Rapid prototypes and MVPs
tested with real users

We build clickable prototypes to test an idea with real users, then a focused MVP with analytics built in. The code is production quality, so your engineers can keep building on it instead of starting again.

What's included

What we
build for you

6 capabilities, delivered by one squad. Use what you need now and add more as you grow.

  • 01

    Product discovery sprint

    Clarify your audience, the jobs they need done, your riskiest assumptions and how success will be measured.

    • Problem framing
    • MVP scope map
  • 02

    Rapid prototyping

    Clickable Figma prototypes of the key flows, which users can try before anything is coded.

    • Clickable flows
    • Usability tests
  • 03

    UX and UI system

    Consistent components and design tokens that make each round of changes faster.

    • Design system
    • Component library
  • 04

    MVP engineering

    One complete workflow, built end to end with CI/CD, that real users can use and your team can extend.

    • Vertical slice
    • Deployable build
  • 05

    Experiments and analytics

    Event tracking and funnels that show where users succeed or drop off, so the next roadmap items rest on evidence.

    • Event taxonomy
    • Funnel metrics
  • 06

    Launch readiness

    Quality checks, onboarding, support flows and a plan for improvements after launch.

    • QA and releases
    • Iteration backlog

Our approach

What usually goes wrong,
and what we do instead

  1. The usual way

    Too many features go in before there's any proof, and timelines slip.

    How we do it

    We list the risks and assumptions first, then cut scope to the smallest product that can test them.

  2. The usual way

    The product ships without analytics, so nobody can learn from real usage.

    How we do it

    Event tracking, usability tests and short rounds of changes are part of the build from the start.

  3. The usual way

    A demo-only prototype that has to be rewritten once funding arrives.

    How we do it

    We build a vertical slice: one real workflow, end to end, with the quality needed to deploy and extend it.

Architecture

How it's
put together

Each layer has a clear job, so the system is easier to secure, test and extend.

  1. Layer 01

    Problem framing

    Agree who the product is for, which assumptions must be true and what you need to learn first.

    • Assumption map
    • Success metrics
    • MVP scope cut
  2. Layer 02

    Rapid prototype

    Clickable flows that show real usability problems and whether people would pay for the product.

    • Figma
    • Clickable flows
    • Usability scripts
    • Iteration backlog
  3. Layer 03

    MVP engineering

    A real, deployable workflow with clean architecture and quality checks, without demo-only shortcuts.

    • Core workflow
    • Sign-in and roles (as needed)
    • CI/CD
    • Deploy pipeline
  4. Layer 04

    Measurement loop

    A defined set of tracked events, funnels and a schedule of experiments, so the roadmap follows evidence.

    • Events and funnels
    • Dashboards
    • Experiment schedule

How we deliver

From first review
to live in production

4 phases, each ending with an output you can review.

  1. Step 1: Problem and MVP scope

    We agree on users, constraints, riskiest assumptions and success metrics, then cut scope to the smallest useful test.

    Output: MVP scope blueprint

  2. Step 2: Prototype and usability testing

    We test clickable flows with users from written scripts, fix what confuses them and test again.

    Output: Tested prototype

  3. Step 3: MVP build and quality checks

    We build a vertical slice with deploy pipelines, QA and a clean architecture that's easy to keep improving.

    Output: Shippable MVP

  4. Step 4: Measure, learn and iterate

    We launch with analytics and dashboards, run experiments and use the results to plan the next release.

    Output: Learning loop in production

Your team

Who works
on it

Specialists join your squad for this work, alongside a delivery lead who keeps you updated.

  • Product strategist

    Defines the riskiest assumptions, MVP scope and success metrics, so the feature list doesn't drift.

    • Hypotheses
    • Scope
    • Metrics
  • UX lead

    Builds flows, prototypes and usability tests, then turns what you learn into better product decisions.

    • Flows
    • Usability testing
    • Design system
  • MVP engineer

    Builds the vertical slice with deploy pipelines, quality checks and an architecture that's easy to maintain.

    • Vertical slice
    • Deployment
    • Quality checks
  • Experimentation lead

    Owns event tracking, funnels, dashboards and the experiment schedule after launch.

    • Events
    • Funnels
    • Experiments

Trust and control

Safe by design,
not by policy alone

  • Scope discipline and cut lines

    We agree what's in, what's out and how decisions get made before the sprint begins.

  • Quality and release checks

    Testing, CI/CD and deploy checks keep each new version safe to release.

  • Measurement from day one

    Events, funnels and dashboards are in place, so every release teaches you something.

  • Tested with real users

    Prototypes are tested with users before larger features are built.

You keep full ownership of the code, configuration and documentation we create, with no vendor lock-in.

Tools and standards

We pick what fits your product and team, not the other way round.

Book a call

The cost depends on how many workflows the first release needs, which platforms it runs on and how much testing you want before the build. After a first call we suggest the right team and give a rough quote range. A clearly scoped MVP can be delivered as a fixed-scope project with agreed milestones.

Planning something like this?

Tell us what you need. We'll suggest the right team and a rough quote range, and an NDA is available before you share anything sensitive.
