First Milestone Guarantee

Start with a real first delivery

Start with one small, useful first delivery before going further. Tg Apps defines the scope with you, builds the agreed deliverable, and shows it working. If the agreed scope is not delivered, that step is not invoiced.

  • One clear first delivery with acceptance criteria.
  • Usually shaped as a 7 business day proof sprint when the scope allows it.
  • A clear first step, weekly demos, and month-to-month continuation after the first delivery.

Start your first milestone Reply within one business day.

What the guarantee means

  • The first step is intentionally small, concrete, and demonstrable.
  • The milestone must define scope, expected demo, required access, materials, timeline, and acceptance criteria before work starts.
  • If the agreed scope is not delivered, that initial step is not invoiced.

What can count as a first milestone

  • A functional screen, login flow, dashboard slice, backend endpoint, integration, app store build, or release blocker fix.
  • For app rescue, the first milestone can be a contracted rescue milestone after NDA and project access are in place.
  • For monthly plans, the first milestone becomes the entry point before continuing month to month.

Terms and limits

  • The guarantee depends on timely client access, materials, feedback, and decision availability.
  • Scope changes, delayed access, delayed feedback, or changed requirements can adjust the timeline and guarantee conditions.
  • Code ownership, repository handoff, and delivered assets follow the signed agreement and paid deliverables.

Start with a 7-Day Proof Sprint

A proof sprint turns the first delivery into something small, useful, and easy to review.

  • Choose one small, useful deliverable that can be demonstrated objectively.
  • Agree on what will be shown, which access is required, and what is outside the milestone.
  • Demo the result and decide whether to continue, pause, stop, or expand the monthly plan.

How we keep the first step clear

The first step works best when both sides know exactly what will be built, shown, and decided.

  • Contract and NDA come before access to private repositories, credentials, or sensitive operations.
  • Acceptance criteria make the demo objective and prevent vague expectations.
  • The goal is a practical result you can judge before expanding the monthly plan.

After the first milestone

A successful first milestone becomes the basis for a normal monthly engagement.

  • Continue with Starter, Growth, Dedicated, or a custom monthly plan.
  • Keep weekly demos, decision notes, release support, and documentation as the work continues.
  • Pause, stop, or hand off according to the agreement when the engagement no longer makes sense.

Frequently asked questions

How does the first milestone work?

We agree on a small scope, build it, and show the result working. If the agreed scope is not delivered, that step is not invoiced.

Do I need to commit to a long-term contract?

No. After the first milestone, you can continue month to month, pause, or stop.

What can be a first milestone?

A first milestone can be a functional screen, login flow, dashboard slice, integration, backend endpoint, release blocker fix, or rescue milestone for an existing app.

Do I get the source code before payment?

Code ownership, repository handoff, and delivered assets follow the signed agreement and paid deliverables.

What happens if I change the scope?

Scope changes may change the timeline, milestone definition, and guarantee conditions.

Monthly software plans

Starter, Growth, and Dedicated plans for ongoing delivery

Choose the plan by operating rhythm, not by a different service list. These plans are designed for founders, startups, SMBs, and operators who want to keep building in parallel without carrying full-time headcount too early. In many US and international markets, the model gives practical product delivery capacity for less than hiring one senior engineer. Starter is biweekly, Growth is the main weekly plan, and Dedicated adds higher availability, closer coordination, participation in your daily meetings when requested, and urgent priorities at any time within the agreement.

  • Starter: scheduled deliveries and deploys, plus a biweekly planning meeting.
  • Growth: smart allocation across mobile, web, backend, CRM, and integrations, with one weekly planning/demo meeting to review progress and set priorities.
  • Dedicated: starts at USD 3,500+/mo for the same delivery capabilities with higher availability, participation in your daily meetings when requested, and urgent priority handling at any time within the agreement.

Clear first milestone, month-to-month continuation, and a fixed plan rate while the engagement remains active. USD prices are public references. The actual monthly amount is fixed before kickoff in the billing currency agreed with the client.

You do not have to trust promises

Start with a small first delivery, see the result working, and decide the next step with more confidence. If the agreed scope is not delivered, that step is not invoiced.
