Clarity and detalization in the project are the most effective preventatives against wasting budget and time. Sufficient documentation from the beginning leaves no space for assumptions and brings peace of mind, once everybody has the same precisely described scope.

Discovery Phase Process
Our structured approach to understanding and documenting your project requirements
The first step is a domain workshop, where the Client describes his needs, pains, and existing status quo by sharing how he achieves goals today.
The second step is to list and validate possible technical, legal, and business model related show-stoppers by making a set of experimental proofs-of-concept.
Research on listed and prioritized vendors and dependencies of a product allows to provide a precise project estimate instead of abstract placeholders.
Once the technical set of tools is clear, it is possible to make calculations for different system workloads - downtime, minimum profitable, target, and exponential growth.
