Discovery phase: we will prepare a development plan, estimate timelines and budget — to ensure the project doesn’t fail
Addressing the 10 most important questions about discovery research
How long does the discovery phase take, and when will I receive the final results?
Our analyst, technical team, and designers work on the discovery phase. It usually takes us no more than two weeks to study your requirements, explore the best market solutions, and create a development plan.
What will I receive as a result of your work?
By the end of the discovery phase, you will have:
A detailed description of the task and proposed solution (5-10 page doc)
Diagrams outlining the main modules of the future system
Mockups with various design options—if essential for project evaluation
A work plan with timelines and budget
View a sample discovery report
What will be required from my side?
We’ll need about 3 hours of your time to introduce the analyst to the project, review the finalized plan, and provide your comments. We’ll handle the rest.
What if new requirements for the project come up during the discovery phase?
It’s common for parts of the future system to be clarified and adjusted during the discovery phase. In fact, it’s ideal to make these changes early on to reduce development costs down the line.
What if I decide not to work with you after the discovery phase?
You are not obligated to start development with us. After the discovery phase, you will have a project outline that you can take to other teams to compare costs and select the best partner. If you choose not to use the discovery materials, we will refund your money.
Can’t you just tell me how much the project development will cost?
We can’t give an exact price without fully understanding the project—it’s a sure path to failure. Quoting prices upfront would also be misleading, as the budget may shift after the discovery phase. If it’s essential for you to know a price range before starting, we can discuss it during a personal meeting.
What if your prices don’t fit my budget?
In that case, we’ll suggest adjusting the project’s functionality to fit your budget while still addressing your business goals—this is called an MVP. You’ll have control over the development plan, setting priorities as needed. This way, we’ll stay within budget, launch a basic version quickly, and defer secondary features to a future iteration.

Do you ensure the confidentiality of my project?
If confidentiality is important to you, we’re ready to sign an NDA.
