Commissioning Custom Software — From an Idea to a Working System
Eight lessons that take a non-technical owner from “we need a system” to a written requirements brief any developer can price — and to knowing what to own, what to test, and what to sign.

01 — Overview
Overview
Most software projects do not fail technically. They fail because both sides signed while imagining different things, because nobody was there to decide, or because the word “done” had two meanings.
This course teaches the role that decides the outcome more than any technical choice does: yours. You write no code and need no technical background.
I teach it as the party that builds and sells these systems, and much of it makes me harder to deal with — you will write a scope that stops me expanding it, ask for acceptance criteria I am measured against, and hold a final payment until you are satisfied. That is deliberate.
02 — What you will learn

06 — Questions, answered
Questions, answered
Is this a course to make me hire you?
It teaches the opposite habit. Lesson one asks three questions that may stop the project entirely, lesson six is about not being tied to any one developer, and the capstone tells you to send your brief to three of them and compare. A course that only pointed at me would be worth nothing to you.
Do I need a technical background?
No, and you will write no code. It is written for an owner or manager who is about to commission software, or who is in the middle of a project and wants to steer it.
What do I actually walk away with?
A requirements brief written in your own hand: the problem, the users, the stories with acceptance criteria, the priorities, the phases, and the commercial terms to ask for. Plus a fifteen-line checklist to run before you sign anything.
How do I pay and get access?
There is no online payment on this site. Send the request form, I contact you personally and arrange the payment with you (cash or local transfer), then you get a one-time activation code for one device with lifetime access.
What exactly am I buying, and what if something goes wrong?
A one-time purchase with lifetime access — no subscription and no renewal. Access is bound to one device and one browser: if you change device or clear your browser data, it needs a reset, which is free and done the same business day on WhatsApp. If you have not opened the content, you can ask for a refund within 7 days of your purchase. All of this is agreed before you pay, and no payment ever happens on this site.
