Developer project planning

Scope trading software before selecting a developer.

Project brief

Questions to settle before requesting a quote

Prices and timelines depend on requirements, integrations, evidence quality, security controls, and support scope. Orrnn does not publish representative rates without a real offering and defined scope.

  1. 01State the business problem, intended users, and what success can be measured without relying on profit claims.
  2. 02List markets, platforms, data sources, languages, hosting constraints, and required integrations.
  3. 03Define testing, security, monitoring, documentation, support, and acceptance criteria before development begins.
  4. 04Agree on ownership, licensing, confidentiality, credentials, change control, payment terms, and exit arrangements in writing.
Security boundary

Protect accounts, code, and data

Use least-privilege credentials, separate development and production environments, rotate secrets, log access, and document how sensitive data is stored and deleted.

Do not give a prospective developer unrestricted brokerage credentials, withdrawal permissions, or personal financial documents merely to obtain a quote.
