Understand the outcome
We agree on what the software needs to do, who will use it and how you will judge whether it works. We discuss the budget and deadline before defining the scope.
Your budget is
a constraint,
not a secret.
Tell us what you need the software to do and what you can spend. A build at $8,000 will have a different scope from one at $80,000. We discuss what fits before work begins.

What ships first.
Typical project scope
$2k–$80kScope agreed before work begins.How we work
A clear start. Working software.
A decision at every step.
Define the smallest useful scope
We write down what the first version will do, what it will leave out and which assumptions need testing. That gives the first sprint a clear scope.
Ship in visible sprints
You review working software at the end of each sprint. Your feedback and any changes in priority shape the next one.
Continue, pause or stop
After each sprint, you can continue, pause for feedback, change direction or stop. There is no minimum commitment.
