Delivered C10PO end to end for Agyre: 26 months from strategic framing to a SaaS platform live in production

Agyre, the French hub for the circular economy in construction, had an idea on paper and funding to unlock. New Commerce sold and delivered the whole chain: strategic framing, product design, and a 12-sprint build run at a fixed price, with a hand-picked freelance team. The platform is now in production.

The Problem

C10PO started as applied research: a platform to connect the actors of building deconstruction (diagnosticians, demolition companies, waste collectors) around materials to evacuate, recycle, or reuse. The sector is deeply fragmented, and these actors simply do not find each other.

Agyre and its partner CERIB needed to turn a 2021 idea into a real product, with a framing file solid enough to unlock funding. Two constraints set the frame: no web scraping for collector data (public ADEME files and partnerships only) and full intellectual property transferred to the client.

Our Solution

The mission covered the full chain, from strategic framing to production release:

  • Strategic framing, solo: 14 personas, the value proposition, a backlog organized in 5 functional bricks, 3 business models compared, a business case, and a roadmap from MVP to V4.
  • Design: 7 workstreams with a team of 5 freelancers, covering brand identity, a 22-screen prototype, HD mockups, functional specs, and a technical feasibility study.
  • Build: a fixed-price contract split into 2 blocks (Beta, then MVP) across 12 sprints, with weekly sprint planning, an end-of-sprint demo, and a signed acceptance report conditioning each sprint's invoicing.
  • Acceptance and go-live: a test book per sprint, production release, a 4-week warranty period, and handover documentation.

One structuring decision came out of the design phase: dropping the no-code stack considered at framing in favor of a custom Next.js build, to handle matching, data volume, and LLM-based features. Developer sourcing was done in the open, with 3 profiles presented to the client and a documented recommendation.

Results

  • 100% of the V1 scope developed and accepted in 12 sprints.
  • The platform went live 26 months after framing began: search and automatic matching over about 10,000 waste collectors, aggregated and deduplicated from 7 public data sources, plus regulatory PEMD exports.
  • The fixed-price contract held: invoicing sprint by sprint on signed acceptance reports, no drift on billed scope.
  • A marketing website and a 45-article help center delivered alongside the product.

Key takeaway. The sprint-based fixed price with signed acceptance reports protected both sides: the client paid for what was delivered and validated, the delivery team secured its planning. Two honest points. The Beta was never put online, a decision made during the project, so the first real market contact waits for the public launch: that is the true product risk of this project. And the quality of public collector data cost several iterations on deduplication rules, contributing to a schedule slip of about 4 months on the production release.

This case is the New Commerce model in full: framing, design, build, and production, where a classic consulting firm would have stopped at the framing file.

Delivery Approach

Phase 1. Strategic framing

Solo work: 14 personas, the value proposition, a backlog organized in 5 functional bricks, 3 business models compared, a business case, and a roadmap from MVP to V4.

Phase 2. Design

7 workstreams with a team of 5 freelancers: brand identity, a 22-screen prototype, HD mockups, functional specs, and a technical feasibility study. Structuring decision: dropping no-code in favor of a custom Next.js build.

Phase 3. Build

12 sprints

A fixed-price contract split into 2 blocks (Beta, then MVP). Weekly sprint planning, an end-of-sprint demo, a signed acceptance report conditioning each sprint's invoicing, and a monthly steering committee.

Phase 4. Acceptance and go-live

A test book per sprint, production release, a 4-week warranty period, and handover documentation.
