# Your product in users’ hands within six weeks

> **Founders and early-stage startups:** You get something real to test, built fast enough that you still have runway left when the answer arrives.

## Does any of this sound familiar?

- The quotes you have been given run six months and half your runway
- You will not know if the idea holds until someone actually uses it
- Developers want a spec you cannot write yet
- Every week without an answer costs you negotiating position

## How we solve it

- **We build the smallest thing that proves something.** We build the smallest thing that tests your riskiest assumption. The rest waits until you know more.
- **Real code you can build on.** What you get can be built on. No restart from zero when the prototype turns out to work.
- **An honest read.** You get our honest read on what the data says, while changing direction is still cheap.

## Common questions

### We have no spec — can we still start?

Yes, and that is the usual situation. Framing the problem and the riskiest assumption is the first piece of work. A spec written too early locks down the wrong things.

### What is the smallest thing you build?

The smallest thing that genuinely tests your riskiest assumption. Everything else waits until you know more. A bounded build starts at €4,200 and takes one to two weeks.

### Do we keep the code if we change direction?

Yes. Everything sits in your repository from day one. Change direction and you keep the foundation, and it is built to carry the next version of the product.

### Can you take payment in equity?

Sometimes. Part of the fee can be replaced with equity or a revenue share over a bounded period. It is assessed case by case and rests on us believing in the business.

### How quickly can we get something into users’ hands?

Six weeks for a working product, two weeks for a prototype testing a single hypothesis. The timeline is in the proposal before you commit.

### What do you do if the data says the idea does not hold?

Say so, while changing direction is still cheap. You are paying for an honest read of what happened, and that is worth more than a delivery that confirms what you hoped for.
