# Sample stage plan — Thorfyn

Canonical URL: https://thorfyn.com/en/sample-stage-plan

> An example stage plan for a made-up product: scope, architecture, schedule, fixed price, risks and what stays out. Fictional, not a real client.

Example: Example · made-up product, not a real client

This is how your plan arrives.

A complete stage plan for a made-up product. It is the format you receive at the end of the discovery week: six items, each one checkable.

**Class booking for neighbourhood studios.** A made-up product for this example: the student books and pays for a class, the studio sees the list of the day.

## 1 of 6 — Scope of the first stage

Every item ends with a criterion you can test. (5 items)

- **Sign-in by email link** — Done when the student signs in without a password and signs out.
- **Weekly class calendar** — Done when the studio adds a class and the student sees it.
- **Booking and cancelling** — Done when the spot drops on booking and comes back on cancelling.
- **Payment by link** — Done when a confirmed payment marks the booking.
- **List of the day for the studio** — Done when the studio can print the attendance.

## 2 of 6 — Architecture

Every choice comes with its reason. (5 choices)

- **Interface** — Next.js. One codebase for the site and the panel, rendered on the server.
- **Data** — Managed SQLite. Simple, cheap and enough for the volume of one studio.
- **Sign-in** — Email link. No password to leak or to forget.
- **Payment** — The provider's link. No card goes through our code.
- **Hosting** — Cloudflare Workers. No server to maintain; free until it grows.

## 3 of 6 — Schedule

What depends on you is shown, with the week. (4 weeks)

- **Week 1** — Sign-in by link
- **Week 2** — Calendar and bookings
- **Week 3** — Payment. Depends on you.
- **Week 4** — List of the day and release

Payment needs the provider account released by the end of week 2. The release waits for your approval.

## 4 of 6 — Fixed price

One value, no range. (1 value)

- Stage 1 · example: 6,000 USD
- 50% · Signed
- 50% · Delivered

## 5 of 6 — Risks

Every risk has a sign and an answer already chosen. (3 risks)

- **The payment provider is slow to release the account** — Sign. No access by the end of week 2. Answer. We deliver the rest and leave payment behind a switch, ready to turn on.
- **The cancellation rules change midway** — Sign. A new request after week 2. Answer. The rule lives in one place; changing it is one line, not a rewrite.
- **The studio has no student list ready** — Sign. An import asked for in week 4. Answer. It stays out of this stage and comes in the next one, with an agreed format.

## 6 of 6 — What stays out

Written down, so nobody finds out at the end. (6 items)

- Native mobile app
- Tax invoices
- A network of several studios
- Financial reports
- Migration of old data
- Loyalty programme

## Your plan, in this format.

At the end of one week, with the six items.
