process
Spec-driven AI development, end to end.
Four fixed-scope, fixed-price phases: Spec, Build, Loop, Own. Specloop writes the spec; you approve it before any build; we finish to production in weeks.
Phase 01
Spec
Typical duration · 2–3 days
We write the document that runs the build.
After a 30-minute scoping call, we write the full specification: user roles, data model, every screen and state, every workflow, every integration, AI behavior, and acceptance criteria. You read it, mark it up, and approve it. The spec is free, you only commit when scope, price, and timeline are written down.
Deliverables
- Written specification (typically 8–30 pages)
- Data model and schema sketch
- Screen-by-screen page list
- Acceptance criteria
- Fixed price + delivery date
Phase 02
Build
Typical duration · 3–10 days
Production code, against the spec.
We build the app exactly to the spec, database, auth, RLS policies, server functions, UI, AI features, integrations, deploy. You get a staging URL on day one and watch the build come together in real time. Everything runs on Next.js, Postgres and a stack any web developer can maintain.
Deliverables
- Live staging URL from day one
- Database, auth, RLS
- Every page from the spec, built
- AI features wired through gateway
- Integrations + webhooks
Phase 03
Loop
Typical duration · 1–3 days
One revision pass against the spec.
You test the staging build end-to-end. We hold one structured revision pass: bugs against the spec are fixed, copy and polish are tightened, edge cases hardened. Out-of-spec requests get a short addendum with a fixed price, no surprise invoices, no death-by-Slack.
Deliverables
- Bug fixes against the spec
- Polish & copy pass
- Edge-case hardening
- Optional addendum for new scope
- Production deploy
Phase 04
Own
Typical duration · Day of handover
Code, schema, deploy, docs, yours.
We hand over the source code repository, the database schema and migrations, environment configuration, deployment access, and a written handover doc that tells any web developer how the app works. There is no Specloop runtime you depend on. After launch, a care plan keeps it running if you want one.
Deliverables
- Git repository transferred
- Schema + migrations
- Deploy access (Vercel / Cloudflare / your choice)
- Handover document
timeline
How long it takes.
The spec comes first, then the build. Times run from the approved spec to launch.

One spec. Any skin.
Your product ships in your palette, the spec doesn't care what color it wears. The engineering underneath is identical.
