  • Core delivery model: Live online private sessions, 25 minutes each, 4 times weekly, with the same tutor.

  • Positioning: Research-backed, relationship-based tutoring with clear progress updates for families.

  • Planning horizon: Q2 2026 to Q1 2027.

MVP/MSP Snapshot

Stage

Goal

Timeframe

Go/No-Go Signal

MVP (minimum viable product)

Prove family demand, session consistency, and measurable reading progress

Q2-Q3 2026

Free-session-to-paid conversion >=25%, weekly attendance >=75%, and reading gains visible in 6-8 weeks

MSP (minimum sellable product)

Ship scalable, retention-ready subscription product with repeatable growth channels

Q4 2026

Month-3 paid retention >=75%, tutor continuity >=85%, gross margin >=65%, and NPS >=50

Core Principles

  • Outcome-led planning over feature-led planning.

  • Frequency and tutor continuity as core product design, not optional add-ons.

  • Family trust through transparent communication, pricing clarity, and consistent progress reporting.

  • Privacy, child safety, and reliability treated as core product features.

  • Cross-functional ownership across Product, Engineering, Tutor Operations, Curriculum, GTM, and Success.

  • Fast feedback loops tied to conversion, attendance, and learner confidence gains.

Suggested Execution Sequence

  1. Validate MVP with free-session onboarding and 8-12 week family cohorts.

  2. Harden tutor matching, scheduling reliability, and weekly progress reporting.

  3. Launch MSP packaging, pricing plans, and lifecycle retention programs.

  4. Scale acquisition through referrals, content campaigns, and partnership channels.

  5. Institutionalize governance, risk controls, and quarterly business reviews.

  6. Maintain requirements traceability, critical-path control, and gate-based release decisions.
