  • Technical Validation
    Evaluate the product to determine if the necessary technology, resources, and capabilities are available to turn the concept into a reality.
  • Tech Stack and System Architecture
    Define the set of technologies to be used and how they interact within the system. It includes selecting programming languages, databases, and other tools that will form the basis of the product's development.
  • Time & Cost Estimate on a Roadmap
    Create a high level roadmap that includes milestones and deliverables. On the back of the roadmap create an indicative time & cost estimate to understand costs and budget.
  • Team Setup for Delivery
    Create the structure and composition of the project team, outlining the roles, responsibilities, and expertise needed to execute the project effectively.

I need assistance with the technical scoping and feasibility assessment for a new mobile app I am building. I'm looking to define the technical requirements including tech stack and architecture, create a detailed project plan, and outline the architecture. Please include key milestones, deliverables, and any potential challenges with proposed solutions.

What is a Tech Gig?

A tech gig is a mini-project with a clear and concise scope, is typically under 1 month, and requires an expert to execute. Gigs should ideally require little project onboarding time.

What if I need more work done after the gig is completed?

You can continue working with the expert who executed the gig on an hourly basis.

Are gigs a good option for larger projects?

For projects over 2 months with more than 1 expert, fixed price gigs become impractical and we strongly recommend you to hire the expert(s) via upper.co, on a fixed monthly retainer or engage over an hourly 'time and materials' setup.

How many bids do I receive for a gig?

For every gig you will receive between 1 and 3 bids to review.

How do payments work?

Payments are issued in 2 phase, with UPPER in the middle for security. The first payment of 50% is done upfront to start work. The second payment is done at the end after the work has been delivered.
