Customer story
From a prototype to a letter of intent in two weeks.
Gregory Runyan spent his career in K-12 education. Using AI tools, he built a working prototype of IncidentMethod, a school incident management product for Massachusetts schools and districts. His network opened pilot conversations at a nearby public school, and those conversations were moving faster than the product. He had no engineering team and no CTO to guide the technical decisions for a launch.
He weighed a technical co-founder search, months long with no guarantee. A dev shop, which meant a spec written alone and work he could not judge. Continuing solo, which keeps the gap open. He chose a 2-week Scout sprint with Plexor Labs instead, $2,000 flat with the second $1,000 owed only on acceptance.
"I saw an opportunity rooted in a problem I'd lived myself as a school leader, and I didn't have months to spend on a co-founder search when I needed to chase it now. A dev shop was out of reach as a solo entrepreneur, and I also lacked the technical knowledge to hand off a spec and judge the work. Building it alone wasn't realistic either. A system handling sensitive student data required expertise outside my lane. Plexor's acceptance checks solved all of that: eleven standards we agreed on up front, and two weeks later I had a working demo in front of a superintendent."
What happened
He paid for the outcome, and it came with a warranty.
The sprint opened with 11 pass-or-fail acceptance checks, written together and signed before any build work started. On day 14 all 11 passed on a deployed build. Greg took that demo into a meeting with a local superintendent and left with a letter of intent.
Miss a check and we fix it and re-run. Miss it again and we do not take the payment.
Your turn
Your conversation will not wait either.
Two weeks from now you could be showing working software instead of asking for more time. You say what done looks like before anything gets built, and nothing counts as done until it gets there.
