Requirements and scope
Clarify the users, business rules, integrations, constraints and smallest useful release.
All services
Custom software development
Build a product that can grow beyond the first release.
We turn a business requirement into a working SaaS, FinTech or operational product. Aurel “Simi” Simion leads the architecture and works directly on implementation, with collaborators added when the scope needs more capacity.
Discuss your productA good fit
When this service fits
- You are moving from an idea or prototype to a product people will depend on.
- Your business needs software that does not fit a standard off-the-shelf tool.
- You want senior technical leadership without separating architecture from delivery.
What the work can include
The exact scope depends on the product and the team already in place. Typical work covers:
Architecture
Choose a structure that matches the expected load, operating budget and the team that will maintain it.
Implementation and launch
Build the agreed product, test the important paths and prepare a controlled release.
Handover and support
Document decisions, transfer practical knowledge and agree whether ongoing architecture or delivery support is useful.
How we approach a new product
- 1
Understand the business
We start with what the product must achieve, not a preferred technology list.
- 2
Define the first safe scope
We identify assumptions, dependencies and the smallest release that can create useful evidence.
- 3
Build in visible stages
Working increments make decisions easier to inspect before more time and budget are committed.
- 4
Launch and learn
Production behaviour informs the next priorities, support needs and sensible improvements.

Relevant delivery evidence
These examples show operating scale and the type of decisions involved. Platform numbers describe the systems, not a promise that every new product will reach the same volume.

Clear boundaries from the start
A useful proposal should say what is known, what still needs discovery and what evidence will change the plan.
- We do not promise a fixed outcome before the important product and integration risks are understood.
- Ownership, licensing, hosting and handover terms are recorded in the project agreement rather than assumed.
- If you already have a technical team, the work can be divided around its strengths instead of replacing it.
- Ongoing support is an option to scope, not a condition hidden inside the build.
Questions founders usually ask
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes. Simi can lead architecture and selected implementation work while your team owns other parts. Responsibilities are made explicit during scoping.
How is scope agreed?
We document the business goal, included work, assumptions, dependencies and decision points. Unknowns that need discovery are identified before they become silent promises.
Who owns the code?
Ownership and any third-party licensing are defined in the project agreement. The technical handover is planned alongside delivery rather than left until the final week.
Do you stay after launch?
When useful, ongoing delivery or architecture support can be scoped separately. Some teams need a handover, while others want continued senior involvement.
Do we need to choose the technology first?
No. Technology follows the product constraints, existing team, integrations, operating cost and expected life of the system.

A short first conversation is enough to establish the product, current evidence and the next sensible step.
