SaaS MVP
Scope Template
A Notion document for founders scoping their first SaaS build. Common first-release features, a stack guide, pre-build questions, and a cost signal column — so you walk into any developer conversation knowing exactly what you're asking for.
Core feature checklist
Review authentication, payments, roles, notifications and the data model before deciding what belongs in your first release.
MVP vs. nice-to-have table
A decision column for every feature: ship in v1, defer to v2, or cut entirely. Stops scope creep before it starts.
Pre-build questions
Questions to discuss with your developer before implementation: users, workflows, constraints and what a successful first release needs to do.
Stack selection guide
When to use Next.js vs. Flutter, Supabase vs. Firebase, Stripe vs. Paddle — mapped to project type.
Cost signal column
Each feature row flagged as cheap / moderate / expensive so you understand what drives your invoice before you get one.
Handover checklist
What to ask for at project end: repo access, env vars, DNS, doc links. Protects you whether you stay or switch developers.
- Founders who need to spec a build before their first developer call
- Non-technical CEOs who want to understand what they're buying before signing a proposal
- Agencies briefing a client who has never commissioned software before
- Anyone who's been handed a vague quote and doesn't know what it covers
