What should I prepare before planning?
Tell us who needs the product, how they handle the problem today, who makes the buying decision, and what you want to improve. The discovery workbook helps you find the gaps.
How do I decide what belongs in the MVP?
Start with the smallest complete workflow that helps your primary user. Include the data, permissions, and quality work it needs. Keep secondary workflows in later releases (Post-MVP).
What can I create in Runwise Studio?
Create an editable scope, a planning estimate, and a browser prototype with downloadable source. Starter mode uses predefined app patterns; connected AI mode can generate custom scope and source. Production accounts, shared data, payments, and integrations need further engineering and review.
Does a prototype include production accounts and shared data?
Studio generates browser prototypes. A production release needs further engineering and review for accounts, access controls, shared storage, payments, and integrations. Include that work in the agreed delivery scope.
Can I change or export the scope?
Yes. Edit the stories, groups, roles, notes, estimates, and release assignments. Undo and redo scope changes. When you download a current prototype, its source ZIP includes the full scope and deferred stories.
Is the calculator a fixed quote?
No. The calculator compares illustrative scenarios using the features, rate, allowance, and team size you choose. A reviewed Runwise proposal sets the actual price and delivery terms.
What costs should I include beyond development?
Plan for hosting, third-party services, AI usage, migration, monitoring, support, onboarding, and launch activities. The budget workbook gives you a starting structure.
How should scope changes be handled?
Record what needs to change and why. Review the effect on effort, timing, and cost with the decision-maker, then agree any revised scope and terms before committing to the work.
Who owns the source and product assets?
You can download the generated source and keep developing it. For paid work, source ownership, third-party licensing, transfer, confidentiality, and access are agreed in the contract.
What makes an AI pilot useful?
Choose one task, representative examples, and a quality threshold. Define the allowed tools, human review, failure recovery, and operating budget, so the team can assess whether the pilot helps.
Where do brief and project details go?
The public tools prepare briefs in your browser. Opening Studio transfers your selected brief to Studio. Studio keeps runs temporarily on its server and uses its AI provider if connected. Review the privacy and data page for details.
Does creating a review brief contact Runwise?
Creating or downloading the brief does not submit it. If configured, the email action opens a draft in your email app and the booking action opens the scheduling provider. You decide whether to send or book.
Have a question about your own product?
Describe the user, the problem, and the decision you need to make. Bring them together in a brief for a project review.
