Plan before you build

When this is useful

Founders or teams comparing approaches before committing to delivery.

What we can include

We shape the exact deliverables around your brief and confirm them in the proposal.

• Goals and audience discussion
• Feature and content priorities
• Scope summary and next-step recommendations

What to bring

Bring the business problem, target launch window and a realistic investment range.

An example brief

A founder has a broad software idea but needs to decide what to build first. Discovery turns the idea into user journeys, priorities, assumptions and a phased delivery brief.

Decisions to make together

These questions help turn a broad request into an actionable scope.

• What problem must the first version solve?
• Who will test or approve the proposed approach?
• Which budget, deadline and operational constraints shape the first phase?

What we review before handover

The final review criteria are agreed for your project. A typical checklist could include:

• Identify the primary audience and intended outcome.
• Separate first-release scope from later possibilities.
• Document open questions, dependencies and the next decision.

How the work progresses

We agree the brief, review a direction, develop the selected approach and check the agreed deliverables before handover. Review rounds and approval responsibilities are set at the start.

Scope and dependencies

A consultation is a planning session, not a completed design or implementation.

Planning cost and timing

Complexity, available assets, number of outputs and external dependencies affect the estimate. Share your priorities and deadline so we can propose a realistic first phase.
