From concept to production MVP in six weeks
A funded fintech needed a customer-facing product live before their next board meeting. Traditional agency quotes: 5–6 months. We shipped in six weeks.
The challenge
The client had a validated concept, a deadline set by their board, and quotes from two agencies for a five-to-six-month build. The MVP scope was clear: customer onboarding with KYC, a dashboard, and integrations with two external services.
The risk was not complexity — it was calendar. Every traditional quote put launch after the board meeting.
The approach
Scoped to the outcome, not the feature list
In one working session we cut the scope to what the board actually needed to see: real customers onboarding end to end. Everything else became a fast follow.
Agents on the boilerplate, humans on the edges
AI agents generated the scaffolding, API clients, and test suites while our engineers designed the KYC flow, the data model, and the integration architecture — the parts where mistakes are expensive.
Weekly production deploys from week one
The client watched the product grow in a live staging environment, redirecting course weekly instead of discovering drift at a month-three demo.
The outcome
The MVP went live in week six, ahead of the board meeting. Real customers completed onboarding in the first week after launch.
The client's own engineers took over the codebase after handover — the documentation and test coverage generated alongside development meant ramp-up took days, not weeks.
“We had budgeted half a year and braced for the board conversation about missing it. Instead we demoed a live product with real users in it.”
