Production SaaS on a proven foundation · .NET / C#

The fastest way to an MVP you'll never have to rebuild.

AI devs and vibe coding get you a demo, then a rewrite once you hit real scale. I build your product on a foundation that already carries 3,500+ tests if you sell to consumers, 6,500+ if you sell to businesses. One engineer, no account managers, no handoffs.

The rebuild is what success costs you.

A throwaway MVP is cheaper, but only if it fails. Nobody rewrites a product nobody uses. The rewrite arrives precisely when it works: real users, real data, real money, and a codebase that can't carry any of it. You pay for the second build at the one moment you should be pulling ahead.

The usual path
Step
The foundation path

Vibe-code or hire AI devs. Demo in weeks

01

Your features on a foundation that already solved auth, billing, tenancy, and jobs: 3,500+ tests behind it if you're user-gated, 6,500+ if you're tenant-gated

Get users. Auth strains, billing edge cases pile up, tenancy bugs surface

02

Get users. The plumbing was built and tested before you launched, not discovered under load

Hire real engineers to rebuild, under production load, with live data to migrate

03

Keep shipping features, because there is nothing to rebuild

Pay twice, and the second time costs more. Lose months at exactly the moment you had momentum.

04

Scale on what you launched with, to 100k+ users on resource upgrades alone.

WorklaneOS, the software I run Ashersoft on, is built on one of the foundations. I don't sell anything I don't run myself.

Two foundations. Two architectures.
Your product on top.

The only architecture decision you make is the gate: does your product charge people, or companies? Everything behind that gate is already built and tested.

B2C foundation · User-gated
Monolith. Folder-bounded.

One deployable with folder-based module boundaries, simple to run and fast to iterate. Identity, subscriptions, and entitlements gate per user.

Tests · 3,500+
Proof · WorklaneOS was built on it
B2B foundation · Tenant-gated
Modular monolith. Extraction-ready.

Project-bounded modules that extract into services when scale demands it, with no rewrite. Data isolation, seats, roles, and audit gate per tenant.

Tests · 6,500+
Proof · WorklaneOS is being ported to it

Either way you scale on what you launched with, to 100k+ users on resource upgrades alone. Past that, it's a conversation, not a rewrite.

Full foundation breakdown

Fixed scope. Four steps. No retainer bleed.

01
Scope call

A free call to understand what you're building and which gate fits: user or tenant.

02
Fixed quote

Clear deliverables, honest timeline, one price. If scope changes, I re-quote and you decide.

03
Build on the foundation

Your features start where the plumbing ends. Weeks to MVP, not quarters.

04
Handover

Full source of your product, docs, and tests. The foundation stays licensed; see how it works.

How the source works

You get the full source code of your product, including the foundation it runs on: build, host, and modify it freely for your business. The foundation IP stays with me, so you can't redistribute it or build new products on top of it.
