One model.
One first proof.

Business Model Canvas: selling a standard-design home to a family planning a move out of the city. They may own a plot or still be choosing one. Nine blocks that need to work together.

Working version · 23 September 2026Kyiv and Kyiv region · initial test market

Facts — within the limits of R1–R3The model is a hypothesis to test
01

Value proposition

A standardized modular home for full-time living: a clear specification and an agreed path from selection to handover.

The intended value is a livable home sooner. Any timing or full-budget advantage still needs to be demonstrated through an actual handover.

Value hypothesis
02

Customer segments

Our customers are families across Ukraine planning a move out of the city for themselves or their parents. They may already own land or choose it after discussing the home and budget. Our first marketing test focuses on Kyiv and Kyiv region; this does not limit our sales territory. Delivery and installation feasibility, cost and timing are agreed for each plot.

Key conditions: a full budget, a suitable plot and agreed timing. This segment is not yet proven to be the most profitable or sufficient for scale.

03

Channels

First proposed route: website and configurator → sales conversation → viewing a specific showroom home → individual proposal.

As confirmed by the team as of 2 October 2026, the contract for the first standard-range home order has been signed and the 50% advance received. After viewing the showroom sample, the customer ordered a new similar home. This is the first paying demand for the new range, not a sale of the display home or an accepted handover. Acquisition source, conversion and CAC for this case have not yet been reconciled.

04

Customer relationships

Personal sales support: needs, plot, specification, price boundaries, viewing and agreement.

Handover and after-sales contact need named accountable people. The configurator is not an automatic quote or reservation.

05

Key resources

Standard-design projects, a sample with unfinished electrics, the production site, architect, crews, quality control, sales managers and Planner.

A critical pilot condition is agreed availability of the required contributors. Being part of the team does not mean being available.

06

Key activities

1. Clarify the need and sell an agreed specification. 2. Complete production with quality acceptance. 3. Coordinate handover and reconcile its outcome and costs.

Sales and work completion proceed in parallel. A new AI feature is not a prerequisite for demand testing.

07

Key partnerships

Required partners include material suppliers, specialist contractors, transport, crane hire, foundation and utility-connection providers.

This is a dependency map, not a list of signed partnerships. Contributors, availability, prices and alternatives must be agreed for the first handover.

08

Revenue streams

The payer is the home buyer. The core stream is a one-off sale with an agreed specification; payment timing is set by the agreement, not a subscription.

The agreed price of the showroom ModulDim 98 is UAH 2,460,000: house 80 m² × UAH 27,000 = UAH 2,160,000; terrace 18.75 m² × UAH 16,000 = UAH 300,000. Completion of the finishing electrical installation is included. The rainwater gutter system is optional, approximately UAH 35,000 extra. Foundation, delivery, crane, installation and connections are separate. The electrical completion date is not yet confirmed.

A 50% advance has been received for the first standard-range order; recognized revenue and actual margin have not yet been reconciled. Additional work is not counted as ModulDim revenue unless the parties and scope of the relevant contract are established.

09

Cost structure

Materials and specification; labor and contractors; production overhead; quality checks and rework; sales; logistics within the contract; service obligations.

We propose agreeing a pilot budget, recording commitments and changes before spending, and comparing planned with actual costs from the start. This is not an adopted procedure. Cost, margin, working capital and customer acquisition cost have not yet been reconciled.

Where the model is not yet complete

A promise is not a verified outcome

Our value is readiness for living. The current price covers the house with terrace and completion of the finishing electrical installation, but not the entire path to moving in. The first step is to agree the complete handover process and budget, without conflating the two.

A sale is not a profitable series

Deciding whether to repeat requires actual costs, fulfilled terms, outstanding obligations and team availability. We do not invent margin or scaling figures.

Open questions before the first agreement

  • Who is accountable for the full handover and after-sales contact?
  • What are the full move-in budget, payment schedule and responsibility boundaries?
  • What are the actual reasons for choosing or rejecting the offer among families planning a move out of the city, with and without land?
  • What first-handover outcomes and costs would justify repeating the model?

Autonomy as a Service: a long-term hypothesis

Alongside home sales, we are researching service subscriptions and energy-module rental; home rental is a later, capital-intensive scenario. None is declared launched: there are no tariffs, contracts or confirmed recurring revenue. A service pilot is a separate future test after technical readiness. The current first pilot is the sale and fit-for-living handover of a standard-design home without autonomy.

The long-term thesis is substantial potential demand for homes with controllable systems, not an “infinite” paying market. War and outages intensify the need; AI and robotics may change how people work and live. Mass relocation, lower total costs and health benefits are not established for our segment. Land, budgets, safety, service and production capacity constrain the market.

Evidence and its limits

Method: AltaLab Day 2 materials. Workbook: SWOT and intersections — pp. 1–3; Canvas — p. 3; One-Pager — pp. 4–5. Lecture notes: validation — pp. 1–2, Canvas — pp. 2–5, traps and One-Pager — pp. 5–7. Also: Common Validation Traps, pp. 1–3 — pitfalls and a repeated One-Pager structure. This is our working interpretation, not an assessment or endorsement by AltaLab.

What counts as evidence — and what it does not establish
  • R1 · Voice of the Customer, December 2025: a summary of 13 interviews with buyers of homes, offices, storage spaces and terraces. Pages 3–5 cover the sample and motives; pp. 6–11 describe mixed quality and support experiences. Primary transcripts, response frequencies and a dedicated standardized-home buyer sample are not available here.
  • R2 · Team updates of 20–22 September 2026: the first standardized home’s status, specification, indicative price, Planner and quality checks. These are reported facts, not an independent production or financial audit.
  • R3 · Public website and tracker: the pages and tools can be inspected, but their existence does not demonstrate demand, profitability or AI impact.

Fresh target-segment interviews, reasons for choosing or declining, actual buyer commitments and the first handover’s economics are still needed. Internal reports and personal data are not published.
