When You Need Custom Development
Readiness criteria for custom work
Custom Platform Features
You're ready if:
- •You're making $5k+/month consistently
- •You've identified specific features Ghostcrew can't do
- •You have budget for $10k+ investment
- •You can articulate exactly what you need
You're NOT ready if:
- •You haven't validated your business model yet
- •You're still figuring out what you need
- •Budget is under $5k
- •You expect it done in 1-2 weeks
Scale & Performance
You're ready if:
- •You have real traffic/users (1000+ active)
- •You're experiencing performance issues
- •You have data to back up the need
- •Growth is constrained by tech limits
You're NOT ready if:
- •You have less than 100 active users
- •No performance problems yet
- •Platform handles your current scale fine
- •Growth is limited by marketing, not tech
Technical Partnership
You're ready if:
- •You have a technical roadmap
- •You need strategic guidance, not just coding
- •You can invest $5k+/month ongoing
- •You value long-term relationships
You're NOT ready if:
- •You just need someone to write code
- •You want project-based work only
- •Budget is under $3k/month
- •You already have a full-time CTO
When custom development is NOT right for you
- You haven't validated your idea with real users yet
- Ghostcrew platform features would work fine for your needs
- Your budget is under $5k total
- You need it done in 1-2 weeks
- You're looking for the cheapest option
We believe in honest recommendations. If this isn't right for you now, that's okay.
