How It Works · rwxt | Fractional CTO & MVP Development for Startups How It Works | rwxt | Fractional CTO & MVP Development for Startups

From idea to launch — no friction

A focused, fast-moving workflow designed for clarity and speed. Built like an agency project, delivered like a startup.

Three stages. Zero handovers.

Every project follows the same proven path — scoped, built, and shipped in 8-12 weeks.

1. Scope
Define the MVP. Capture what matters, cut what doesn't. Map user journeys, set success metrics, and write clear user stories.
2. Build
Design and code move together — no silos, no waiting. Every commit moves the product toward production, not just a prototype.
3. Ship
Deploy with security, scalability, and polish baked in. Infrastructure, analytics, and support ready from day one.

How each phase works

A detailed look at what happens at every stage, and what you'll receive.

1

Scope — Define the MVP

We start by stripping away everything that isn't essential. You know your users, I know what's technically feasible. Together we map out the core flow, set measurable success metrics, and document clear user stories. No bloat, no guesswork.

Deliverables:

  • Product requirements document
  • User flow diagrams
  • Technical feasibility assessment
  • Feature prioritization matrix
  • Success metrics & KPIs
  • Timeline & milestone plan

Build — Design & Code in Parallel

Design and development happen side by side, not in sequence. As soon as wireframes are validated, code begins. Weekly progress updates keep you in the loop. No handovers between teams, no delays waiting for "design sign-off."

Deliverables:

  • High-fidelity UI designs (Figma)
  • Responsive frontend implementation
  • Backend API & database architecture
  • User authentication & authorization
  • Admin dashboard (if required)
  • Weekly progress demos

Ship — Deploy & Support

Deployment isn't an afterthought. Your product goes live on secure, scalable infrastructure (AWS or GCP). Analytics are wired up, monitoring is active, and you get 30 days of post-launch support to handle edge cases and refinements.

Deliverables:

  • Production deployment (AWS/GCP)
  • SSL certificates & domain setup
  • Database backups & monitoring
  • Analytics integration (Plausible/Google)
  • Error tracking (Sentry)
  • 30 days post-launch support
