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 involvement

You share insights about your business or idea — this sets the foundation for deeper research and analysis.

Business analyst’s role

A BA structures your idea, defines requirements, identifies risks, and outlines a product

Discovery team

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

Discovery deliverables

We offer 40+ deliverables, but your case will include only the essential ones — ensuring 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

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

Communication plan

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

Discovery cost & 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+.
