Most agency-built MVPs are demos with database tables — they ship but don't scale, lack real auth, ignore multi-tenancy, and have to be rebuilt within 18 months. NKKTech ships SaaS MVPs that are MVPs in scope but production-grade in architecture. Multi-tenant from day one, real auth + RBAC, Stripe billing, observability, CI/CD, and AI-ready data models. 8–14 weeks, fixed fee, ready to charge customers.
Production architecture in MVP scope. Six capabilities every project includes.
Tenant isolation via Row-Level Security in Postgres (most cases) or schema-per-tenant for larger clients. No "rebuild for scale" later.
Auth.js / NextAuth / Clerk + custom RBAC. Email + password, SSO (Google, Microsoft, SAML on Enterprise plans), MFA. Production-grade from launch.
Stripe Billing with metered + flat plans, free trials, proration, dunning. Webhook → entitlement sync, in-app upgrade flows, admin portal.
Event tables structured for AI features later (chatbots, recommendations, analytics). Vector columns added when ready. No rewrite when you want to add AI.
Sentry for errors, Datadog or Vercel Analytics for performance, OpenTelemetry traces. CI runs tests + type checks; CD ships to staging on every merge, prod on tags.
Incident-response runbook, on-call rotation guidance, backup + restore procedures, scaling guides. Hand-off documentation your team can actually use.
Whiteboard sessions, data model design, scope freeze, fixed-fee quote. You walk out with an MVP definition + cost commitment.
Multi-tenancy, auth, billing, deployment infra. The unglamorous foundations that make everything else easy later.
Core features in priority order. Weekly demos. Anything not in the scoped MVP goes to a backlog for phase 2.
Production launch, monitoring tuning, on-call training, written runbook. Optional 30-day post-launch support included.
Industry-specific workflow tools — invoicing, project management, compliance dashboards. Typical MVP scope: ~10 features, multi-tenant, $99–$499/month pricing tier.
Wrappers around LLM APIs with workflow logic, prompt management, eval frameworks. AI-ready from day one — vector storage, prompt versioning, observability.
Two-sided marketplaces with provider + customer flows, ratings, escrow, Stripe Connect for payouts. Lean MVP scope to validate match-quality before scaling.
Companies productizing internal tools they built to run their own ops. We harden the architecture (multi-tenant, billing, RBAC) for external customers.
KYC-aware onboarding, compliance documentation, audit-trail-by-default. We pair with crypto/fintech counsel for regulatory wrappers.
Industry-specific AI agents (legal, sales-ops, customer success) packaged as SaaS. RAG-backed, with eval framework, billing on tokens or seats.
Below 8 weeks: corners get cut on multi-tenancy, auth, or billing that we'll regret later. Above 14 weeks: the MVP is too big — we should have cut scope. The sweet spot for production-grade-MVP-scope is 8–14 weeks. Bigger projects (3–6 months) we run as Phase 1 + Phase 2 with a fully-shipped MVP between.
USD 40K–120K depending on scope. We give a fixed-fee quote after a 1-week scoping sprint (the scoping sprint itself is USD 5K, credited toward the build if you proceed). No open-ended hourly billing; you know the cost going in.
Yes. Full code ownership transfers on final payment. We use standard open-source dependencies, common SaaS stacks, and avoid lock-in. You can take the code to another vendor or your in-house team without any rebuild.
Yes. About 40% of MVP engagements are augmentation — your team plus 1–3 NKKTech senior engineers, with us leading or co-leading. Your team gets training on the patterns we use, so post-MVP work continues smoothly.
We design every SaaS MVP with AI features in mind even when not in MVP scope: event tables structured for ML training data, schema with room for vector columns, observability that captures prompts/outputs once you add AI. About 70% of clients add AI features within 6–12 months.
