Budget: ~5%

Timeline: ~1–2 weeks

We start by collaborating with key stakeholders to define goals, success metrics, and the high-level roadmap by drawing on competitor insights and industry experience. No slide decks full of hypotheticals; we focus on concrete outcomes so that every subsequent phase is laser-focused on real needs.

Budget: ~15%

Timeline: ~2–4 weeks

Next, we translate the vision into initial wireframes, user flows, and design concepts. During this period, we clarify user journeys and ensure each proposed feature has a tangible purpose to prevent “feature creep” later on.

Budget: ~5%

Timeline: ~1–2 weeks

Here, we convert sketches into high-fidelity prototypes. We then test them with actual stakeholders and potential end-users. This rapid feedback loop catches major issues before substantial costs are incurred, ensuring we only move forward with validated concepts.

Budget: ~10%

Timeline: ~2–3 weeks

Once the prototype is locked in, we work hand-in-hand with your internal tech teams to finalize the technical blueprint, matching security standards, integration points, and any required compliance.

Only after this stage do we give the green light for major coding efforts, ensuring alignment on what’s being built, why it’s being built, and how it fits into your existing ecosystem. At this checkpoint—before investing the bulk of the budget—we have a validated prototype, a clear architectural plan, and stakeholder consensus. This significantly reduces risk, as the “real” coding only begins once everyone is on the same page.

Budget: ~65%

Timeline: ~8–12+ weeks (varies by project scope)

With the vision and architecture in place, we begin development. We operate in sprint cycles, refining wireframes, crafting epics and user stories, and conducting regular demos to keep feedback flowing. By flagging issues early in each sprint, we ensure timely course-correction. Once launched, we watch user behavior and gather data to guide ongoing enhancements. Because we “build light,” there’s always room to adapt and scale as your needs grow, rather than overengineering on day one.

Cost Control: Most of the budget is reserved for a time when everyone knows exactly what’s being built.

High-Fidelity Alignment: Prototypes, not static decks, drive real buy-in and refine product features early.

Collaborative: Frequent demos and agile sprints keep internal teams involved, surfacing issues sooner rather than later.

Flexible Growth: The final product is “just right” for launch and then grows through data-informed iterations, minimizing waste.

This blend of budget discipline, iterative design, and user-centric validation helps deliver solutions that are truly aligned with your organization’s goals: on time and on budget.
