MVP Development Service

An MVP puts a working product in front of real users at the smallest cost that still tests the idea. What you learn from actual use is more reliable than what you learn from planning, and it arrives before the budget for a full build is committed. Features that turn out not to matter are never paid for.

Theta Solutions identifies the core features that address the primary user need and defers the rest. The Nursery Management System MVP is a worked example: it automated fee calculation across batches, sibling discounts and holiday adjustments — the parts childminders were getting wrong by hand — and left further features to be added on the basis of feedback from that first rollout.

Theta Solutions projects run from 6 weeks to a year or more, and an MVP is scoped to sit at the bottom of that range by design — it is the shortest useful build. The timeline follows from how many features survive the cut at discovery, and fixing that scope first is what keeps an MVP from growing into a full build during delivery.

Yes, and that is the point of building one. Feedback from real use decides what gets built next, rather than a roadmap fixed before launch. The Nursery Management System was built this way, with further features planned on the basis of feedback and the operational experience of the first rollout.

Theta Solutions projects range from $5,000 to $100,000+, and an MVP is scoped to sit at the lower end of that range by design — fewer features built means less to pay for. Cost follows the feature list agreed at discovery. Fixed price suits settled requirements; time and material suits a scope expected to move as feedback arrives.
