Our MVP development agency creates your custom MVP (Minimum Viable Product) or POC (Proof of Concept): a focused, measurable test that helps you decide whether to proceed, adjust or stop.
Each format comes with defined deliverables. When code is produced, we specify the repository and access credentials that will be handed over; a prototype or POC that is not intended for reuse is clearly identified as such.
The estimate follows the scoping phase and distinguishes inclusions, exclusions, dependencies and recurring costs.
Before building, we define who should be observed, which signals are expected and which decision the test needs to inform.
After the pilot, you can continue with PeakLab, bring the project in-house or hand it over to another team.
Starting with development is not always the right decision. First, identify the main uncertainty: demand for the offer, understanding of a user journey, the feasibility of a technical point or actual product usage.
In March 2026, Bpifrance Création explains that an MVP is a coherent minimum offer tested under real-world conditions and that it complements, rather than replaces, market research. The hypothesis and observation criteria are therefore defined before code is written. These formats can overlap: an MVP may begin as a manually delivered service before it is automated.
The right format is the one that produces actionable information with the least development effort:
“Because the usefulness of a test is not measured by the number of features delivered. If a mock-up, a manually delivered service or a POC is better suited to the uncertainty, we say so before committing the budget for an MVP.”
Every deliverable connects a hypothesis, a testable version and a decision. The exact content depends on the format selected.
We define the problem, the segment, the behavior to observe and the signals that will lead you to proceed, adjust or stop. Our product management agency can take the discovery and prioritization phase further.
We map the essential journey, create the required screens and put them in front of representative users. Our product design agency steps in when comprehension and usage are the main risks.
When feasibility remains uncertain, we isolate the point to test, the dataset, the environment, the limits and the exit criterion. The POC answers that specific question; if its code is not intended for reuse, this is stated in the findings.
The backlog separates what is essential from what can wait. We deliver the code, a staging environment, critical tests, the agreed production release and useful documentation, without disguising a full V1 as an MVP.
We prepare measurement events, qualitative feedback, access rights and the pilot group. The proposal states whether PeakLab recruits testers or the client involves its business users; one metric alone cannot validate a hypothesis.
The final report brings together test results, limitations, known defects, operating costs and next-step options. You have the evidence required to iterate, prepare for wider use, change direction or stop without an imposed contractual dependency.
You delivered a product above what I expected. It's a finished product, not a small mockup. The exchanges with you brought so much to the project.

For Armodoc, PeakLab scoped and then developed an MVP that gives field teams access to technical documents using QR codes and NFC tags. The project was delivered in one month for this specific scope. After an initial presentation, its founder secured a meeting with a local authority. This timeframe describes this particular project; it is not our standard delivery time.
This case illustrates the intended sequence: limit the initial scope, put a tangible version in front of a real stakeholder, then choose the next step based on feedback. On its own, it does not prove that an entire market has been validated.
You can prepare known constraints and journeys with our requirements document generator, or compare our product and technology expertise before choosing a format.
30 minutes to understand your needs and give you a clear roadmap. No commitment.
Format, budget, timeframe, testers, security and ownership: the decisions to make before building.
In one call, we tell you what's feasible, at what price, and in what timeframe. With full transparency.
