Your budget is a constraint, not a secret.
Most software proposals hide the budget conversation until the end. We start there — because what is realistic at $8,000 is different from what is realistic at $80,000. You set the number. We tell you what is possible.
Typical project scope: $2k–$80k
How we work
Understand the outcome
We start with what the software needs to do, not a feature list. We ask the uncomfortable questions early — about budget, urgency, and what "done" actually looks like.
Define the smallest useful scope
We identify the version that proves the product works before we build anything the user does not need yet. The result is a written build map, not a vague proposal.
Ship in visible sprints
Work is delivered in short, demonstrable cycles. You see working software regularly, not a progress report. If priorities shift, we adjust the next sprint.
Continue, pause or stop
No lock-in. After each sprint, you decide whether to continue, pause for feedback, or take the work in a different direction.
The commercial model
Budget-first
You set the outcome and the budget. We define the scope that fits. No hidden phases, no bait pricing.
Sprint delivery
Work is delivered in short, demonstrable cycles. You see the product taking shape, not a Gantt chart.
No lock-in
After each sprint, you decide: continue, pause for feedback, change direction, or stop. There is no minimum commitment.
Scope grows with evidence
More capability is added when the product earns it — not because a requirements document written six months ago said so.
Questions prospects ask
Can Ootaboo work with a fixed budget?
Yes. You set the budget and the outcome. We define what is realistically achievable within it.
Can Ootaboo improve an existing product?
Yes. We offer codebase audits, UX restructuring, performance work, reliability hardening, and product simplification.
Can a project begin with one sprint?
Yes. Many engagements start with a single scoped sprint. There is no minimum commitment.
Does Ootaboo only build large platforms?
No. We build focused websites, internal tools, and smaller systems as well as complex platforms. The approach scales to the problem.
What happens if priorities change?
We adjust. The next sprint reflects the current priority — not a contract written months ago.
Does Ootaboo work with clients across Australia?
Yes. We are based in Australia and work with clients nationally, primarily remote.
What should I bring to the first call?
The problem, the budget, and whatever you have — a napkin sketch, a Figma file, a broken prototype, or just a clear sentence.
Bring your budget and the outcome.
The first call is a straight conversation — not a pitch. We will tell you honestly what is realistic at your number.
