Fractional CTO / SaaS Solution Architect (AI Assessment Platform – MVP Build)

Upwork

USPosted 12 days ago

We are building a proprietary enterprise AI diagnostic and transformation system (AI Compression™ Report Engine).

The system is already fully designed and locked across 8 layers, covering:

signal capture

scoring and weighting

interaction logic

interpretation engine

compression identification

mapping engine

executive report generation

activation framework (C.O.D.E Framework®)

intervention prioritisation

👉 This is NOT a concept-stage project

👉 This is a system translation and build execution project

We now need a senior technical partner to:

translate this locked system into software architecture

define the MVP build structure

design the database and engine logic

guide or implement the first working version

🎯 Objective

Build the first working MVP of a SaaS platform that can:

Run structured assessments (multi-format inputs)

Process responses through governed logic

Generate:

Executive Signal Reports

Compression Alignment Maps™

Support:

tiered outputs (Lite / Basic / Comprehensive)

multi-unit aggregation

post-report progression pathways

🧠 What You’ll Be Working With

You will be given:

Fully locked system architecture (Layers 1–8)

Defined logic for:

scoring (CRI / CVI)

interaction markers

interpretation rules

compression formations

mapping logic

report structure

activation framework (C.O.D.E)

Clear output structure and constraints

👉 Your job is NOT to redesign the system

👉 Your job is to translate it into working software

🔧 Scope of Work

Phase 1 — Architecture & System Translation

Translate system layers into technical architecture

Define:

services / modules

API structure

data flow

Design database schema (PostgreSQL or similar)

Define rules engine structure

Phase 2 — Product Definition (PRD)

Create:

Product Requirements Document (PRD)

user flows

assessment flows

report generation logic

Define:

tier behaviour (Lite / Basic / Comprehensive)

map rendering logic

progression pathways

Phase 3 — MVP Build (or Lead Build)

Build or lead build of:

assessment UI (forms, flows)

backend logic engine

report generator

basic map visualisation layer

Ensure system respects:

naming discipline

output structure

tier governance

scope fidelity

🧱 Suggested Tech Stack (Open to Your Recommendation)

Frontend: Next.js / React

Backend: Node.js (or equivalent)

Database: PostgreSQL / Supabase

Hosting: Vercel / AWS / similar

Optional:

AI-assisted report generation (controlled, not generative-led)

rule-based engine or hybrid logic layer

👤 Ideal Candidate Profile

We are looking for someone who operates at architecture + product + execution level.

You should have:

Experience as:

Fractional CTO / Solution Architect / Technical Product Lead

Strong background in:

SaaS platform architecture

MVP design and build

database schema design

API/system design

Experience with:

structured data systems or rule engines

dashboard/reporting platforms

Ability to:

translate complex frameworks into working systems

maintain structure without oversimplifying logic

Bonus (Strong Advantage)

Experience with:

AI-enabled platforms

assessment or diagnostic tools

workflow automation systems

enterprise SaaS products

🚫 Not a Fit If You Are

Only a UI designer

Only a junior developer

Looking for quick gig work without system ownership

Someone who wants to redesign the framework instead of building it

✅ Deliverables

System architecture blueprint

Database schema

PRD (Product Requirements Document)

MVP build (or build-ready system with dev support)

Working prototype of:

assessment flow

report output

map logic (basic version)

🧭 Working Style

Collaborative but structured

You will be working with a clearly defined system (not ambiguity)

We value:

clarity

discipline

precision

execution capability

💬 To Apply

Please include:

Relevant SaaS or MVP platforms you’ve built

Experience with system architecture or rule-based platforms

Your preferred tech stack for this project

How you would approach turning a complex framework into software

Whether you can:

architect only

architect + build

lead a dev team

🔥 Closing Note

This is not a standard SaaS build.

It is the translation of a fully developed intellectual system into a scalable platform.

We are looking for someone who can respect structure, preserve logic, and execute at a high level.
