Week 1 · Discover and prioritize
An MVP is a minimum viable product: a bounded, working solution for an agreed business need. Genellipse plans delivery within 6 weeks. Agree the scope, available interfaces, authorized access, client reviewers, and decision dates at the start. Keep broader transformation work in a separate roadmap.
Genellipse contribution
Map the workflow, identify friction and dependencies, and propose a bounded first engagement.
Your team contribution
Provide process owners, current performance measures, representative examples, and constraints.
Decision and output
An agreed problem statement, baseline, scope, and success criteria.
Week 2 · Confirm fit and design
Test the proposed configuration against representative work before committing to broader implementation.
Genellipse contribution
Prepare a demonstration or MVP design, integration assessment, and evaluation plan with explicit assumptions.
Your team contribution
Nominate reviewers and approve the test data, access boundaries, and acceptance criteria.
Decision and output
A recorded fit assessment, architecture outline, cost assumptions, and a go, revise, or stop decision.
Weeks 3–4 · Configure and integrate
Connect the agreed systems and configure the workflow in the approved environment.
Genellipse contribution
Implement the scoped configuration, interfaces, exception routes, and operational documentation.
Your team contribution
Supply authorized environments and access, resolve source-system dependencies, and review business rules.
Decision and output
A tested configuration with known limitations, change records, and integration evidence.
Weeks 5–6 · Validate and deliver the MVP
Validate the agreed MVP workflow, including failure paths and human intervention. Complete acceptance, training, and the handover pack within the planned MVP window.
Genellipse contribution
Support functional and control testing, user training, runbooks, and the rollout recommendation.
Your team contribution
Complete business acceptance, professional review, security review, and operational readiness decisions.
Decision and output
An acceptance record, trained owners, escalation routes, and a release decision.
After the MVP · Plan wider rollout
Use the accepted MVP and measured findings to decide the next production or expansion phase. Wider rollout has its own scope, readiness criteria, and schedule.
Genellipse contribution
Support the agreed rollout, observe early performance, and review issues against the baseline.
Your team contribution
Operate the agreed controls, collect user feedback, and approve changes in scope or authority.
Decision and output
A stabilization review and an evidence-based plan to improve or expand.
After the MVP · Operate as a partnership
Support arrangements are defined for the engagement. Establish ownership before production, and revisit it as the use case evolves.
An operational agreement
Confirm support hours, incident classification, response targets, environment responsibilities, maintenance, and change control.
A regular value review
Review throughput, effort, quality, cost, and user experience together. Distinguish additional team capacity from realized expense reductions.
A durable handover
Maintain documentation, knowledge transfer, and export or transition arrangements so the customer retains a clear operating picture.
Readiness is part of delivery, not an administrative detail
Use a short readiness review before the six-week plan starts. Every dependency needs an owner, a due date, and an alternative if it is late.
Representative information
Supply sanitized examples that include the difficult cases: corrections, incomplete records, duplicated events, and genuine business exceptions. A clean sample can conceal the work that dominates production effort.
Access and environments
Confirm approved test environments, credentials, connectivity, supplier participation, and permissible data use. Decide whether a simulated interface is sufficient for an early test and label that limitation in the acceptance report.
Review capacity
Reserve time for operational users, data owners, security reviewers, and the sponsor. Decisions that take two weeks can consume a third of the delivery window even when engineering is on schedule.
An acceptance pack that supports a real decision
The final conversation should explain what works, where it fails, what it costs, and what must change before broader use.
Evidence and limitations
Include scope, configurations, test records, baseline comparisons, unresolved issues, and the limits of the sample. Separate demonstrated behavior from future requirements.
Controlled expansion
Add products, locations, or higher-risk actions only after reviewing capacity, security, reconciliation, training, and support implications. Keep the earlier tested configuration recoverable.
Change and adoption
Train users on exception decisions, not only button sequences. Name a service owner, establish feedback and release routes, and measure whether users can complete work without informal workarounds.
