Technical Discovery and Product Scoping in Leicester

Most workshops span 2-4 weeks depending on complexity. We start with a kick-off meeting, then conduct structured interviews with your founders, CTO, product lead, and operations stakeholders. We map architecture, dependencies, and constraints, then present findings and proposed options in a closing session. For simple projects, one week is enough. For enterprise integrations or legacy system migrations, we budget more time.

That's common, and it's exactly what discovery solves. You tell us your business goal and pain point. We ask about your users, your constraints, and what success looks like. Together, we shape a product concept and validate it against your market and budget. The discovery output includes multiple solution approaches, not a single mandate.

Yes. The brief and specification belong to you. We create it in a format that any credible development team can read and estimate from. Some clients use it to compare bids across vendors. Others take it in-house to their own team. Our goal is to give you clarity and a realistic plan, not lock you in.

We price discovery as a fixed project, not an hourly rate. Scope and cost depend on how many systems you're integrating, how many stakeholders we interview, and whether you're building from scratch or modernising legacy code. We can give you a ballpark during an initial chat. Most SME discovery projects sit in the low 4-figure range, but enterprise migrations cost more.

That's fine. Discovery is a learning process. If we uncover a better tool, architecture, or approach than your initial plan, we say so. We're not attached to selling you one particular stack or approach. We prioritise your long-term success, not our implementation comfort.

Yes, we do. If you're a founder pre-seed and need architectural advice before pitching to investors, or you're a mid-market company evaluating in-house build vs. outsource, we run discovery and hand you the brief. No expectation of follow-on work.
