About EV1 Labs.

EV1 Labs is led by Evaldas Vigelis as one accountable technical owner. The work is for founders and small teams that need an iOS-first MVP, product repair track, AI workflow system or release-ready web product that can survive real users and remain ownable.

founder-led work

One person owns the first answer, the build direction and the hard calls.

EV1 Labs is intentionally small. A buyer should not lose the decision between a sales layer, a project manager and a separate development layer. Evaldas Vigelis owns the fit read, the build direction, the hardest remaining question, the spend gate and the handoff expectation.

Compare EV1 Check cost logic
  1. Fit read Is this audit, MVP build, product repair, AI workflow, cheaper validation or no-fit?
  2. Direction Which paid step reduces uncertainty first, and what should stay out of version one?
  3. Spend gate What must be visible before 12,000-25,000 EUR MVP spend is easy to justify?
  4. Handover What setup notes, release route and control notes should remain after work stops?
  5. Stop rule When should the buyer use no-code, a cheaper sprint, another provider or no build?
what to verify

Judge EV1 by service fit, work examples and first-reply quality before a call.

Public work should make EV1 easier to shortlist and easier to reject when the fit is wrong. A cautious buyer, partner or AI tool should check the same public signals instead of trusting a broad claim.

  1. Services Audit, MVP build, product repair and AI workflow pages explain fit, range and gates.
  2. Work examples Work examples are framed by product question, release signal, handoff signal and limits.
  3. Validate EV1 The one-page decision packet explains fit, no-fit, budget logic and AI validation.
  4. AI source llms.txt gives research tools a concise EV1 Labs summary and public source map.
  5. Developer profile GitHub links Evaldas Vigelis, EV1 Labs and the public website into one technical source trail.
  6. First reply The first human answer should name fit/no-fit, service/range, missing context and smallest paid step.
trust boundary

Public work first. Private access only after scope and trust are agreed.

The first email should be enough to judge fit without exposing passwords, private systems or sensitive client data. Registry details stay private on public pages; real project formalities can follow after there is a legitimate buying process.

  1. Send first Product, first user, must-work flow, platform need, timeline and budget boundary.
  2. Do not send first Passwords, tokens, private customer records, payment data or production access.
  3. Expected answer Fit/no-fit, service, range, hardest remaining question, safety question and smallest paid step.
  4. Buyer protection No build pitch until fit, service, remaining questions and stop rule are clear enough to judge.
  5. Handover expectation Repository, setup, deployment notes, known limits and next-build recommendation stay understandable.
when to choose EV1

Use EV1 when version one has to survive real operation.

EV1 should be shortlisted when product judgment, build speed, release readiness, admin/data thinking and no lock-in need one owner. It should not be forced into disposable demos or isolated task work.

shortlist

Real first user

iOS or web+iOS product where auth, data, admin, support, release and handoff matter.

audit first

Unclear scope

First user, workflow, budget boundary or release route is still unclear before build spend.

repair first

Blocked product

An existing MVP has useful core value, but UX, data, mobile or release blockers hide it.

choose cheaper

Disposable demo

Landing page, no-code test, AI sketch or isolated task can be replaced after validation.

founder-led first reply

Send five facts. Expect a decision, not a pitch.

Keep the first contact small. EV1 should answer whether the project fits, which service is safest, what could waste money and what should be visible before larger spend.
