Engineering for your business
SaaS and MVP development
A usable first version of your digital product, built around a clear core workflow. An MVP helps test a hypothesis with users before investing in features that have not been validated.
Problems I can address
- An idea too large to reach its first release.
- A prototype unable to support real users or product evolution.
What the scope can include
- Scope definition and validation hypothesis.
- Working core flow with authentication and persistent data.
- Permissions and account isolation where required.
- Tests, deployment and an evolution backlog.
When to consider it
For founders and companies validating a digital service or turning a workflow into a product.
Possible applications
Potential scope, not completed-project claims:
- Scheduling product that validates a booking journey.
- Subscriber portal with one core function and isolated accounts.
- Task-management MVP for testing a niche with authorised users.
What affects the estimate
Authentication, account isolation, billing, permissions, support and external services change complexity. The estimate should separate the validation journey from recurring infrastructure. Start with the user, essential task and usage signal that would justify the next release.
Limits and decisions
Billing, multi-tenancy and integrations add complexity. External services and recurring costs need assessment before commitment.
The deliverables on this page guide the proposal. Integrations, migration, support, infrastructure and responsibilities are confirmed in the agreed scope.
A usable journey before a broad product
Record the hypothesis, user and main task, separating validation needs from features that can wait. Delivery can include access, persistence, necessary isolation and error recovery. I can prototype and implement verifiable increments. Several markets and many integrations should not precede validation of the core. Billing, tenancy, support and external operation follow requirements and contract.
How the work progresses
- Choose the user, hypothesis and one complete task to validate.
- Cut scope and define data and account boundaries.
- Build the core flow with authentication and isolation tests.
- Release to controlled use and prioritise feedback in the backlog.
FAQ
Before we begin.
Does an MVP need automated billing?
Only when billing is part of the hypothesis. Payments, webhooks and reconciliation need their own handling and can be a later release.
How do you keep subscriber data separate?
Account isolation is enforced on the server and in data access, with cross-account tests. Hiding interface elements is insufficient.
Is this website’s prototype a ready-made SaaS?
No. The operations dashboard demonstrates an interface using fictional data. A SaaS requires its own authentication, persistence, operations and commercial rules.
