Foundational prototyping: 12-day architecture-first MVP

A contained 12-day build that prioritises architecture, tests, and pipelines before UI, delivering a demoable MVP with a clear handover.

Process overview

  1. Days 1-2: Kick-off and scope: outcomes, success criteria, constraints, and a lean architecture outline.
  2. Days 3-5: Scaffolding and CI: repo, environments, CI/CD, base components, and test harness.
  3. Days 6-9: Core features and tests: red-route features, API contracts, integration tests.
  4. Day 10: Hardening and UX: edge cases, performance basics, accessibility, and user flows.
  5. Days 11-12: Demo and handover: walkthrough, docs, runbooks, and next-steps roadmap.
