Duplicate requests going untracked
Similar requests submitted through different channels weren't recognized as the same underlying need.
STARTUP SAAS MVP CASE STUDY
A platform that turns scattered feature requests into a clear roadmap signal
A startup SaaS MVP for collecting customer requests, grouping similar feedback, prioritizing features, publishing roadmaps, and closing the feedback loop.
▣ Requests grouped instead of duplicated
♙ Roadmap published directly from prioritized requests
✦ Customers notified when their request ships
A system built to close the loop between customer feedback and delivery
Startups collecting feature requests through support tickets, emails, and calls often lose track of duplicate requests and never circle back to tell customers when something ships.
This MVP gives product teams a single place to collect requests, group duplicates, prioritize what matters, and publish progress back to the customers who asked.

The Challenge
No clear prioritization signal
Product teams lacked a structured way to weigh customer demand against development effort.
Feedback loop never closed
Customers who requested a feature were rarely told when it shipped, reducing trust in the feedback process.
What We Can Identified
A focused feature request platform connecting customer feedback directly to roadmap decisions.
Request Submission
Customers submit feature requests through a dedicated channel instead of scattered tickets and emails.
Request Grouping
Similar requests are grouped together, giving an accurate view of how many customers want the same thing.
Prioritization Scoring
Product teams score requests by customer demand and estimated effort to guide what to build next.
Roadmap Publishing
Prioritized requests move onto a public roadmap, giving customers visibility into what's planned.
Status Updates
Requests update through planned, in-progress, and shipped stages visible to the customers who asked.
Automatic Notifications
Customers are notified automatically when a feature they requested ships, closing the feedback loop.
