The real problem
The business case is strong. The opportunity is real. But every time the conversation turns to 'build it,' the same objection appears: 'Show me it works first.'
The pilot prototype is the difference between 'great idea' and 'approved project.' Internal innovation teams, corporate ventures, and startup founders all face the same bottleneck — getting from concept to proof-of-concept without a 6-month dev cycle or a $200K budget.
Dev shops quote $50K-$150K and 3-6 months. By then, the window has closed, the budget cycle has passed, or the competitor has shipped.
A working prototype this month beats a perfect product in 6 months.
The cost of waiting
Internal projects that don't get prototyped don't get funded.
The pilot prototype is the difference between 'great idea' and 'approved project.'
Dev agency quotes of $50-150K often kill promising projects.
A $3,499 prototype proves feasibility at a fraction of the cost.
Speed matters more than perfection.
A working prototype this month beats a perfect product in 6 months.
The options you've already considered
Production-grade from day one — but 3-6 months and a budget that requires board approval.
If there's available capacity. Most internal teams are fully committed to production priorities.
Hits a ceiling on auth, APIs, and custom logic. Doesn't produce code a dev team can extend.
6 months of side-project development, competing with production priorities, rarely completed.
A different model
Complete application, not a demo.
Auth, database, APIs, analytics. A user interacting with it wouldn't know it's a prototype.
3 client checkpoints.
After directions, after core build, after polish. Full visibility and control throughout.
Handoff-ready for production.
Product Brief with architecture decisions, launch recommendations, and a codebase any team can extend.
2-3 weeks, not 3-6 months.
The prototype exists in the timeline that internal decision-making requires.
No calls. No contracts. Full ownership.
The starting point
The Brief Chat is a guided conversation — not a form, not a phone call — that captures the business, customers, goals, and what makes it different. About 20 minutes.
Most people struggle to explain their business clearly. The Brief Chat draws it out — the right questions, in the right order, with room to ramble. The ramble becomes the strategy.
20 minutes → 2-3 weeks later, professional deliverables land in the inbox.
What the Brief Chat covers
What your product does and who it's for
All the user flows that need to work
Authentication and access requirements
Third-party integrations needed
Who needs to approve this and what they need to see
Anything else that would help — in your own words
What's included
Every deliverable is built from the Brief Chat — tailored to your product and organization.
Problem, target user, solution, assumptions, success criteria.
The whole product — not just key flows. User auth, database, persistence, API integrations, analytics. Responsive and polished.
Login, signup, role-based access if needed. Secure and functional.
Full data model. Relational where needed. Production-quality schema.
Third-party connections as required by the product.
Basic usage tracking — who's using what, how often, key flows.
Impact vs effort informed by real build insights.
What was built, decisions, trade-offs, and recommended next steps for production.
What works, what to refine, what the production build should prioritize.
Full codebase, environment setup, deployment docs.
Agencies and consultants charge $54,000 – $162,500 for these deliverables.
Ironbrev delivers all of this for $3499 — because the model is different, not the quality.
No calls. No contracts. Delivered in 2-3 weeks.
The math
If the prototype unlocks internal funding for a $500K production build, the $3,499 just delivered 140x ROI. If it proves the concept isn't viable before $200K is committed, it saved the organization from a costly mistake. The risk-reward ratio is asymmetric in your favor.
At $3,499, the downside is $3,499. The upside is a funded project.
