Blueprint

Objo Internal Tool Build (7-10 days)

A fixed-scope delivery playbook for agencies building one client internal dashboard or data tool in Objo Studio, compiled to a self-contained executable so the client never installs a runtime or buys a license.

Prerequisites
  • Objo Studio installed on the delivery machine (macOS, Windows, or Linux) with the £8.25/month per-developer license activated
  • A signed scope naming exactly one client workflow to replace, plus read access to the source spreadsheet or database
  • Client brand assets and a decision-maker available for a single mid-build review
  • A named deployment target: client workstations for a desktop binary, or a host the agency controls for a server-side web app, since hosting is not included
  • One developer who has completed a throwaway Objo project end to end, including a build for a second operating system
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Scaffold the client project in Objo Studio and set the build targets the scope calls for (desktop, server-side web, or command line)
  • 2.Map the existing spreadsheet or database columns to typed fields in the statically typed Objo language
  • 3.Confirm the AI assistant route for the engagement: local via Ollama or LM Studio, or hosted via OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini
  • 1.Lay out the primary data-entry form in the drag-and-drop designer and bind each control to its typed field
  • 2.Build a searchable list screen for the client's core records
  • 3.Set validation rules so malformed entries are rejected at the form rather than at the database
  • 1.Wire the app to the client's data source and load a real sample of records
  • 2.Run the breakpoint debugger against the load routine and inspect variables where counts or types diverge from the source
  • 3.Log every field the client's spreadsheet holds but the app currently ignores
  • 1.Apply client branding to the designer screens: colours, logo placement, and window or page titles
  • 2.Add the secondary workflow the scope allows, such as an export or a status change action
  • 3.Walk the client decision-maker through the running build and capture change requests in writing
  • 1.Profile the app and pinpoint performance bottlenecks on the slowest screen
  • 2.Fix the top bottleneck and re-profile to confirm the improvement
  • 3.Freeze scope: any request beyond the signed workflow moves to a priced phase two
  • 1.Compile the self-contained executable for the client's operating system
  • 2.Compile a second target if the client runs mixed machines, since one license covers desktop, web, and command-line output
  • 3.Verify the binary runs on a clean machine with no Objo Studio installed
  • 1.Deploy to client workstations or to the agency-controlled host, and confirm the app reaches its data source from that location
  • 2.Write the installation and rollback note the client's IT contact will follow
  • 3.Record a short usage walkthrough for the client's staff
  • 1.Train client staff on the app and observe them complete the workflow unaided
  • 2.Collect defects found in live use and triage them into fix-now versus phase-two
  • 3.Hand over the compiled build plus the installation documentation
  • 1.Fix triaged defects and recompile
  • 2.Confirm the client can reproduce the original manual workflow's output from the app alone
  • 3.Agree the support window and what happens when the 12 months of updates lapse
  • 1.Deliver the source project files and a build note covering the Objo version used
  • 2.Close out with a written statement of what the app does not do
  • 3.Pitch the maintenance retainer covering future Objo releases and small change requests
$2,500 to $6,000 per engagement, against a tool cost of £8.25/month per developer on the Objo Studio license7-10 days
ROI Logic

The only hard tool cost is £8.25/month per developer, so a single $2,500 build covers the license for years of delivery. Margin comes from the fixed scope and the compiled output: the client receives a self-contained executable and needs no Objo Studio license of its own, which removes the per-seat objection that stalls most internal tool pitches. Agencies that reuse the same form and list patterns across clients can cut build days on the second and third engagement without cutting price.

Deliverables
  • Compiled self-contained executable for the client's operating system, with no runtime dependency on the host machine
  • Objo Studio project files with the drag-and-drop designer screens and typed data bindings
  • Installation and rollback note written for the client's IT contact
  • Recorded usage walkthrough for client staff
  • Written scope statement listing what the app does not cover, plus a priced phase-two list
Definition of Done

The client's staff complete the target workflow in the compiled Objo app on a machine with no Objo Studio installed, and the output matches what the replaced spreadsheet produced.
