The path at a glance · choose a stage
Understand the solutions, research the buyer and choose one useful job before choosing software.
Package a bounded offer, build a demonstration and test what happens when the normal journey fails.
Build a credible presence, then use the organic, outreach, partnership or optional paid routes that fit your plan.
Practise discovery, agree clear scope and prepare onboarding, handover and ongoing care.

Who made it
I’m Quam. I run Agentryx, a software studio. This roadmap comes from building for clients, and it includes the mistakes that taught me the most.
It is a plan, not a promise. Ten weeks is a suggested learning sequence, not a promise of a client or income. Take longer where you need more practice.
