App Prototype Roadmap

Avoid building the wrong thing first

Use this roadmap to decide what's actually worth building now, what can wait, and what assumptions need validation before development.

Hands holding a phone with an app showing information

Here's what's included and what you'll walk away with.

What you'll get

A clear decision on whether your idea is worth building now

A prioritized plan for what to build first and what to delay

Reduced risk of overbuilding or spending too early

A realistic path forward aligned to your goals and budget

What we'll work through

  • The problem your idea is meant to solve and for whom
  • What's realistic given your goals, budget, and constraints
  • What to build first and what can safely wait
  • Key risks, assumptions, and overbuild traps
  • Practical paths forward using prototypes, phased builds, AI tools, or professional help

Who this roadmap is for

Intended For

  • Founders with an app or software idea they want to make realistic
  • People unsure what to build first or whether an idea is viable
  • Teams looking to reduce risk before committing to development

Not Intended For

  • Anyone ready to start full development immediately
  • People looking for production-ready designs or technical specifications

Why this roadmap exists

Many app ideas fail not because they're bad, but because the wrong things get built too early.

Build with Confidence

Focuses on deciding what's worth building before writing code or hiring developers

Realistic Tradeoffs

Accounts for feasibility, constraints, and budget instead of ideal scenarios

Reusable Plan

Outputs you can use with AI tools, another developer, or Artisanware

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Artisanware and our services.

Is this useful if my idea is still rough?

Yes. The roadmap is designed to shape early ideas into something buildable.

Will this tell me if my idea is actually viable?

Yes. We assess feasibility, risks, and realistic paths forward.

Is this a technical spec or a high-level concept?

It balances both—clear enough to build from, without unnecessary complexity.

How is this different from AI planning tools?

It weighs tradeoffs, constraints, and real-world implementation decisions.

Can I use this with another developer or team?

Yes. The roadmap is yours to use however you choose.

Does this commit me to building the app?

No. The roadmap helps you decide if and how to move forward.

Not sure how to move your idea forward?
