Specification starter

Answer a few plain questions about what you want built. You get a structured outline of a specification, with acceptance criteria, that you can copy, edit and bring to the first conversation.

4. Where will it run?
7. What must it connect to?

Your outline

# Specification outline: Your project

## 1. Purpose
What problem this solves, and how the work is done today.

## 2. Users and roles
Used by the people who will use it. List each role and what it may see or change.

## 3. Platforms
- Web app

## 4. What users can do, with acceptance criteria
1. The first task a user must be able to do
   Done when: it works end to end with sample data and you have checked it.

## 5. Data the software keeps
- The records it stores, and who may see them

## 6. Integrations
- None in this block

## 7. Out of scope for this block
- Anything not listed in section 4

## 8. Timing and constraints
Any deadline, language, device or hosting constraint.

## 9. How the work will be accepted
- Each item in section 4 is shown working and tested by you against its acceptance criteria
- Work that does not meet an item is not accepted and is put right
- The review window and payment terms are set out in the Statement of Work

## 10. Agreed in writing before work starts
- Third party costs: hosting, paid APIs, licences, app store fees
- Ownership: code, documentation and IP are yours on acceptance and payment

## 11. Open questions
- Anything you are not sure about yet

A starting outline from your answers. The Statement of Work is then written with you after the first conversation.

Method

How the result is worked out.

  1. Plain prompts

    Who uses the system, what they need to do, what data it holds, what it connects to and what is out of scope for now.

  2. An outline with acceptance criteria

    Your answers are arranged into the sections a Statement of Work needs, with criteria written so each one can be checked.

  3. A starting point

    The outline is a draft for the first conversation. The signed Statement of Work is written with you after scoping.

Start with a conversation

Tell us what you want built. We will tell you plainly whether it fits.

The first conversation is free. You get a rough size in hours, the tier that suits the work, and what a first 150 hour block would cover.
