How it works

Two weeks. Three phases.
Nothing vague.

Here is exactly what happens between "I have an idea" and "my product is live." Every day accounted for, with one hard gate in the middle: nothing gets built until you sign off.

How Firstspec works

Firstspec turns an idea into a live MVP in two weeks, across three phases. Week one is product clarity: we define who it is for, cut the feature list, and get your sign-off on a prototype. Week two is the build. On day 14, you own everything, code, access, and all.

Last updated: July 2026

Phase 1 · Days 1 to 7
Product clarity

We define who it is for, map the one flow that matters, write the PRD, and cut everything else. Ends with a prototype and your sign-off.

Phase 2 · Days 8 to 13
The build

Auth, onboarding, and every core flow working end to end, built with Lovable, Supabase, and Cursor, deployed to your own domain.

Phase 3 · Day 14
Handoff

A Loom walkthrough, analytics set up, a week of Slack support, and full ownership. Source code and access, transferred to you.

Phase 1 · Product Clarity

The week that saves your money

Most studios start building on day one. We spend the first week making sure the thing being built deserves to exist.

Day 1

Kickoff call

Sixty minutes. You talk, we ask the uncomfortable questions: who is this for, what do they do today, what happens if this does not exist.

60-min call
Days 2 to 3

ICP and core flow

We define the one person your product serves and the one flow that gets them value. "Everyone" is not an answer, and neither is a feature list. This becomes your ICP and core user flow.

PRD and the cut list

Everything worth building goes in the PRD. Everything else goes on the cut list, with the reason it can wait. The cut list is usually longer.

Prototype and sign-off

You see a clickable prototype of exactly what version one will be. Nothing moves to the build until you approve it. This is the gate.

Not one line of code gets written before you sign off on the spec.
Phase 2 · The Build

Six days of building the right thing

The build is the easy part when the spec is right. This is where AI-native speed pays off: days, not months.

Days 8 to 10

Core flows, working

Auth, onboarding, and your primary user flow, built end to end on Lovable and Supabase. Real data, real accounts, no smoke.

Days 11 to 12

Every remaining flow

The rest of the approved spec gets built and connected: integrations, edge states, and the details that make it feel like a product, not a demo.

Deploy to your domain

The MVP goes live on your own domain with analytics wired in. You watch it happen, because you have been updated the whole way.

Phase 3 · Handoff

Day 14: it's yours

No retainer, no lock-in, no "talk to us to make changes." You leave with the product and everything needed to run it.

The handoff includes a recorded Loom walkthrough of everything we built, so you can revisit it any time. Basic analytics are already set up, so you are measuring from day one.

Full source code and platform access transfer to you. And for the week after launch, we stay on Slack for questions, fixes, and the small surprises every launch has.

You also get the free GTM doc: a practical plan for your first 10 customers, written for your specific product, not a generic checklist. It comes from the same PM who ran your build.

Questions

The process, honestly

What if I don't approve the prototype on day 7?+
Then we revise it until you do. The gate exists to protect you, not to rush you. If the clarity phase reveals your idea is not ready to build, we tell you that too, and you walk away with the full clarity document either way.
What do you need from me during the two weeks?+
The kickoff call, quick async answers during phase one, the sign-off on day 7, and availability for a short review before launch. Most founders spend under five hours total.
What happens after the one week of support?+
You own everything, so you can continue with any developer, any tool, or with us on a separate engagement. Nothing about the build locks you to Firstspec.
Can you build faster than two weeks?+
No, and we won't pretend to. One week of clarity plus one week of building is the minimum for doing both properly. Studios promising 3-day MVPs are skipping the first week. That week is the product.
How much does the two-week MVP cost?+
It is a single fixed price with no retainer and no hidden add-ons. See the Pricing page for the current number and exactly what is included.
