PLAN & DEVELOP PILOT PROJECT: prototype for accountants & cpe providers
mvp 2: expand development to enable functionality for all users
Version 1 of the CREDU app will be built leveraging existing applications to showcase its concepts and potential. We will conduct a pilot with a test group of digital accountants and CPE/CPD training providers.
Our MVP 1 is to ensure validation and inspire industry ambassadors to pitch the app to our professional accounting bodies. Development on MVP 2 will then be expanded to enable all four user groups to interact: accountants, CPE training providers, professional bodies, and the public, with more advanced tooling to validate the platform’s efficacy.
CREDU is to be developed as a PUBLIC GOOD using open-source software, without proprietary systems, shareholders or equity investors. Users will be rewarded based on their contributions. This approach is to ensure that value and decision-making are distributed among those who actively contribute to the platform's growth and success.
