ROVQIX builds minimum viable products in 8 to 14 weeks: one core workflow built properly, plus signup, billing and the support tooling needed to serve a real paying customer. Scope is deliberately narrow so you learn from the market rather than from a roadmap.
The purpose of an MVP is to be wrong quickly and cheaply. Most fail at that because they take nine months and include everything anyone suggested.
Idea to launch
Billing from day one
Agreed upfront
Full IP, no equity
We actively cut features. The MVP contains the one workflow your value proposition depends on, and little else.
Before code, a prototype you can put in front of prospective customers — the cheapest possible way to be wrong.
Stripe subscriptions from launch, because free pilots teach you far less than someone entering a card.
Analytics on the activation funnel so you learn where people drop off rather than guessing after launch.
Admin views and manual overrides so you can serve early customers without running database queries.
A conventional stack with documented decisions, so your first engineering hire inherits something workable.
| Include | Exclude | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One core workflow | Adjacent workflows | You are testing one hypothesis |
| Signup and billing | Enterprise SSO | Payment is the real signal |
| Basic roles | Granular permissions | Add when a customer needs it |
| Manual admin tools | Automated everything | Manual scales fine to 50 customers |
| Email notifications | Notification centre | Email is enough at this stage |
| Analytics on activation | A BI dashboard | You need one funnel, not a warehouse |
Then it did its job for a fraction of what finding out later would have cost. That is a real outcome and we would rather you reach it in three months than eighteen.
Practically: no annual contract, 30 days notice, everything in your accounts, and a conventional stack that can be repurposed for a pivot rather than thrown away.
Typically $15,000 to $45,000 over 8 to 14 weeks. A prototype sprint alone is $3,000 to $6,000 and is often the right first step if the concept is still moving.
No. Fixed paid engagements only. It keeps our advice honest — particularly the advice to build less than you asked for.
Indirectly. A working product with real users is the strongest material for a raise. We do not write decks or make introductions, and we will not claim otherwise.
Then we usually add velocity rather than replacing anyone: they own core product decisions while we build defined areas alongside them. Shared repository, shared review.
Indicative ranges in USD. Every engagement is quoted to a written scope before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
$3,000 – $6,000
2–3 weeks
Best for: Testing the idea before building it
$15,000 – $45,000
8–14 weeks
Best for: A product real customers can buy
from $3,500 / month
Ongoing
Best for: Iterating on what you learn
How we think about this work, in more depth.
MVP development
A 30-minute call, then a written proposal with scope, price and timeline within two to three working days. No retainer required to get a real number, and no obligation if the answer is that we are not the right fit.
