Days 1–4- Define the outcome and the one metric that proves it
- Reference architecture — stack, data flow, deployment surface
- Identify the single riskiest assumption to test
Prototype
Days 4–8- Build a throwaway prototype of the riskiest slice
- Validate feasibility, cost, and the AI/data approach
Quote
Days 8–10- Fixed-price build plan with scope boundaries and timeline
- Go / no-go recommendation, sprint fee credited on go
How It Works
01
A 30-minute scoping call — we confirm fit and write back with a yes / no within 48 hours.
02
A fixed price and a named senior pod — no hourly billing, no open-ended budget.
03
Kickoff within days of signing, not weeks.
What “Done” Means
You hold a costed, de-risked plan and can start the build at a fixed price.
Why Codenovai
We de-risk the build before you commit a cent to it — and credit the sprint fee the moment you proceed.

FAQ
- Why pay for a plan instead of a free quote?
- A free quote is a guess. The Blueprint Sprint pressure-tests the riskiest part of your idea with a working prototype, so the build quote you get is one we'll commit to at a fixed price. If you proceed, the fee is credited — so it costs nothing net, and you never sign an open-ended budget.
- What do I actually walk away with?
- A reference architecture, a working prototype of the hardest slice, and a fixed-price build quote with a timeline in weeks. If you build with us, the fee is credited. If you don't, the plan is yours to take anywhere.
- How is this not just discovery billed by the hour?
- It's a fixed price for a fixed outcome in a fixed window. You buy a costed plan and a prototype, not our hours. Nothing is open-ended.
