A foundation with core components, tokens, and documentation typically takes 8 to 16 weeks. A comprehensive system covering governance, contribution workflows, and broad component coverage can take 3 to 6 months.
The timeline depends on the scope of your product ecosystem, the number of teams who will consume the system, and whether you have existing patterns to build on or are starting from scratch.
We start with a focused foundation and expand based on what your teams actually need, rather than trying to solve every problem at once.
