Architect · 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 with the founder and 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.
A composite example. Not a real or named client.

What happens next

  1. 1You send a short inquiry through the contact form. It takes a couple of minutes.
  2. 2Within 48 hours 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.
