First working version

Build a first working version.

For founders with an idea, a manual process, or an early product that needs a focused first version.

What this includes

Start with the goal, then build the useful path.

Each engagement centers on one clear goal. The output is working software plus enough context to keep making good decisions.

  • 01
    A clear first-version goal

    A short written map of the goal, people, and riskiest assumption.

  • 02
    Key screens and the main user path

    Clear states and a shared definition of what done means.

  • 03
    Responsive design and core implementation

    Implementation carried through the core path, not only the happy screenshot.

  • 04
    Demo rhythm, testing, and handoff

    A handoff that explains what shipped and what deliberately did not.
