Strip it down to the bare minimum you can have working in a hurry and hide the other features till they're ready.

The thing is, we don't have any extra features because we wanted to nail down getting our core service right. So the key process that is the primary feature is the thing that only works about 25-50% of the time right now.

Identify one simple reason why it fails, fix it and put in a unit test (or something in your build process or whatever) so it doesn't happen again.
