MVP Blueprint
In under 30 days, you get a complete technical blueprint — spec, schema, wireframes, and build-ready documentation — so your MVP gets built right the first time.
The hard truth about building software
Every week, founders hand vague ideas to developers — and wonder why the build costs triple, takes twice as long, and still doesn’t work.
Without a spec, developers interpret your vision their way. Every revision costs time and money you didn’t budget for.
Bad tech decisions made early are obscenely expensive to fix later. Rewrites kill startups.
Building the wrong thing — or building the right thing wrong — costs you your runway, your momentum, and sometimes your company.
Not planning is always more expensive than planning.
After 25 years and hundreds of builds, we can guarantee that.
What you walk away with
Your Blueprint is a complete, build-ready technical package. Hand it to any development team or bring it back to us — either way, building starts immediately.
A detailed written specification describing every feature, user flow, and business rule. No ambiguity. No assumptions. Every screen, every state, every edge case documented.
Every table, field, relationship, and constraint mapped out. Your data model designed by engineers who’ve scaled databases to half a million users.
Every API endpoint your product needs — defined, documented, and ready to build. GraphQL queries and mutations specified with input/output types.
Key screens wireframed for clarity. User stories that describe exactly who does what and why. Enough visual direction that your team never asks “what did you mean?”
Don’t know exactly what you need yet? That’s the point. Every Blueprint starts with deep discovery — interviews, market validation, and idea refinement — so we spec the right thing, not just the first thing.
“I’ve watched founders burn through $200K building the wrong thing. Every single time, the root cause was the same: they skipped the plan.”
The process
1–2 calls per week. Under 30 days. You stay in the loop at every step.
Week 1
We dig into your idea, your users, and your market. Stakeholder interviews. Competitive landscape. We pressure-test the concept and make sure you’re building something worth building.
Week 2
Database schema design. API endpoint mapping. System architecture decisions locked in. We define the technical foundation your product will run on — built on a stack that’s been proven at scale.
Week 3
The full written specification comes together. Key screens get wireframed. User stories documented. Every feature described in enough detail that there’s zero room for interpretation.
Week 4
Final review together. Refinements locked in. You receive the complete Blueprint package — ready to hand to any dev team, send to agencies for accurate quotes, or bring back to us for the build.
The technology
Your Blueprint is designed around Nestled — our production stack refined over a decade, built on NestJS and battle-tested in apps with 500K+ users and $1M+ in annual revenue.
