How development works

STEP 1

Submit requirements

Tell us what you want to build — in plain language, no tech spec needed.

STEP 2

Scope approval

We scope the work and you approve it before anything is built. No moving goalposts.

STEP 3

Agreement & subscribe

Accept the agreement and start your managed subscription. First payment before kickoff.

STEP 4

Launch & manage

An eligible first version can launch in as little as 15 business days, then we manage it.

Clear ownership

You own your business data — always. Custom software IP rights follow your approved contract, with exceptions only for existing MediaLabs IP and third-party licences.

Fully managed means we handle hosting, maintenance and support — it does not mean unlimited development. Additional work is scoped, quoted and approved first, and any third-party costs are disclosed.
