DISCOVERY PHASE

Roadmap, architecture and fixed budget before writing code

Before writing a single line, we define the scope, design the architecture, validate a prototype and hand you a fixed budget. Start with a free assessment to evaluate your case — no surprises halfway through the project.

Why start with a discovery phase?

A fixed budget on a validated scope

We close the execution cost on a scope that is already defined and proven with a prototype. No hourly rate, no "that wasn't in the scope".

You reduce the risk of cost overruns

We validate the architecture, the data model and the technology before investing in development — where a mistake is far more expensive to fix later.

You decide with data, without being locked in

When it ends, you start the build with us, adjust the scope, put it out to tender with several vendors or pause. Discovery is a standalone phase.

The deliverables are yours and portable

The spec, the architecture and the API contracts are written so any competent team can execute them. No vendor lock-in.

What your initial assessment includes (free)

A session to evaluate your case and a first map, at no cost, before quoting the full discovery.

Assessment of your idea or business problem and its maturity
Identification of processes, systems and integrations to consider
A preliminary map of the scope and main risks
A high-level technical approach recommendation
Estimate of the discovery scope, timeline and cost
How the discovery is credited if you then contract the build

How it works

01

Reach out

Leave your details in the form or message us on WhatsApp. We reply during business hours.

02

Initial assessment

We review your idea, your processes and your goals in a session with our consultants to scope the case.

03

Discovery proposal

We hand you the scope, timeline and cost of the discovery phase, with its deliverables.

04

Discovery → execution

If we move forward, discovery ends with a roadmap, architecture, validated prototype and a fixed budget to build.

Where is your project?

Frequently asked questions

How long does the discovery phase take?

Usually between 2 and 4 weeks, depending on project complexity and the number of stakeholders involved. We agree on a closed timeframe up front so you know exactly when you'll receive the deliverables.

How much does discovery cost and is it credited to the project?

It is quoted based on scope, since it depends on the number of processes, integrations and stakeholders. If you then contract the build with us, the discovery cost is credited toward that project. Schedule a consultation and we'll evaluate your case to give you a precise estimate.

What exactly do I receive at the end?

A documented package with: a phased technical roadmap, solution architecture, data model, wireframes and a navigated prototype, API contracts, a fixed execution budget and a timeline. Every deliverable is yours from the moment you receive it.

Does discovery commit me to building with you?

No. It is a standalone phase and the deliverables are 100% yours. When it ends you can start the build with us, adjust the scope, put it out to tender with several vendors or pause the project. The point is for you to decide with data, not be locked in by an initial promise.
