- Clickable UX/UI mockups to validate the main flows early

Nothing major, overall it went smoothly.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

To run an early-stage discovery and documentation sprint for Rankforge and deliver a Vision & Scope package that turned an initial idea into a build-ready product direction, aligned stakeholders, and defined what the MVP should (and should not) include. As a result, Rankforge received a set of artefacts:

• Vision & Scope document with product goals, target users, core value proposition, MVP boundaries, assumptions/constraints, and success criteria
• Key use cases describing how customers will use RankForge end-to-end
• MVP feature list and priorities (what to build first vs later)
• Stakeholder alignment notes capturing decisions and open questions
• High-level implementation roadmap outlining next steps and phases from discovery into delivery

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project gave us an agreed Vision & Scope that clearly defined what RankForge’s MVP is (and isn’t), who it’s for, and what the top priorities are. With that in place, we were able to move straight into estimation and delivery planning, reduce open questions and rework risk, and start development with a clear, shared blueprint saving time and budget compared to a longer, less structured discovery process.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was smooth and well-organized, and everything was delivered on time. They were quick to respond, flexible with changes, and proactive when we needed input.

What was your primary form of communication with Virtual Nomad?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out was how quickly they took a rough early idea and turned it into a clear, build-ready Vision & Scope. The process was super structured, and their AI-assisted approach helped move things along without cutting corners.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Virtual Nomad could have done differently?

Nothing comes to mind. Everything went smoothly and met our expectations.
