Kick-off

Get matched with the right expert

Share your needs in the form, and we’ll match you with an expert who knows your industry inside out. Real estate? MarTech? Logistics? You’ll talk to someone who’s worked on similar projects before. No generic pitches — just a conversation with a specialist who understands your needs and can offer real solutions.

Discovery phase

Your role

You share insights about your business or idea to lay the foundation for deeper research and analysis.

Business analyst’s role

A BA structures your idea, defines requirements, identifies risks, and outlines a product that meets your business goals.

Discovery team composition

Depending on your project, a BA, PM, tech leads, and designers work together to define requirements and minimize risks.

Discovery deliverables

We offer 40+ deliverables, but your project will include only those that are essential to ensure a focused and efficient start.

PoC vs. Prototype

A PoC tests feasibility and a prototype visualizes the user experience. Both help validate your idea before development.

Project estimation techniques

We use six different estimation techniques to ensure the most accurate and reliable project quote.

Communication plan

Our plan is customized and adaptable, ensuring the right level of interaction and transparency for smooth collaboration.

Discovery cost and duration

It starts at $12,000 and lasts for 3 weeks for a small package. More deliverables can extend to several months and $25,000+.

Risk management

Known risks are factored into estimates, ensuring we have an action plan in place and keeping development on track.

<10% CPI/SPI variance

We track progress, compare actuals to the plan, and adjust as needed to keep spending and timelines on track.

CI/CD & DevOps practices

By automating deployments, monitoring, and security, we ensure stable releases, fast recovery, and smooth operations.
