Most agencies turn a month of MVP work into a vague estimate and a discovery-phase invoice. We compress the same work into a fixed 14-day clock and write it into the contract.
Here's the actual cadence:
Day 0 you sign the brief. The repo is created in your GitHub org. First standup scheduled. Day 1 3 milestone 1: schema, auth, foundations. Reviewed. Day 4 7 milestone 2: core features. Reviewed. Day 8 10 milestone 3: secondary features, polish. Reviewed. Day 11 13 milestone 4: preview live on our infra, hardening, tests. Reviewed. Day 14 shipped. Tests green, preview live, docs written, a git log showing every commit.
How it's not just "faster = worse": AI handles the boilerplate scaffolding, types, test stubs. Humans handle judgment under ambiguity, multi-file consistency, and the thing the spec didn't say but you meant. Same outcome, fewer wall-clock hours, a person's name on every commit.
