Architect Workshop

You know which product candidate you want to pursue, but the design is stuck: the MVP boundary, the pricing model, the CLIN structure, and the target customer are all still open questions.

A product specification you can hand to a developer, a BD team, or an investor, with pricing, sample CLINs, and a 90-day go-to-market plan settled.

Who it's for

This engagement fits a specific situation. Here is the shape of a firm it serves well.

  • Firms with a product candidate already chosen, ideally from a completed Harvest
  • Founders past the should-we question and stuck on the how-exactly question
  • Teams that need a spec a developer or proposal writer can act on

What you walk away with

The deliverable, itemized. Every line is a concrete artifact you keep.

  • A full-day working session, founder-led, with relevant subject-matter experts
  • An MVP feature set, with what is in and what is out drawn explicitly
  • A pricing model for the product
  • Three sample CLINs ready to drop into a proposal
  • A target customer profile
  • A 90-day go-to-market roadmap with specific tasks
  • A 20 to 25 page product specification document

How it works

The engagement runs on a fixed scope and a fixed timeline. There is a defined start, a defined end, and a single deliverable. You answer questions and review output; HARBOR does the work. The timeline is full-day session within 30 days, document within 10 business days, and the scope is locked before the engagement begins, so there is no open-ended billing and no scope drift.

What's not included

A fixed scope means a clear boundary. This engagement does not cover the following.

  • Identifying or ranking product candidates, which is the Harvest Sprint
  • Building the MVP or running market validation, which is the Build Pilot
  • Implementation or staffing of the go-to-market plan

A scenario

Illustrative example
A firm finished a Harvest and knows its product candidate, but every internal meeting on the MVP boundary ends in a different answer. The Workshop runs a full day with the founder and two delivery leads, settles what ships in version one and what waits, and sets a pricing model. Ten business days later the firm has a 22-page spec with three CLINs it can put in front of a contracting officer.

This is a floor, not a quote. Final scope depends on firm size, how many contract vehicles you hold, and how much of the work is already productized. We confirm the figure in writing before anything starts.

What happens next

  1. 1You send a short inquiry through the contact form. It takes a couple of minutes.
  2. 2Within two business days you get back a scoped figure and a draft statement of work, so you know exactly what the engagement costs before any commitment.
  3. 3If it is a fit, we confirm the scope and start. If it is not, we say so and point you somewhere useful.
