To gain a deeper understanding of the client's needs, we conducted a mini-workshop aimed at refining their vision. Together, we filled out the Lean UX Canvas, discussing their goals and objectives. This marked the first day of our collaboration.

Following the workshop, our proactive team embarked on several days of independent work. Based on the initial data, we created a Functional Map for the Full-Scale Solution. Using this map, we estimated the development costs and determined the minimum development team required. Additionally, we highlighted the key benefits of the Full-Scale Solution.

Full Scale Solution Functional Map. Approximate cost of Full-Scale Solution: 338,075 Euros
Minimum implementation time: 2 years

The MVP concept was based on an address book that included social and professional ratings for individuals. Even if a user had a new contact, the application would display their rating if someone had previously evaluated them.

We created a Functional Map, Architecture, and Top-Level Backlog (User Stories) for the MVP.For the MVP, we designed mockups to visualize its features and created a Lite Prototype.

We neatly packaged all these elements into a presentation for the audience and potential angel investors.

The final stage involved creating a highly detailed prototype. Prior to proceeding with the prototype, we developed a design that was simple yet closely resembled the final product.

This means that it wasn't just a series of screens but rather each important element behaved realistically. This provided a more immersive testing experience, surpassing the limitations of prototypes created solely with static screens. Moreover, users could directly test this prototype on their own devices, as most of the user flows requiring verification were implemented.

Before the final presentation to investors, the prototype underwent testing within the team and with stakeholders, as well as the target audience.After the implementation, we created a Pitch Deck and prepared a presentation for investors.

This presentation contains precise calculations for developing a similar MVP, including timelines, technology stack, and the required team size. It enables the client to engage in a more concrete discussion, demonstrating a transparent development process.

In the fourth stage, having secured A-round investments, we organized the development team necessary to kickstart the project.
