AI Scope & Clarity Sprint

Early-stage startups often struggle not with technology but with unclear problems, shifting ideas, and unfrozen requirements. This service helps you bring clarity, structure, and decisiveness to your decision-making before you invest time or money in building an AI-powered product.

The final output is not a PDF or slides—you receive a structured Notion database that acts as your single source of truth for execution.

Who this service is for:

• 0→1 startup founders (pre-MVP / MVP stage)
• Non-technical or semi-technical founders
• Solo founders and small teams
  
• Founders exploring AI but unsure where it fits
  
• Anyone who wants to freeze the scope before hiring developers or freelancers

What’s included:

1.  Business & Problem Discovery

• Idea clarity and goal alignment
• Target user and pain-point identification
• Precise problem framing (what is in scope vs out of scope)

2.  AI Feasibility & Use-Case Mapping

• Evaluation of whether AI is required or unnecessary
  
• Identification of suitable AI approaches (LLMs, automation, analytics, etc.)
  
• Practical expectations on cost, complexity, and scalability

3.  Requirements Gathering

• Feature brainstorming and prioritization
  
• MVP vs future roadmap separation
  
• Functional and non-functional requirements definition

4.  Requirement Freezing (Delivered via Notion Database)

You will receive access to a Notion workspace/database containing:

• Frozen problem statement
  
• Target user & assumptions
  
• MVP feature list (Must / Should / Later)
  
• AI use-case mapping
  
• High-level architecture overview
  
• Tool & platform recommendations
  
• Estimated cost and effort
  
• Explicit “Not to build now” list

This Notion database can be:

• Shared with developers or agencies
• Used for sprint planning
• Updated as you move beyond MVP (with future engagement)

How does the engagement work?

• Structured 1:1 consulting sessions
• Time-boxed and milestone-driven
• Clear deliverables with requirements freeze at the end
• No open-ended advisory or vague brainstorming

What this service does NOT include:

• Full product development
• Writing production code
• Custom AI model training
• Guaranteed business or revenue outcomes
• Unlimited ongoing support (available separately)

Why requirement freezing matters:

Most early-stage products fail because:

• Requirements keep changing
• AI is added without purpose
• Founders start building before thinking clearly

This service ensures you decide first, build later.

What you walk away with:

• A clear, frozen MVP scope
• A structured Notion database as your execution reference
• Confidence to hire, build, or validate
• Reduced risk, rework, and cost.

Delivery:
