Validation Sprint · Before you build

Validate your product idea before committing to a full build

In one to two weeks, I work out with you what the product should be, test the idea as a clickable prototype, and check it can be built sensibly. You leave with a build plan and a fixed quote, whoever builds it.

Is it right for you?

  • You have an idea but haven't pinned down the first version.
  • You want to show investors, partners or early users something real before spending on a build.
  • You want to know what a build would cost and take before committing.

What’s included

Product discovery
A discovery call on the problem, the people and what success looks like.
User journeys
The key journeys through the product, mapped and agreed.
Product structure
The screens and how they connect, with what belongs in the first version.
UX exploration
Options for the hardest screens, tested against the journeys.
Prototype design
A clickable Figma prototype you can share and test.
Technical feasibility
How it would be built, what's risky, and what it depends on.
Recommended next steps
A build plan and a fixed quote for the MVP.

What’s not included

  • Writing production code
  • User research recruitment or paid testing panels

Questions about Validation Sprint

Do I have to build with you afterwards?
