ZERO-SaaS Glossary
This glossary explains the terms used when evaluating ZERO-SaaS Development, including each term's meaning and context within the service.
Common Development Platform (SDK)
A Common Development Platform (SDK) is a development foundation prepared in advance with the shared capabilities required for SaaS development. It streamlines the process from design through launch with authentication, permissions, notifications, and logs.
AI Coding Agent
An AI Coding Agent is a development aid that supports work from organizing requirements through implementation, testing, and documentation. It is combined with the Common Development Platform to move development forward faster.
Quality Gates
Quality Gates are the standard quality checks performed during development. They include log reviews, static analysis, dependency scanning, and open-source license checks.
Fit Assessment
A Fit Assessment is a consultation step that organizes challenges, goals, constraints, and an ROI hypothesis before development. It typically takes 30–60 minutes and can begin before requirements are finalized.
MVP
An MVP is an initial version limited to the minimum features. It defines required flows from KPIs, launches early, and adds capabilities in stages.
Revenue Share Model
A Revenue Share Model sets a portion of the revenue generated by an app as the fee. It suits external sales, OEM, and joint sales of your own product.
Monthly Billing Model
A Monthly Billing Model provides an internal business-efficiency app for a monthly fee based on the number of users. For example, pricing can start at ¥1,000 per account, or ¥30,000 per month for 30 users.
Custom Development from Scratch
Custom Development from Scratch fits the system to your business processes and supports requirements that existing SaaS products cannot cover. API integrations with existing core systems and SaaS products are also included.
Contract Development
Contract Development is a model in which a system is developed individually according to the client's requirements. Initial costs tend to be substantial.
OEM
OEM is a model in which a SaaS app is built as your own product for external or joint sales. ZERO-SaaS presents it as a use case for the Revenue Share Model.
