FAQ

Frequently asked questions

An MVP includes only core features needed to validate your idea. We focus on essential functionality, clean code, and scalability. You can add features later based on user feedback.

Yes. We build MVPs with scalable architecture, so adding features is straightforward. Many clients continue with us for post-MVP development based on user feedback.

We work in weekly sprints with demos. You can request changes, but scope changes may affect timeline. We prioritize communication to avoid surprises.

Yes. For mobile apps, we handle App Store and Play Store submissions, including metadata, screenshots, and compliance requirements.

We provide 30 days of post-launch support for bug fixes and minor adjustments. After that, you can engage us for feature additions, scaling, or ongoing maintenance.

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (AU)

For Australian teams, we keep privacy and data-handling explicit: access boundaries, safe logging, and clear retention policies.

We can support residency-sensitive designs (where feasible) and document data flows for stakeholder review.

  • Privacy Act-aware delivery posture (generic, no legal claims)
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries
  • Retention/deletion options where required
  • PII-safe logging and least-privilege defaults
  • NDA and DPA templates available on request

Timezone & Collaboration (APAC)

We support APAC collaboration with AEST/AEDT-friendly meeting windows and async progress updates.

We keep momentum with weekly milestones, crisp priorities, and predictable release planning.

  • APAC overlap with AEST/AEDT windows
  • Async-first updates and written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and scope control
  • Release planning with staged rollouts
  • Clear escalation path for blockers

Engagement & Procurement (AU)

We can structure engagements with clear scope, milestones, and invoicing that fits common procurement expectations.

If you need a lightweight vendor onboarding pack, we can provide delivery process notes and security posture summaries.

  • AUD-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Milestone-based billing for fixed-scope work
  • Time-and-materials for evolving scope
  • Procurement-friendly documentation on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (APAC)

With APAC teams, async clarity matters: written decisions, stable releases, and test coverage that prevents regressions.

We use performance budgets and release checklists so handoffs stay smooth across timezones.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Release checklist + rollback plan for production launches
  • Security checklist for auth and sensitive data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
