How We Turned a Failed $150K Investment Into a Hyper-Profitable $20K App for a Leading Healthcare Business in the UK

From a $140K Disaster to a Fully Functional App in 60 Days

A leading UK healthcare provider had a bold vision: an AI-powered mental wellness app designed to support ADHD patients.

They knew the impact this app could have—real-time guidance, intelligent tracking, and accessible resources. They also knew they needed a top-tier development team to bring it to life.

So, they hired a well-known agency, invested $140,000, and waited.

16 months later, they still didn’t have a working app.

Instead of an innovative, life-changing product, they received a broken, unusable shell—clunky, riddled with issues, and completely unfit for real users. The project was dead in the water.

With their budget burned and nothing to show for it, they faced a difficult choice:
✅ Throw more money at an agency that had already failed them?
✅ Scrap the project entirely?
✅ Or find a team that could execute fast—and get it right?

That’s when they found us.

Their question was simple:
“Can you fix this?”

Our answer? Not the way they thought.

A Brutally Honest Reality Check

Most agencies would have promised a quick fix—patch the broken code, add a few updates, and call it a day.

We don’t do band-aids.

Instead, we conducted a deep technical review and delivered the hard truth:
👉 The existing code was beyond saving.
👉 Patching it would cost more time and money than starting fresh.
👉 A complete rebuild was the only viable option.

That might sound like bad news. But what we told them next changed everything:

💡 We could deliver a fully functional, production-ready app in just 60 days.
💡 For 86% less than they had already spent.

No fluff. No runaway costs. Just a clear plan to get it done—fast.

How We Delivered the Impossible in Just 60 Days

The first 90% of most projects is wasted on poor planning, miscommunication, and aimless development. We don’t operate that way.

Before writing a single line of code, we took them through our zero-risk scoping process (for free):

✅ Technical Feasibility Check – Could we actually deliver their vision? Yes.
✅ Comprehensive Development Roadmap – Every step mapped out before we started.
✅ Design-First Approach – Full Figma prototypes before development. No surprises.
✅ Strategic Tech Stack Selection – Built for scale, speed, and long-term sustainability.
✅ Code Review of the Previous Agency’s Work – Determined that starting fresh was the only way forward.

Once everything was aligned, we executed with surgical precision—building for both iOS and Android simultaneously using AI-driven engineering systems to cut development time by over 50%.

No wasted time. No ambiguity. Just execution.

The Transformation: A $140K Failure Turned Into a Market-Ready App

In just 60 days, we delivered what they had waited 16 months for:

✅ A fully functional, production-ready app.
✅ Built from scratch, with zero compromises.
✅ Cost: $19,800—86% less than what they originally spent.
✅ Immediate user adoption, thanks to real-time mental health support.
✅ Scalable and future-proof, requiring zero post-launch rework.

And the best part?

It wasn’t just a success for the provider—it was a game-changer for the ADHD community.

Instead of a failed project, they now had a powerful tool actively helping users—providing 24/7 mental health support, intelligent behavior tracking, and real-time resources.

The healthcare provider, once struggling with tech innovation, is now positioned as a leader in digital mental wellness.

Why This Worked (And Why Most Agencies Fail)

The difference between success and failure wasn’t luck—it was our process.

📌 No runaway budgets.
📌 No endless delays.
📌 No second-guessing.

Every feature, every line of code, every decision was pre-mapped, validated, and executed with absolute precision.

The result? A fully functional, scalable app in weeks, not years.

Want to Avoid Costly Development Mistakes?

Most teams overcomplicate software development—wasting months (or years) and burning through budgets without ever shipping a usable product.

We eliminate that risk before you even start.

We’ll build you a free, detailed development roadmap & design blueprint—the same process we use to eliminate risk and deliver in record time.
