Fixed-scope MVP development

    Starting from scratch or stuck at a vibe-coded MVP? We agree the scope of your first release up front, then design, build and launch it as production-ready software, with clear architecture and weekly demos.

    What is fixed-scope MVP development?

    Fixed-scope MVP development is building a first product release against a written list of features and a definition of done agreed before work starts. Agnotic Technologies scopes that release with founders, builds it with weekly demos and treats any new idea as a change you approve, so the release you planned is the release you get.

    What is fixed is the feature list, the definition of done and the acceptance checks for each feature. What stays open is the order of work inside the release and the backlog for the next one.

    At the end you get a deployed first release, the automated tests that cover it and handover notes on how it is built and run, whether it started as a new idea or a vibe-coded prototype we rebuilt.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    New ideas go on a change list. We estimate each one, and you decide whether it replaces something in the agreed scope or waits for the next release, so the first release stays intact.
