons you can check.

It isn’t a discount or a teaser rate. We removed the cost that doesn’t make your product better.

  • A small senior team

    The people who scope your product build it. No account managers, no handoffs, no padding.

  • Foundations we don't rebuild

    Sign-in, billing, admin, deployment and monitoring start from proven, production-grade building blocks.

  • AI-assisted engineering

    We use AI to move faster on routine code. Every line is still reviewed and owned by an engineer.

  • Ruthless scope

    We build what proves the idea. Everything else goes on a written list for the next version.

How paying, owning and running it works

Payment
50% to start. 50% at launch. Fixed price in USD, agreed in your written scope.
Ownership
Your code lives in a repository in your name from day one. Full IP is assigned to you on final payment.
Running costs
Hosting, AI usage and paid APIs run on accounts in your name. You pay those providers directly for what you use.
After launch
7-Day Sprint: 7 days of post-launch fixes. 14-Day Build: 14 days of post-launch fixes. 21-Day Launch: 14 days of post-launch fixes.

On launch day, you get the keys to all of it.

Pricing questions

Not sure which package fits? Start a brief and we’ll recommend one in your written scope.

Can something useful really be built in seven days?

Yes — if it is focused. A 7-Day Sprint builds one core workflow: the part that tells you whether people want this. We agree that scope in writing before we start, so the week goes into building the right thing well, not a rushed version of everything.

What if you miss launch day?

The launch date is written into your scope before we start, and you see progress every working day, so a slip never arrives as a surprise. If something threatens the date, you hear about it that day, with the reason and your options: move a feature to the change list, or move the date. The final 50% isn't due until the product launches.

What if my idea is bigger than that?

Most big ideas have a small core worth testing first, and we will help you find it. If the product genuinely needs more, the 21-Day Launch covers fuller products, and anything beyond that is scoped as a custom build with a fixed price for each phase.

Do I own the code?

Yes. The code lives in a repository in your name from day one, and full intellectual property is assigned to you on final payment. Hosting and third-party services run on your own accounts. No lock-in and no licence fees to us.

What happens after launch?

Fixes are included for 14 days after launch (7 days on the 7-Day Sprint). After that you can keep building with us on a monthly plan, take the product in-house, or hand it to another team with our documentation.

How can a real MVP cost $2,700?

Because we remove cost that doesn't make your product better: account managers, rebuilt foundations, open-ended scope. A small senior team, proven building blocks and AI-assisted engineering let us quote a fixed price that stays fixed.

What stops the scope from growing — and the price with it?

The written scope. New ideas during the build go on a change list: we swap them for something of equal size, or plan them for after launch with a price agreed first. Nothing is added to your invoice without your approval.
