Editing Development Plan & Payment Structure

We propose a four-phase development plan with a total budget of '''USD 100,000'''. The payment structure is as follows:

# '''Deposit''': 10% of the total amount, paid upfront.
# '''Phase Payments''': Once each phase is completed and approved, payment for the next phase is released:
#* Phase 1: 20%
#* Phase 2: 30%
#* Phase 3: 40%

'''Refund Policy''': After each phase is completed, if the deliverables do not meet the agreed-upon requirements, you can request a full refund of the '''deposit''' (10%). This ensures peace of mind and shared confidence in the project’s success.

=== Estimated Timeline ===
While the overall project duration is expected to be around '''4 months''', each phase has its own estimated duration:

# '''Phase 1: Research & Planning (2–4 weeks)'''
#* '''Goals''':
#** Clarify project requirements
#** Select technology stack
#** Establish initial design flow and create prototypes
#* '''Outcome''': A clear project roadmap with well-defined functional requirements and initial prototypes.
# '''Phase 2: Prototype/MVP Development (2–3 months)'''
#* '''Goals''':
#** Implement core features:
#*** Image upload
#*** Background removal
#*** Basic copywriting generation
#*** Sharing functionality
#** Develop a minimal viable product (MVP) to test feasibility
#* '''Outcome''': A functioning MVP that validates critical assumptions and demonstrates core functionalities.
# '''Phase 3: Iterative Improvements (2 months)'''
#* '''Goals''':
#** Enhance AI capabilities
#** Add editing tools
#** Improve UI/UX interactions
#** Integrate subscription and trial logic
#** Implement basic data analytics
#* '''Outcome''': A refined version of the MVP with improved performance, user experience, and monetization features.
# '''Phase 4: Beta Release (4–6 weeks)'''
#* '''Goals''':
#** Conduct targeted beta testing in specific regions or user groups
#** Gather feedback and fix issues
#** Finalize deployment and prepare marketing materials
#* '''Outcome''': A polished beta version ready for a broader launch, complete with a clear deployment strategy and promotional plan.

=== Next Steps ===

* '''Contract & Deposit''': Sign the development contract and pay the 10% deposit to initiate Phase 1.
* '''Phase-by-Phase Approval''': At the completion of each phase, you will have the opportunity to review and approve the deliverables. If satisfied, payment for the next phase will be released, allowing work to proceed.
* '''Flexible Collaboration''': We will work closely with you throughout each phase to incorporate feedback and ensure the product aligns with your vision.
