Ship the SaaS workflow your roadmap keeps postponing.

Scoped, built, tested, and ready to release in 10 business days.

The $500 Scope Day is fully credited toward the founding Sprint, priced at $3,000 fixed.

One workflow, specified and shipped.

I map one complete path through your product, agree with you on what done means, then build it inside your existing codebase.

  • a written workflow specification
  • explicit acceptance criteria
  • implementation in your existing repository
  • critical-path testing
  • working staging checkpoint
  • final staging deployment or production-ready pull request
  • handoff documentation and Loom walkthrough
  • 14-day in-scope bug warranty

This isn't ten days of general developer time. It's one agreed workflow, delivered against acceptance criteria you approve.

What can fit in a Sprint?

01

Onboarding and activation

From signup to the first real product outcome.

02

Billing and subscriptions

Checkout, plans, entitlements, upgrades, cancellation, and customer self-service.

03

Roles and permissions

Team invitations, account ownership, role-based access, and the admin screens around them.

04

Focused AI workflow

One narrow AI-assisted capability with clear inputs, outputs, and human review.

The workflow must be narrow enough to test end to end and valuable enough to justify shipping now.

From blocked to ready to release.

01

Book a call

Tell me what's blocked and why it matters now.

02

Scope Day

I review the codebase, write the workflow and its acceptance criteria, and give you a go or no-go.

$500 · fully credited toward the Sprint
03

Build

I build the workflow in your repository, with a working staging checkpoint mid-Sprint.

04

Verify and hand off

I test the agreed critical paths and edge cases before final delivery.

The 10 business days start after you approve the Sprint Brief, I have the access I need, and the kickoff payment clears.

This works best when the edges are clear.

This is a good fit when

  • the B2B SaaS product is live and has paying customers
  • one workflow has clear business importance
  • repository and staging access can be provided
  • one person can make timely product decisions

This is not a good fit when

  • the company needs an entire MVP or a full redesign
  • the request is an open-ended backlog
  • repository or staging access cannot be provided
  • there is no measurable definition of done

Things I built and run myself.

paje.ai

An AI-assisted site builder. It turns a professional profile into a published website, with editing, publishing, and custom domains handled for you.

A React component library for the parts of a SaaS that always need building: billing, onboarding, user management, data tables.

A fixed engagement, not an open-ended contract.

STEP 1 · SCOPE DAY

$500

A product and codebase review. You end the day with a workflow specification, acceptance criteria, and a straight go or no-go.

STEP 2 · FOUNDING PRODUCT FLOW SPRINT

$3,000 fixed

After you approve the Scope Day plan and I have access, I build and verify one agreed workflow over 10 business days.

2 founding-client spots

$500 for Scope Day, $1,000 at kickoff, and $1,500 after the agreed staging checkpoint.

The standard Product Flow Sprint rate will be $5,000 after the two founding engagements.

If the work can't be cut down to a safe, valuable 10-day scope, I'll say so before the Sprint starts.

Work directly with the person responsible for delivery.

Forthwork is me, Florin Dobinciuc. I'm a full-stack product engineer and I ship production SaaS: frontend, backend, billing, integrations, tests.

I use coding agents to move faster, but scope, architecture, review, and final quality stay with me. No account manager, no junior delivery team.

Questions worth answering before you book a call.

What counts as one product workflow?

One complete path through your product with a clear starting point, a clear user outcome, and acceptance criteria that can be tested end to end.

What happens if the requested scope is too large?

Scope Day finds the smallest workflow that is safe, valuable, and fits the window. If the work can't be reduced responsibly, I'll recommend not proceeding, and you keep the Scope Day deliverable.

Do you work inside our repository?

Yes. The implementation lands in your existing repository and follows its architecture and conventions.

Can you guarantee a production deployment?

No. Production depends on your access, approvals, and release process. What I guarantee is a tested staging implementation or a production-ready pull request that meets the agreed acceptance criteria.

What does the 14-day warranty cover?

Bugs in the agreed workflow, measured against the agreed acceptance criteria. It does not cover new features, design changes, or scope expansion.

Who owns the delivered code?

You do, after final payment. The code stays in your repository. No lock-in.

What workflow has been sitting in your backlog too long?

The first step is the $500 Scope Day. Tell me what's blocked and why it matters, and I'll tell you straight whether it fits ten days.
