Reduce uncertainty before a significant build
Discovery & Scope Sprint
A short paid engagement that turns a business problem or product idea into a prioritized scope, workflow, delivery approach and investment range.
No checkout or automatic commitment. Expect a personal response within 24 hours.
The $1,050 starting price covers one focused problem and a limited stakeholder group. Broader research, multiple departments, legacy-system analysis or complex technical validation may require a larger sprint. Any build is proposed separately.
01
Relevance
Who this engagement is designed for.
For founders and business owners who know something important must change but are not ready to responsibly approve a full software or website build.
02
Recognise the problem
This may be the right service if…
The idea is important but the first release is still too broad.
Different stakeholders disagree about priorities or required workflows.
A proposal would be unreliable without examining the existing process or system.
You need a credible plan before seeking internal approval or development funding.

Questions before starting
Clear expectations reduce project risk.
Is the discovery fee part of the build price?
The proposal will state whether any portion is credited toward a later build. Discovery remains valuable as a standalone decision document even if you do not proceed with SQREX.
What will I receive?
You receive a written summary of the problem, priority users, recommended first scope, boundaries, important risks, delivery phases and an indicative investment range.
Does discovery guarantee that the project is feasible?
It reduces uncertainty but cannot remove every unknown. Where necessary, the recommendation will identify technical validation or external advice required before a build.
Can I use the scope with another developer?
Yes, subject to the terms agreed for the sprint. The document is designed to make the next decision clearer, not to trap you into a build.
