Start with the important user journey
Ownership and deployment clarity
We identify who uses the system, what they need to accomplish and what proves the first release is useful. That keeps feature lists connected to business needs.
Acceptance criteria you can review
Review the work against the agreed user journeys and acceptance criteria.
In our clients’ words.
“The quality and the professionalism they provided is top notch of multi-million dollar companies.”
“ICM did a great job, on time and within specified budget.”

WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Your Custom business software project, clearly defined.
Founders and operating teams ready to validate an application, portal or internal system.
Discovery and specification
The brief defines the exact discovery and specification required for custom business software. We show the named output at its review milestone and record any data, access or third-party dependencies before handover.
Working software
The brief defines the exact working software required for custom business software. We show the named output at its review milestone and record any data, access or third-party dependencies before handover.
Testing and handover
Run agreed representative cases and record the outcome and remaining limitations. Results identify the tested environment and coverage; they do not imply that every device, attack or future business condition was tested.
Scope and requirements
Delivery is phased against approved scope, not an open-ended feature promise.
Any additional work is scoped and priced for your approval.

What is included?
Includes Discovery and specification, Working software and Testing and handover. Delivery is phased against approved scope, not an open-ended feature promise.
Is the first prototype production-ready?
No. It helps validate the idea and interaction. Security, data handling, error states and release testing belong to the implementation stages.
Who owns the application?
The agreement identifies your delivered code, repository, accounts and any third-party components or licenses.
Can we add features later?
Yes. Additional work is estimated against a backlog so it does not silently change an agreed package or milestone.
