The roadmap is a list of everyone's ideas
Founders, advisors and early customers each add a screen. Nothing on the list says what would change the decision to continue, stop, or charge. The build then lasts as long as the list.
Technology for Startups
A startup should build the smallest product that can test the assumption that matters.
Direct answer
An MVP is the first dependable version of one workflow, not a sketch of the whole company. Sunbeam helps decide which assumption is being tested, builds that release, and leaves the code in a state a later team can extend. Features that do not speak to the assumption wait.
Where the work breaks
The problems we expect to hear.
The first version cannot be changed safely
A rush to demo produces an application one person understands. The next hire, or the next feature, costs more than the first build because there is no shape to it.
There is no signal after launch
The product ships without a definition of the action that matters. The team then argues from anecdotes, because nothing recorded whether users did the thing the company bet on.
What we would build
A first system sized to the actual work.
01
A discovery that names the assumption
Demand, willingness to pay, or whether the workflow fits a real day. The first release is designed to learn that, and the rest is written down as later work.
02
A web application with an honest scope
Accounts if users must return, the core task, and a way to see that they did it. Billing, roles and integrations are included when the assumption requires them, and left out when it does not.
03
A handover a next engineer can use
Repository, environments, and a short description of the decisions that constrain the next change. The startup owns the code and the accounts.
How the system has to behave
Practical constraints, decided before the build.
- A stack the next hire can realistically operate
- Analytics on the action the assumption cares about
- Deployment and access from the first release, not as a cleanup project

Answers that sit behind this work
FAQ
Questions from Startups teams.
Do you build startup MVPs?
Yes. We define the assumption, build the smallest dependable release that can test it, and leave a codebase another engineer can continue.
Can you work as a technical partner before we hire?
Yes. Discovery, architecture and the first build can sit with Sunbeam while the company decides what to hire for. The work is documented so a hire is not blocked on us.
How do you avoid building too much?
Every proposed feature has to serve the assumption under test. If it does not, it goes on a later list. That is a product decision, made in the open, not a surprise during the build.
