Have a product idea?

Boosted MVP

Have a product idea but are unsure where to start? Describe the product, its users and the problem it should solve. Within 3 business days, an expert from our team will prepare an initial written assessment covering the proposed first-release scope, key risks, and an indicative timeline and budget range. It is free and carries no obligation.

Written response within 3 business days. No mandatory call and no obligation.

The challenge

When should you start with a scope assessment?

At the start, the hardest part is separating essential capabilities from features that only increase cost and delivery time. An initial scope assessment helps organise assumptions, identify risks and choose the next step before product development begins. It does not replace market validation or a full technical analysis - it provides a concrete basis for the next decision.

Technical details and delivery approach

At the start, the hardest part is separating essential capabilities from features that only increase cost and delivery time. A scope assessment organises the assumptions and helps you choose the next step before product development begins.

What happens after the assessment

You can continue validation, prepare a prototype or move into MVP development. Build with us, choose another team or shelve the project. After launch, we can continue development and maintenance as your external IT team. If the scope goes beyond an MVP from the outset, see custom systems.

What we deliver
  • An initial first-release scope: what is essential and what can wait
  • The key assumptions and risks worth checking before development begins
  • An indicative timeline and budget range, refined once requirements are clarified
  • A recommended next step: further validation, a prototype, an MVP or deeper analysis
  • A written response with no mandatory call and no obligation to work with us
  • If we build together: iterative delivery with regular demos and ongoing scope control
  • After launch, the same team can take over ongoing development and maintenance
Common scenarios

When a scope assessment supports the decision

Two common moments when a technical perspective can reduce uncertainty before work begins.

Scenario 01

A product idea without a technical team

A founder understands the market and customer problem but has no technical team to limit the first release and identify technical risks.

How it works
  1. Description of the product, its users and the problem it should solve
  2. A technical expert assesses MVP scope, assumptions and technical risks
  3. A written response with priorities and an indicative timeline and budget range
  4. Decision: further validation, a prototype, building with us or choosing another team
The founder gets a concrete starting point without mistaking a technical assessment for proof of market demand.
Scenario 02

An existing product and a new feature

A company wants to extend an existing product but first needs to define the smallest sensible scope and understand the impact on the current system.

How it works
  1. Description of the current product, technology stack and expected outcome
  2. An initial assessment of dependencies, integration risks and first-stage scope
  3. A recommended build order and indicative budget range
  4. Requirements refinement before a quote and delivery start
The company can compare the cost, risk and value of the first stage before deciding to build.
Process

How does the MVP scope assessment work?

You describe the product, users and problem

In a short form, explain who the product is for, what problem it solves, what has already been tested, and the timeline and budget you are considering.

An expert assesses scope and risks

We review the assumptions, propose a first-release scope and identify issues worth checking before development begins. If the description is not enough for a reliable assessment, we will contact you by email to clarify the key points.

You receive written direction

You receive priorities, key risks, an indicative timeline and budget range, and a recommended next step.

You choose what happens next

Validate further, build with us, choose another team or shelve the project. The assessment carries no obligation.

Deployment outcomes

What do you receive before development begins?

  • An initial first-release scope separating essential capabilities from features that can wait
  • The key assumptions and risks worth checking before development begins
  • An indicative timeline and budget range, to be refined once requirements are clarified
  • A recommended next step: further validation, a prototype, an MVP or deeper analysis
  • A written basis for your decision, with no obligation to work with Hexacode
Who it's for

This makes sense if...

  • 01 You have a product idea or a concrete user problem, but are unsure what a sensible first release should include.
  • 02 You want to organise priorities and risks before investing time and budget in development.
  • 03 You already have a product outline but need a technical perspective on feasibility and build order.
  • 04 You are developing an existing product and want to limit a new feature to a scope that can be tested sensibly.
  • 05 You need a basis for deciding whether to validate further, prepare a prototype or start building an MVP.
A different approach may be better if...
  • You expect confirmation of business potential without market research or customer interviews - we assess scope and technical risks, not demand.
  • You expect a full technical specification or architecture design for free - the assessment provides direction but does not replace a design phase.
  • You cannot yet identify the user or the problem the product should solve - in that case, the business assumptions should be developed first.
  • You immediately need a long-term partner for an existing product - see our external IT team service.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the MVP scope assessment

Why is the assessment free? What's the catch?

There is no hidden obligation. The initial assessment shows how we approach a product before you decide whether to work with us. Its scope is deliberately limited to priorities, key risks and an indicative timeline and budget range - it is not a full specification or architecture design.

What exactly will I receive?

A short written assessment covering the proposed first-release scope, key assumptions and risks, an indicative timeline and budget range, and a recommended next step. It is a basis for a decision, not full project documentation.

Will this assessment confirm that the idea has business potential?

No. We assess the possible first-release scope, assumptions and technical risks. Business potential requires customer research, market analysis and validation of the sales model. If that work should happen before development, we will recommend it as the next step.

Is a call required?

The form is usually enough. If essential information is missing, we will follow up by email. A call is optional and is not required to receive the initial assessment.
