Services.

A practical service map for founders and small teams. Start with the option that answers the most important uncertainty first: audit, iOS-first MVP, product repair, AI workflow or AI/search visibility setup.

service chooser

Decide the first safe move before you ask for a quote.

The job of this page is to stop a bad first purchase. Pick the right starting point, test the budget, check the work examples and send a brief only when the next decision is clear.

next step Pick the smallest safe option

Audit, MVP build, repair, AI workflow or visibility setup based on the current product or public-discovery question.

budget Test the price band

Separate disposable validation from a build that must survive iOS, data, admin, deployment and handoff.

builder Check the sources

Ask who owns scope, non-goals, release readiness, AI review, change control and exit notes.

work Read work examples

Match your situation to real work examples before trusting a proposal or portfolio claim.

brief Send five facts and one question

Get a fit read, likely service, what to check next, price band and smallest paid next step before spend.

30-second service guide

Pick the first safe move before the quote conversation starts.

You should not need a call just to know where to start. Use the current situation, choose the smallest useful option and ask EV1 what must be true before larger spend.

Send five-fact brief Validate EV1
  1. Unclear scope Choose audit before buying build time.
  2. Real first user Choose MVP build only when release readiness and handoff matter.
  3. Existing product stuck Choose repair before funding a rebuild.
  4. Repeated work Choose AI workflow when review, data and owner control can be defined.
  5. Hard to find or verify Choose AI/search visibility when pages, profiles and public sources are inconsistent.
  6. Disposable test Choose cheaper AI/no-code or stop when the output can be thrown away.
what each service returns

Each service should leave you with something usable.

A strong service menu should say what you get before the next invoice. Every EV1 engagement should end with a clear answer: continue, repair, build, use a cheaper option or stop.

Check spend gate Send work-led brief
  1. Audit returns First user, workflow, platform, main concern, non-goals and smallest paid step.
  2. MVP build returns Core flow, admin/data, deployment, validation and no lock-in.
  3. Repair returns Useful core, blocker rank, launch plan and rebuild boundary before larger spend.
  4. AI workflow returns Sample inputs, human review, unsafe-output behavior, data control and operator handoff.
  5. Visibility setup returns Source map, structured data, profile consistency, indexing priorities and no-guarantee boundary.
  6. Stop rule returns No-code, cheap sprint, no-fit or pause protects the budget better than EV1 time.
commercial starting point

A paid step should start with a written boundary, not trust in momentum.

Before money moves, you should know the service, scope boundary, acceptance rule, access limits and what you keep if the work stops. The first paid step should be easy to justify before a larger build is discussed.

Read cost logic Send bounded brief
  1. Written start Audit, MVP build, repair, AI workflow, cheaper option or no-fit before a quote becomes serious.
  2. Scope and non-goals What is included, what is parked and what must not silently grow into the paid step.
  3. Acceptance rule How we know the paid step is done: decision memo, working flow, repair slice or workflow note.
  4. Access boundary Credentials, production data and private systems wait until fit, scope and trust are agreed.
  5. What the client keeps You know what remains if work stops: notes, setup, decision notes, working slice or next-build map.
start packages

Start with one clear decision, not the whole project on day one.

Exact pricing follows scope, but the first paid step should be easy to understand: what is checked, what is returned, what is not included and where the work stops.

01 / audit sprint

Product audit

Use when the first user, workflow, platform, budget or release route is still unclear.

You get
Decision memo, decision notes, budget band and smallest paid next step.
Not for
A build scope that is already locked and only needs execution.
Start with audit
02 / build track

iOS-first MVP build

Use when a real first user exists and version one must survive real product use.

You get
Working iOS or web+iOS flow, admin/data setup, release gates and no lock-in.
Not for
A disposable prototype, one-screen demo or unvalidated feature pile.
Start MVP build
03 / repair track

Product repair track

Use when an existing app has value, but UX, data, auth, admin or release blocks launch.

You get
Blocker rank, repair slice, launch plan, rebuild boundary and handoff notes.
Not for
A blind rewrite before the useful core and real blocker are known.
Start repair
04 / AI pilot

AI workflow pilot

Use when repeated intake, support, quoting or review work needs structured AI help.

You get
Workflow map, sample runs, human review rule, unsafe-output boundary and operator handoff.
Not for
Black-box automation that acts without review, source control or accountable operation.
Start AI workflow
05 / discovery setup

AI/search visibility setup

Use when a company is hard to find, hard to verify or inconsistently described across sources.

You get
Source map, profile copy, structured data, llms.txt, indexing checklist and no-guarantee boundary.
Not for
A promise to force rankings, AI answers or ad results that no one can honestly guarantee.
Start visibility setup
step selector

Choose the smallest useful option.

Most buyers do not need a longer menu. They need a safe next decision, a clear owner and enough clarity to avoid the wrong first build.

scope unclear Choose audit

If you are not sure what should be built first, start by locking user, workflow, concern and budget boundary.

new product Choose MVP build

If there is a real first user and the first useful version needs iOS, web admin, data and release planning.

existing app Choose product repair

If the product exists but the critical flow, release, admin, data or mobile UX blocks launch.

repeated work Choose AI workflow

If repeated intake, support, quoting or review work needs structured AI help with human control.

public discovery Choose AI/search visibility

If your website, profiles, work examples and AI-readable sources do not make the company easy to find or verify.

offer standard

Clear next step before price

The first decision is whether the product needs audit, MVP build, repair or AI workflow. Price should follow scope, not guessing.

offer standard

Fit check before build

Strong work starts by checking first user, decision owner, budget boundary, platform need and release readiness before heavy spend.

offer standard

Visible delivery

Progress should show working product flows, resolved blockers, release gates and handoff notes, not just status language.

offer standard

Control after launch

The client should leave with repo access, setup notes, deployment knowledge and a next-build map that another team can understand.

service questions

The questions a careful buyer asks first.

A good service page should help you compare options before a call. These are the checks that protect budget, scope and future control.

Which EV1 Labs service should I start with?

Start with the smallest step that reduces uncertainty. Choose product audit when scope is unclear, MVP build when the first user and release plan is real, product repair when an existing app is blocked, AI workflow when repeated work needs structured review and handoff, and AI/search visibility when the public page is hard to verify.

When should I choose product audit instead of MVP build?

Choose audit when the first user, workflow, platform, release plan or budget boundary is still unclear. The audit should make the next paid build decision safer.

When is MVP build justified?

Use MVP build when version one needs real iOS or web+iOS execution, auth, data, admin, deployment, validation and no lock-in, not only a disposable demo.

What if I am comparing other builders?

Compare named owner, written non-goals, release checks, AI review boundaries, change control and exit notes. EV1 Labs is strongest when product judgment, build, release readiness and handoff need one owner.

What should I ask to see before spend?

Ask to see the closest concrete signal: working product flow, release gate, admin or support flow, validation notes, repair map, AI review boundary or no lock-in.

client summary

Leave with control, not dependency.

The target output is a scope record, working product or repair map, deployment plan, validation notes and no lock-in.
