A Proven MVP Partner for Washington, D.C.’s High-Stake Projects

Cabot Solutions bridges Silicon-Valley speed with Beltway resilience. Over the last decade, we’ve helped venture-backed startups, federal agencies, and Fortune 500 firms navigate the unique regulatory and security demands of the D.C. market while delivering nimble, customer-centric products.

Our cross-functional squads follow a battle-tested, Design Thinking-driven approach that compresses months of discovery into actionable insights in weeks. Leveraging automated CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and rigorous QA, we keep release cycles short without sacrificing quality or compliance.

Clients value our transparency: every sprint ends with a live demo, detailed burndown charts, and clear next steps. With headquarters minutes from Capitol Hill, we offer on-site workshops, real-time collaboration, and 24/7 support aligned to Eastern Time. The result? An MVP that secures buy-in from internal stakeholders and early customers alike—delivered on budget, on deadline, and on message.

Our 5-Step MVP Delivery Framework

  1. Discovery & Validation (Week 1-2)
    We start by dissecting your idea through stakeholder interviews, competitor audits, and market sizing. We map user journeys, define the core value proposition, and identify success KPIs. A rapid feasibility analysis ensures technical and regulatory alignment, while lean canvases clarify business model assumptions.

  2. Experience Design & Interactive Prototyping (Week 3-4)
    UX researchers translate discovery insights into information architecture, wireframes, and clickable prototypes. We conduct guerrilla testing with real D.C. users to validate usability and refine feature prioritization. The result is a shared vision that minimizes rework during development.

  3. Agile Build & Integration (Week 5-10)
    Cross-functional squads tackle development in two-week sprints. Continuous integration, automated testing, and daily stand-ups keep everyone aligned. Mid-sprint demos and burndown charts provide full transparency. APIs, third-party services, and compliance controls are integrated early to avoid bottlenecks.

  4. Launch, Monitor & Learn (Week 11-12)
    We deploy to a secure staging environment for user acceptance testing, followed by production launch on AWS GovCloud, Azure, or GCP. Real-time monitoring dashboards track engagement, performance, and error rates. Structured A/B tests validate hypotheses and fuel rapid iteration.

  5. Scale & Support (Post-Launch)
    Post-launch, we handle hot-fixes, feature sprints, and infrastructure scaling. Weekly analytics reviews surface actionable insights, while dedicated DevOps ensures uptime SLAs. Our growth team advises on funding decks, investor demos, and roadmap prioritization to keep momentum high.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the typical timeline for an MVP?
Most of our Washington, D.C. clients launch within 8–12 weeks. Timeline depends on scope, feature complexity, and compliance requirements (HIPAA, FedRAMP, etc.). A detailed Gantt chart is provided after discovery, outlining sprint dates, milestones, and stakeholder review sessions.

2. How much does MVP development cost?
Projects start at $40k for a single-platform MVP (web or mobile). Larger, multi-platform builds with advanced integrations range from $80k–$150k. We offer fixed-price, milestone-based, or time-and-materials models. Every estimate includes a work-breakdown structure, risk buffer, and optional features list.

3. Can you work with our existing in-house team?
Yes. We routinely embed alongside in-house designers, engineers, or compliance officers. Shared Slack channels, sprint rituals, and Git branching strategies keep collaboration seamless. We’re comfortable co-owning repositories or acting as the sole code custodian.

4. Do you handle government security standards?
Absolutely. Our engineers hold active security clearances, and we have delivered FedRAMP Moderate, FISMA, and ITAR-compliant systems. We incorporate NIST 800-53 controls, conduct STIG scans, and prepare your documentation for authorization to operate (ATO) if required.

5. What happens after launch?
We offer three post-launch packages—Maintain, Optimize, and Scale. Maintain covers 24/7 monitoring and bug fixes. Optimize adds monthly feature sprints and growth analytics. Scale includes performance tuning, multi-region deployment, and new-market localization.
