FAQs

• Why can’t I just build the whole product from day one?

  Because time, money, and attention are limited super‑powers. An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) lets you ship the core value fast, learn what real users truly care about, and avoid sinking months of budget into features nobody ends up touching. Think of it as building the engine first, not the leather seats and sunroof.

• Will my MVP feel ‘unfinished’ to customers?

  Done right, no. An MVP should feel focused, not flimsy. We polish the must‑have flows, give the UI a clean coat of paint, and leave optional extras for later. Users see a purpose‑built tool that solves one problem brilliantly—instead of a clunky Swiss‑army knife that solves nothing well.

• How long does a typical MVP take to build?

  Most fall in the 4–6 week window: roughly one week of scoping and design, two to three weeks of iterative build‑and‑test, then a short polish phase. Complex AI or deep integrations push the timeline out; dead‑simple web apps can be quicker. The goal is measured in learning speed, not total lines of code.

• What drives the cost more—the tech stack or the feature list?

  Feature list, hands down. The stack (React, Vue, Supabase, etc.) is the toolkit; your must‑haves determine effort. Integrations, custom logic, fancy UI interactions, or compliance requirements (HIPAA, GDPR) all add hours. Trimming just one “nice‑to‑have” feature can save weeks of dev time—and a chunk of your budget.

• After launch, do I need to throw the MVP away and start over?

  Nope. A well‑architected MVP is the foundation of the full product. We write clean, extendable code, so you can layer on features, redesign screens, or scale server resources without a rewrite. Think renovation, not demolition—your MVP becomes version 1.1, 1.2, and beyond.
