Why Supabase for this
Orqent Labs builds AI SaaS products end to end, auth, billing, metering, the model layer and the deployment pipeline, so the first paying customer is a launch, not a fire drill.
Supabase is strongest at production-grade auth and RLS without building them, on standard Postgres you can leave. For saas product development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: opinionated in ways that occasionally fight a complex custom auth model. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
How fast can we launch?
A focused AI SaaS MVP typically reaches paying customers in six to ten weeks. The variable is integration surface, not the AI itself.
Do we own the code?
Entirely. Full IP transfer, in your repositories, with documentation and a handover walkthrough.
Can you take over an existing product?
Yes. We start with an audit of the codebase and infrastructure before committing to a plan.
