You may be surprised what it takes to build an MVP today.
LOJI helps non-technical founders and business leaders turn an idea, workflow, spreadsheet, design, or AI-assisted concept into a focused first product.
Cost position
$4k minimum engagement
Useful for focused discovery, design-to-MVP handoff, scope reduction, technical planning, narrow prototype work, or a small first build with a clearly constrained outcome.
Average MVP closer to $40k
Most serious MVPs need more than screens: auth, data, workflows, integrations, AI behavior, admin tools, deployment, support paths, and launch decisions.
You do not need to arrive with a technical plan.
Modern tools changed what is possible at MVP scale, but judgment still determines what should be built first. We help turn raw context into an executable first product path.
From idea or design to a working first product.
Clarify the customer and use case
We identify the user, workflow, buyer, business constraint, and the first promise the product has to prove.
Define the MVP proof
The first version should not be everything. It should be the smallest useful product that proves the right assumption.
Reduce scope before build work
We separate what belongs in phase one from what can wait, so budget goes toward learning and usable product value.
Map technical and AI requirements
Data, integrations, AI behavior, security, deployment, and support expectations get identified before they become surprises.
Build toward first users
LOJI can carry the work from design and scope into MVP delivery, launch preparation, and the next product decision.
Even an MVP needs the right production decisions.
An MVP should be focused, not careless. LOJI keeps scope tight while still making the decisions that prevent avoidable rebuilds, launch confusion, and weak user trust later.
Security
Authentication and authorization
Login, roles, permissions, admin access, and AI actions.
Access control
Clear boundaries between users, teams, admins, and data.
Secrets management
API keys, credentials, environment variables, and service access.
Product logic
Payments and subscription states
Trials, upgrades, renewals, cancellations, and failed payments.
Billing rules and entitlements
Pricing, account rules, invoicing assumptions, and access rights.
CRUD and data integrity
Safe creates, updates, deletes, audits, and recovery paths.
Reliability
Scalability and latency
More users, larger data sets, peak traffic, and slow services.
Logging and alerting
Production visibility when failures or user-impacting events happen.
Incident response
Release failures, bad data, broken integrations, and recovery plans.
Operations
CI/CD and release operations
Environments, migrations, feature flags, rollbacks, and checks.
Support paths
Reproduction steps, severity, escalation, and customer context.
Documentation
Architecture, workflows, decisions, and operating procedures.
Data and compliance
Data retention
Deletion, retention, backups, archival, and lifecycle rules.
Privacy and consent
GDPR/CCPA, cookies, analytics, consent, and sensitive data handling.
Auditability
The ability to understand who changed what and when.
Business readiness
Product analytics
Conversion, retention, churn, onboarding, and adoption signals.
Infrastructure cost
Cloud usage, model usage, rate limits, and scaling cost exposure.
Vendor risk
Lock-in, portability, operational dependencies, and replacement cost.
Work from the start without losing the path to launch.
The first version should create learning, not a pile of disconnected assets. LOJI can help from scope and design through MVP build, first users, hardening, and the next market decision.
Idea
Scope
Design or workflow map
MVP build
First users
Learn
Harden
Grow
Customer and workflow clarity
Scope discipline before build
Data ownership and access boundaries
Authentication and permission decisions
Integration and AI behavior risk
Deployment and support basics
Bring the idea, design, workflow, spreadsheet, or AI-assisted concept.
We will help determine what the MVP should prove, what budget level fits the goal, and what should be designed, built, deferred, or hardened before first users depend on it.
