MVP Build Proposal — Traditional vs Hyperboom
This is an MVP build (not a “full platform”). The goal is to get a real product live fast, validate retention,
and earn the right to expand. The pricing stays low because the build is executed in a lean AI-augmented model
with performance-aligned ownership.
MVP Scope • 6–8 weeks
Cash + Equity alignment
Low management burden
Concrete Comparison (What You’re Actually Buying)
Most founders underestimate the hidden cost of “traditional dev”: managing people, syncing context, and rework from handoffs.
5–7 people
Traditional team size
2–4 hrs/wk
Founder meeting load
4–6 months
Traditional MVP timeline
$180k–$350k+
Traditional MVP cost
1 operator
Hyperboom execution
30–60 min/wk
Founder check-ins
6–8 weeks
Hyperboom MVP timeline
$15k–$18k
Hyperboom MVP cash
| Traditional Team Model | Hyperboom AI Dev Model |
| How work moves |
Design → handoff → frontend → handoff → backend → QA → fixes |
One continuous loop: design + build + test with full context |
| Founder effort |
More coordination than product decisions (alignment, approvals, disputes) |
Simple: weekly priorities + quick decisions |
| Where time gets lost |
Meetings, waiting on blockers, “not what we meant” rebuilds |
Zero handoffs: fewer misunderstandings, less rework |
| AI risk |
AI added late → messy prompts → unstable behavior → refactors |
AI first: structured extraction + confidence gates from week 1 |
| Cash burn |
$30k–$80k/month for 4–6 months |
$15k–$18k cash + aligned equity (no huge burn) |
Plain-English takeaway: Traditional is expensive because you pay for people + coordination.
Hyperboom is cheaper because you pay for execution density + speed — with a lower management burden.
MVP Scope (What We’re Shipping)
Core Product Loop (MVP)
Auth • Household setup • Ingestion (email forward + upload) • AI extraction • Approve/edit • Calendar • Tasks • Daily digest.
- Fast activation: value in under 15 minutes
- Trust-first: confidence gates + approval workflow
- Revenue-ready: subscriptions + basic analytics
AI Foundation (MVP)
Structured prompts • extraction schema • confidence scoring • template library • feedback loops for better scheduling + reminders.
- Built to evolve into guidance + concierge
- Reduces “AI randomness” and mistakes
- Creates a clean base for iteration
Build Timeline
Week 1–2
Foundation, UX flows, auth, data models, design system
Week 3–4
Ingestion, extraction pipeline, approval UI, calendar + tasks
Week 5–8
Digest engine, reminders, billing, polish, deploy
Pricing & Ownership Alignment
Equity percentage depends on which cash option you choose. This section is not legal advice — it’s a simple commercial structure we can finalize in the build agreement.
Paid in Full Best Value
$15,000
+ 10% equity (alignment stake)
Priority delivery • fastest momentum • strongest incentive
Standard
$9,000 × 2
+ 15% equity
Same scope and timeline • lower upfront load
Extended
$6,000 × 3
+ 20% equity
Three months • keeps cashflow light
Need even more runway? (not the default)
If timing is the only blocker, we can structure a 6‑month option at $3,250 × 6 with 30% equity.
This is intentionally hidden because it reduces momentum — but it’s there if needed.
Call incentive: If we align on the call and you choose a path same-day, I’ll include a “Launch Readiness Pack”
(demo script + onboarding checklist + first 10 user test plan) at no additional cost.
Risk Reversal
If it works
You get a real MVP live in weeks and a technical partner aligned to outcomes (not hourly burn).
- Faster validation
- Clear roadmap based on retention signals
- Lower capital risk
If it doesn’t
You still own the production-grade codebase, UX system, and AI pipeline — which can be pivoted, repackaged, or sold.
- Clarity on what the market wants
- No $200k+ sunk cost
- A reusable foundation for iteration
1) Confirm the MVP Path
Choose pricing + alignment
Select Paid-in-Full, Standard, or Extended. (6-month option only if needed.)
Confirm MVP scope
We lock the MVP list and define “done” so we ship fast without scope drift.
Important: The MVP is intentionally constrained. Expansions (mobile app, full concierge, multi-calendar complexity)
come after we validate retention and usage.
2) Paperwork + Payment
Build Agreement
After you select the option, I’ll send a simple build agreement covering:
scope, timeline, IP ownership, payment schedule, change policy, and equity terms.
Once the first payment clears, we schedule kickoff.
3) Kickoff (Week 1)
Kickoff call (45–60 min)
Finalize flows, onboarding questions, reminder rules, and success metrics.
Assets checklist
Brand colors, domain, basic copy, any existing research, target user profile.
Execution cadence
Weekly demo + short decision list. Everything else async.
4) Launch + Validation
Launch readiness
We’ll deploy the MVP, onboard early users, and track the signals that matter:
activation time, daily digest open rate, tasks completed, churn, and upgrade behavior.
What I need from you: fast decisions and access to one “ideal mom user” per week for feedback.
That’s how we compress timeline without sacrificing quality.
