The scenario
What this looks like in practice.
A solo founder had an idea for a client portal that kept getting deprioritized behind roadmap items — writing a spec, waiting for a sprint slot, watching three other priorities jump the queue. She described it to Couldi on a Saturday morning, reviewed the plan, and had a live URL to share with early users by Sunday afternoon. She gathered real signal in a week of actual use before it ever touched engineering time.
What gets built
Real examples.
Customer-facing MVPs and landing tools
Internal admin panels
Client portals and intake forms
Experiments you can kill without sunk cost
How it works here
Describe what you want to validate. Couldi writes the plan — a PRD and technical spec you can read and approve. Run an automated security audit before deploying to a live URL. Export the code or push it to GitHub if it graduates to the roadmap. If it doesn't, you spent a weekend, not a sprint.
