How much does it cost to develop an MVP?

Discovery is $2,500 and settles what the prototype has to prove; the build starts from $5,000. The point of splitting them is that most ideas change shape in the first stage, and paying for a build before that is paying to build the wrong thing quickly.

What is an MVP here, exactly?

A working prototype plus a market check: enough of the product to put in front of real users, and enough evidence to say whether the demand behind it exists. Not a design mockup and not a landing page with a waiting list.

How long does it take?

Weeks. The whole argument for testing an idea before funding it collapses if the test takes as long as the build, so anything that cannot be answered in weeks gets narrowed until it can.

What if the idea does not hold up?

Then you have the answer for the price of a few weeks instead of a year, which is the cheap version of that outcome. Discovery is refunded in full when it ends in do not build.

All service tracks

Test the idea before you commit the budget

Test a new idea before you commit budget to it: a working prototype and a demand check, in weeks rather than after a year of building.

Fee: $2,500
Length: 1–2wks

What the engagement covers

Scope of work4

01MVP and Rapid PrototypingThe smallest version real users can actually try, built to answer one question rather than to be finished.
02Technology ResearchExplore the latest tech innovations.
03Pilot ProgramsTest solutions in a safe, controlled way.
04Supply Chain IntelligencePredict demand and manage inventory better.

What you get out of it

Test ideas in weeks, not quarters
Prototypes with clear go/no-go
Pilots before full rollout
Demand forecasting and inventory optimization

weeks of measuring

the arithmetic

it adds up · we build
it does not · money back

Both exits are real. Only one of them is paid for.

Two ways to find out whether the demand is there

You can check an idea yourself, and that is the right route once the question is narrow. The difference is how many weeks the narrowing takes.

Do it yourself

Write down the one question the prototype has to answer, and throw out everything that does not answer it
Build the smallest version somebody can actually use, rather than one you can show on a slide
Find real users rather than acquaintances, and watch what they do rather than what they say
And name in advance the signal you will accept as the idea not working

Discovery Sprint

Hand it to us

Weeks instead of a year: anything weeks cannot answer, we shrink until they can
A prototype and the demand data it produced, not a mock-up and not a landing page with a waiting list
The Discovery fee back in full when the end of it is a decision not to build

Not for you if

Where this is the wrong buy3

The idea is already approved and you need somebody to build it. Checking belongs before approval; after it this is just assembly.
The question cannot be narrowed to one. We shrink the check until weeks can answer it, and a question that will not shrink costs a year.
What you want is a landing page with a waiting list. That is cheaper and faster than us, and sometimes it is the right answer.

Thirty minutes on one process from this track: which steps cost you most, what we would take on first, and whether the arithmetic closes. The sprint that follows is refunded in full if it does not.
