Overview
A practicing physician approached CodeBranch with a vision for a platform that connects accident victims with vetted professional partners — attorneys, physicians, diagnostic centers, insurers, and medical transport. As a first-time software buyer with a limited budget, the client needed a partner who could translate domain expertise into a concrete, build-ready plan. CodeBranch ran a structured product definition that produced 193 estimated requirements, wireframes, user journeys, a defined technical architecture, tiered MVP scope options with budget and timelines, and a complete HIPAA compliance strategy including BAA roadmap and penetration testing plan. The scope was deliberately narrowed from ~800 to ~500 story points, focusing the MVP on two verticals — attorneys and physicians — enough to prove the core experience before scaling. The technical architecture split the stack for performance: a fast Astro public layer on Cloudflare Pages for discoverability, and a full-featured Next.js application behind the login. HIPAA compliance was designed in from the ground up, with safeguards for ePHI, BAAs with every third-party vendor, and a penetration testing roadmap.
