From MVP to production SaaS without a rewrite

Scope the MVP honestly

Cut features, not quality bars for data integrity, auth, and deployment hygiene.

We applied this building Pocket Coach AI—viability scoring and AI teammates shipped in a Next.js shell that could grow without a ground-up rewrite.

Patterns that age well

1. Clear domain boundaries between billing, core app, and integrations
2. Feature flags instead of hard forks for experiments
3. Automated deploys from the first production environment

When to invest more

Add multi-tenancy hardening, audit logs, and backup strategy before revenue-critical launches—not after.
