What These Examples Teach Us
1. Narrow Focus Wins
Products that worked:
- Mobile CRM for tradespeople (not "all small businesses")
- Booking for dog groomers (not "all local services")
- Invoice for freelancers (not "full accounting software")
Lesson: Specific > generic. Pick one user type, solve their problem extremely well.
2. Use Existing AI APIs
Every AI product used:
- OpenAI (Whisper, GPT-4, Embeddings)
- Anthropic (Claude)
None built custom models.
Lesson: Don't spend 8+ weeks training models. Use APIs, ship fast, validate first.
3. Managed Services Save Weeks
What we never build custom:
- Authentication (Supabase Auth, Clerk)
- Payments (Stripe)
- Email (Resend, SendGrid)
- File storage (Supabase Storage)
- Hosting (Vercel, Railway)
Lesson: Every custom-built service adds 1-4 weeks. Use managed services unless absolutely necessary.
4. Mobile-First or Web-First?
Mobile products:
- Habit tracking (on-the-go usage)
- CRM for tradespeople (always on-site)
- Meal prep (cooking in kitchen)
Web products:
- Document analyser (sitting at desk)
- Knowledge base (work context)
- Code snippet manager (development work)
Lesson: Build for where users actually are when they need it.
5. B2B vs B2C Pricing
B2C products: £5-25/month (must be affordable for individuals)
B2B products: £99-299/month (businesses have budgets, value time savings)
Lesson: B2B can charge more if you save time/money. B2C must be impulse-purchase price.
6. Speed to Market Matters
All products launched within 2-4 weeks.
Products that validated:
- Had 50+ users within Week 3
- Clear usage patterns by Week 4
- Payment validation by Week 6
Lesson: Longer build times = more risk, higher costs, often no better outcomes.

Ask yourself:
1. Can I describe core workflow in under 60 seconds?
Yes → Probably sprintable
No → Too complex, simplify first
2. Can users get value in first session?
Yes → Probably sprintable
No → Too much onboarding, simplify
3. Can I build it with modern managed services?
Yes → Probably sprintable
No → Might need custom architecture (longer timeline)
4. Is it one thing done extremely well or many things done okay?
One thing → Definitely sprintable
Many things → Cut scope dramatically
5. Do I need custom ML, blockchain, or hardware integration?
No → Probably sprintable
Yes → Need different approach
6. Will 50 beta users give me meaningful validation data?
Yes → Sprint makes sense
No → Need different validation approach
