The challenge
The client came to us with a clear goal — metered paywall, newsletters and subscriber analytics. The hard part was rights, regions and paywalls.
Our approach
We started with a short discovery sprint to map the users, the data and the constraints, then moved into weekly cycles with working software in a shared workspace. Prototyping, Development, Support and Product Research ran as one team, so research fed design and design fed engineering without handoffs.
The platform was built on Web, Payments and Reports, with automated tests and monitoring from the first release.
The result
90k subscribers. The product launched in 10 weeks and we stayed on for the releases that followed — fixing what users tripped over and doubling down on what they loved.
