Define the first complete journey
Specify what a user can create, review, update and export. Agree acceptance criteria for each step before adding secondary features.
SaaS Development
Give your product idea a buildable first version.
Define the smallest useful product, agree its acceptance criteria and build around the people who will actually use it.
Prices cover the listed scope. Additional work and external costs are quoted separately.
A practical approach
Build around roles, records and reliable decisions.
An effective first release covers the important user journey and the controls that keep it dependable.
Design access deliberately
Document account roles, organisation boundaries and sensitive actions. Check permissions on the server as part of the implementation scope.
Verify release readiness
Plan validation, error states, recovery and security checks alongside the feature work. Use an agreed verification checklist to make handover reviewable.
The verification standard is a planning reference; a certification or independent security audit is a separate engagement.
Platform reference: OWASP: Application Security Verification Standard
SaaS Development
What we’ll deliver.
Define and build one core product workflow with up to two user roles, six key screens and one agreed integration.
- Your idea has too many features for the first release.
- You need a clear discovery output before a development quote.
- Ownership, access and ongoing support need to be explicit.
Define the first release
Map the user problem, two roles, essential screens and the integration boundary.
How we check it
Approve an acceptance backlog and explicitly record features reserved for later releases.
Build the core workflow
Develop the agreed screens and permissions through staged demonstrations.
How we check it
Each milestone can be reviewed against the specified user tasks and access rules.
Validate the working product
Check normal tasks, invalid inputs, role restrictions and integration failures.
How we check it
Record passed checks, defects and accepted limitations before release.
Transfer the product
Hand over source, deployment access and operating instructions.
How we check it
Assign hosting and support ownership, with the agreed thirty-day defect window documented.
Your handover
Accepted feature backlog, source repository, deployment instructions and operating notes for the agreed first release.
Included scope and boundaries
- 1 validated core workflow
- up to 2 user roles and 6 key screens
- one agreed integration
- acceptance backlog and staged walkthroughs
- source repository and deployment handover
- 30-day defect correction window
Outside this scope: Mobile native apps, regulated-system certification, open-ended backlog, infrastructure charges and 24/7 operations
Scope and investment
Plan the work and the budget together.
$8,000 – $20,000 / defined MVP
6–10 weeks for the defined scope after discovery
Additional costs
Discovery $750 – $1,500; hosting and maintenance separate
What changes the cost?
Discovery defines the implementation scope and quote. Proposed milestone billing is 40% at start, 30% at approved build and 30% at acceptance, subject to the agreed contract.
Working with your budget
If the full scope is beyond your budget, we’ll prioritise the most useful work and agree a smaller first phase with you.
What we need from you
- User problem
- must-have workflow
- roles/integrations
Share what is available. We’ll identify any missing access or inputs during scoping.
Published prices apply to the listed scope. Deliverables, timing, revisions and external costs are confirmed before work starts.

An MVP milestone and acceptance example
An illustrative delivery approach to help you review the scope. This is a planning example, not a client case study.
| Stage | Example work | Acceptance or decision |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Define a listing submission and review workflow for two user roles. | Agree the screen list, permissions and one integration boundary. |
| Reviewable build | Demonstrate a submission, review decision and published record using test records. | Check rejected/invalid inputs and role restrictions as well as the happy path. |
| Handover | Transfer the agreed source, deployment instructions and operating notes. | Sign off the backlog; assign hosting, support and any remaining work. |
Our products
Built around real business needs.
ScaleXTalk
Keep the conversation going when your team is busy. ScaleXTalk handles business calls, collects caller details, qualifies enquiries and supports appointment booking.
- AI call answering
- Appointment booking
- Caller details and lead qualification
- Customisable call scripts
Product or managed service?
ScaleXTalk is the voice product. ScaleXSol can scope the business setup, call rules, integration, testing and management separately. Confirm the selected product plan and deployment requirements in the combined quote.
What should I evaluate?
Listen to the roofing, plumbing and HVAC call recordings on the AI receptionist service page to assess the voice and responses. Before deployment, also test appointment booking, interruptions and human fallback against your business rules.
What makes up the total cost?
One-time setup, recurring management, the product/platform plan, telephone numbers and call usage. The management allowance alone is not the total operating cost.
ScaleXBizz
Help customers find service providers by category and location. ScaleXBizz brings business profiles, service information and contact details into one place.
- Search by service and location
- Business profiles and service details
- Direct contact with providers
- Business listing submissions
For a business owner
Prepare your business name, category, service location, website and contact information. Use the directory enquiry to discuss a listing and who can keep its information current.
For someone finding a provider
The directory supports discovery by service and location, with profiles and provider contact details. Tell us the service and area you need when asking about access.
How are listings approved and priced?
Request the current listing options, review criteria and any charges before submitting business information. A listing does not imply a guaranteed enquiry volume or a paid endorsement.

Before you decide
Questions worth asking.
Can you deliver my MVP within an agreed scope and budget?
The defined MVP allowance covers one validated workflow, up to two roles, six key screens and one integration. Discovery turns the idea into an acceptance backlog and identifies dependencies before an implementation commitment. Review staged demonstrations against that backlog; new features require an explicit scope and price decision.
Can I see products associated with ScaleXSol?
ScaleXTalk and ScaleXBizz are shown below as owner-supplied products. Use their available overview and public product link to understand the use cases. A project proposal should identify the team’s precise delivery role and provide an appropriate working walkthrough.
What happens after the MVP is handed over?
The proposed scope includes source/deployment handover and a thirty-day defect correction window. Hosting, ongoing operations, new features and around-the-clock support are separate responsibilities. Agree acceptance, ownership and maintenance before the final milestone.
What is the starting budget and what is separate?
$8,000 – $20,000 / defined MVP. Discovery $750 – $1,500; hosting and maintenance separate These are published USD prices. The written quote must state the complete cost, payment schedule and applicable taxes.
When can the work begin and what do you need from me?
6–10 weeks for the defined scope after discovery. To scope the work, prepare: User problem; must-have workflow; roles/integrations. The schedule starts after the required access, inputs and approvals are ready.
How are revisions, extra work and support agreed?
Use the listed deliverables and exclusions as the starting point. The quote must state acceptance checks, review rounds, payment stages, cancellation arrangements and any ongoing support. Requested additions need an agreed cost and schedule before implementation.
