The process

Five steps.
Built in weeks, not quarters.

The work is kept narrow enough to ship and explicit enough to own.

01 Week 0

Conversation

A focused call about the workflow, the people using it, and what has to be true at launch.

02 48 hours

Scope

A written first build: what is included, what waits, timeline, price, deposit, and handoff terms.

03 Weeks 1–6

Build

Weekly working previews. Direct decisions. The application takes shape against real business use.

04 Weeks 4–8

Launch

Production release with users, hosting, access, monitoring, and the first support path in place.

05 Closeout

Own

Repository, hosting records, docs, and credentials move into client-controlled accounts.

What it costs

Real numbers, written down.

Custom software used to mean $150K and six months. AI compresses that. Here is what the work actually costs in 2026.

Sellable release starts at $8K 4–8 weeks

First working product. One platform. Core flows only.

Full first version starts in the mid teens 8–14 weeks

Multi-platform. Auth, payments, admin, integrations.

Maintenance retainer from $250/mo Optional

Continuous improvements, monitoring, support. Cancel anytime.

If a project isn't a fit, the first call says so.

What you actually get

Outcomes, not adjectives.

Common Vancouver Island build shapes. Numbers where we have them, scenarios where we don't.

Revenue ~40%

Recurring becomes ownable.

Routine calls down ~40% for a service business that turned one-off invoices into membership tiers a customer can subscribe to.

Retention 1 portal

The customer feels hosted, not processed.

Members stopped feeling like a mailing list. One profile each. Ten-minute allocation views. Fewer support emails per release week.

Productivity 47 → 1

Karen’s spreadsheet retires.

Forty-seven spreadsheet tabs became one operating system with permissions, approvals, and an audit trail. The process stops depending on one person being at their desk.

Sellability Asset

The business becomes transferable.

A buyer sees a system, not a dependency. A custom application is an asset on the balance sheet, not an expense on the P&L.

Designed. Built. Owned.
