What had to be solved first
GridProof needed to reduce setup complexity while shipping side-project to product in a reliable way suitable for a 2 person team organization.
How the team executed
Started from ShipAI.today defaults for auth, billing, and deployment-ready architecture.
Scoped the first release around one core flow: side-project to product.
Used a steady release cadence with clear boundaries across UI, API routes, and data model changes.
What changed after launch
“We used this to spin up an internal tool first, then converted it into a customer-facing product.”
