How the former Head of Strategy at SBS built his speech training MVP in just 15 days using our 1G methodology.
A clear vision meets technical complexity.
Nicholas Wong had a clear vision: create the only product providing cultural and pronunciation fluency training specifically for Australian English. As the former Head of Strategy at SBS with experience leading international product teams, Nick understood the market need.
"Not knowing code and how to build the backend. Other no-code solutions like Bubble only got me part of the way there and ultimately felt more like a front end system."
More than 40% of Australians have parents or themselves born overseas, creating huge demand for culturally-contextual English training.
A comprehensive speech training platform that works.
We developed a comprehensive speech training platform that allows users to:
"Your approach to requirements gathering was clear, crisp, and concise. You listened then provided feedback to clarify."— Nick's feedback
We defined the exact scope: An MVP allowing users to record five phrases and have those graded against 10 defined output metrics using Beena's backend API, deployed to production.
"Very straightforward. MOU was short and easy to understand."
Met with Nick's API developer to understand integration requirements
Created testing environment for team feedback
Collaborated with Nick to finalize MVP logic
Built core functionality with frequent updates
Weekly check-ins and immediate feedback integration
"The post-meeting write-ups and next steps have been excellent, and your communication across essential channels has been spot on. You've managed customer interactions thoughtfully—minimizing wasted time while maximizing turnaround speed."— Nick's experience
Nick provided feedback on UI/UX elements
Implemented suggestions like record button functionality optimization
Delivered fully functional MVP ahead of schedule
The collaboration that delivered exceptional results.
"Your timely feedback has helped prevent scope creep and kept the project on track for delivery. I also appreciated your practical suggestions to improve the user flow—those definitely elevated the quality of the results."
"The UI and UX are clean, with core principles well applied to make user testing seamless."
"By ensuring that I kept the momentum to completion. This is critical for development momentum - critical for the user to be timely to ensure continued momentum."
Perfect satisfaction across every metric.
Nick rated every aspect of our service 5/5:
When asked how likely he was to recommend Zorentia to other founders, Nick gave us the highest possible score.
Beyond the technical delivery.
"Having a technical co-pilot. A person able to translate outcomes into code. It's refreshing to hand over work and to have someone who will carry some of the burden. As a non technical single co founder it's an emotional assistance in some way."
"Getting an MVP is a proof point on itself for a non-technical person, an emotional state of success."
"Good. It will be used with other tests to complete cycle of feedback."— Nick on his confidence using the MVP to gather customer feedback

Using the MVP for market validation.
Nick is using the MVP as part of a comprehensive feedback cycle to validate his Australian English training concept. The platform serves as a functional proof-of-concept that demonstrates the viability of culturally-contextual pronunciation training.
"Each founder needs to make sense of their own interaction. This is process of you get what you put in."
