Step 01 · 1-2 weeks

Validate the problem

Interview 10 HR managers or People Operations leaders at companies with 50-500 employees. Focus on their biggest headache: handbook creation, policy updates, compliance tracking or audit readiness. Get them to say yes to a pilot before writing code.

Step 02 · 4-8 weeks

Build a focused MVP

Ship a focused MVP: a policy template library, update notification system or compliance checklist. Avoid building a full HRIS replacement. Let manual workflows exist; focus on the one job your customers hate most. Four weeks to functioning prototype.

Grow and iterate

Post-launch, obsess over unit economics: customer acquisition cost, logo retention and churn. Monthly check-ins with each customer. Iterate on the template library based on what customers actually use. Build playbooks for HR onboarding partners.
