Discovery

Know the shape and the cost before you commit.

Discovery is a short, fixed-price engagement. We dig into what the business needs and come back with a written scope and a fixed quote to build it. You also get a delivery plan, and no obligation to carry on with us.

What it is

Do the thinking before the spending.

Software projects often go wrong before any code is written. Discovery is where we take that risk off the table.

The brief is usually vague and the estimate is really a guess, so the price keeps moving once the work is underway. Discovery replaces that with a week or two of focused work up front: we sit with your team to map the workflow and pin down the outcome you are after.

Then we write down exactly what the first release covers and attach a fixed price to it, with a plan for how the build runs. You decide what happens next with real information in front of you instead of a sales pitch.

There is no obligation to continue. If the work says the project is not worth building, we tell you, and you have found that out for a fixed, predictable cost rather than halfway through a build.

How it works

What happens during Discovery

The same path every time, from a small internal tool to a full platform rebuild.

We dig in

We follow the real workflow with the people who live in it, watching where it repeats and where it quietly breaks down.

We simplify the scope

We cut the plan back to what carries the most weight, so the first release ships sooner and costs less to build.

We price it

You get a fixed quote for the scope we have agreed, alongside an honest estimate of what it costs to run once it is live.

You get a plan

A written scope and a delivery timeline, with everything yours to keep whether you build with us or take it elsewhere.

What you get

What you walk away with

A written scope

The first release described in plain English: what it covers, and where it deliberately stops.

A fixed price

One number for the scope we have agreed, not a range that drifts once the build is underway.

A delivery plan

How the build runs and roughly when each part lands, so you can plan the rest of the business around it.

Freedom to take it elsewhere

No obligation to build with us. Hand the scope and plan to another team, or shelve it, with nothing owed.
