The 20-day MVP
Working software in 20 business days. Fixed price. Fixed scope.
Pick the workflow that hurts most — QA records, client reporting, approvals, audit evidence. In 20 business days your team will be using a working version of the fix, so you see the value before you commit to anything bigger.
In short
A Think Then Create MVP is a fixed-price, fixed-scope engagement that takes one high-value workflow from discovery to working software in 20 business days. It covers discovery, mock-ups you sign off, and four build sprints with a review each week. You own the software, and there's no lock-in afterwards.
How it works
Twenty days, four milestones.
Days 1–5
01. Discovery & mock-ups
We map the workflow as it really runs today, agree the fixed scope, and show you mock-ups of the solution. You sign them off before we build.
Days 6–20
02. Four build sprints
We build in short sprints and review progress with you every week, so you always know exactly where things stand.
Day 20
03. Working software
Your team starts using a working version of the fix — connected to the systems you already use.
After that
04. You decide
Refine it, extend it to the next workflow, or stop. No lock-in, and you own the software either way.
What's included
Everything you need to reach working software.
- ✓Discovery workshops with the people who do the work
- ✓Mock-ups signed off before any build starts
- ✓Four development sprints with a weekly review
- ✓Integration with the systems you already use
- ✓A working MVP your team can use from day 20
Why fixed price
You know the cost and the scope before we start.
Most software projects run late and over budget because the scope keeps moving. We do the opposite: we agree exactly what will be built, fix the price, and hold the scope for the 20 days.
If discovery shows the idea needs more than 20 days, we'll tell you before the build starts, and agree a smaller first slice.
After the MVP, we can host and support what we build, so you're not left with software nobody maintains.
