How do I choose the right engagement?+
Start with Technical Audit if scope is unclear. Choose Product Build when scope is mostly known and you need launch this quarter. Use a short-term sprint for one urgent workflow. Choose Fractional CTO for ongoing senior leadership.
When is Product Build the default?+
If your core workflow is defined and you need a launch this quarter, Product Build is the default middle tier.
What is a realistic MVP development cost, and which lane fits?+
Most startups evaluating MVP development choose between Technical Audit ($5K) for clarity first and Product Build ($25K-$50K) for production launch. Short-term plans are only for one blocked workflow, not full MVP scope.
What can be shipped in short-term plans (2 weeks vs 4 weeks)?+
Sprint Fix (2 weeks) focuses on one high-risk workflow. Launch Sprint (4 weeks) covers one scoped release with implementation, QA, and handoff proof. If more than one workflow is in scope, move to Product Build.
Why is Product Build the most selected tier?+
Product Build is the middle lane between discovery-only and monthly leadership. It is the right fit when you need full implementation, launch proof, and post-launch support in a defined 2-8 week window. If your needs exceed one workflow, Product Build is usually the right next step after a sprint.
How do you prevent scope drift during builds?+
Every engagement runs on milestone boundaries, weekly proof updates, and written acceptance criteria. Scope additions are reviewed before implementation starts.
Do I work directly with Rodolf?+
Yes. You work directly with Rodolf from scoping through handoff. No relay chain and no hidden junior substitution.
What happens after launch?+
Product Build includes 30 days of post-launch support. After that, you can continue with Fractional CTO support or run ad-hoc support as needed.
