Discovery Sprint
Not sure where to start? Let's figure it out together.
In 1-2 weeks, we'll map your processes, identify opportunities, and deliver a working prototype or clear roadmap, so you know exactly what to build, why, and how much it will cost.
What Is This?
The Discovery Sprint is our entry-level engagement designed to bring clarity before commitment. Whether you're exploring automation opportunities, planning a new product, or unsure if your idea is technically feasible, we start by deeply understanding your business.
This isn't a sales pitch disguised as discovery. This is a design thinking phase: we don't build for the sake of building. We map your workflows, identify real bottlenecks, evaluate technology options, and prototype solutions.
Who Is This For?
Perfect for:
- ✓Established companies exploring automation or digital transformation but unsure where to start
- ✓Founders with an idea who need technical validation before committing to full development
- ✓Organizations considering system redesigns or integration projects and want expert assessment first
- ✓Teams who've tried to build something before and need an honest audit of what's salvageable
How It Works
Days 1-2: Understand
We start with deep listening. No assumptions, no cookie-cutter templates. We interview key stakeholders, map current workflows, identify bottlenecks, and define success criteria.
Days 3-7: Design & Prototype
We evaluate options and build something tangible. We research and recommend technology approaches, design system architecture, and build a working prototype or detailed technical roadmap.
Days 8-10: Plan Forward
We turn insights into action. We document findings and recommendations, break down full build into phases with time/cost estimates, identify risks, and present clear options.
What You Get
Process Map & Analysis
Visual workflow documentation, identified bottlenecks, and prioritized improvement areas.
Technology Recommendations
Evaluated options (no-code, low-code, custom) with trade-offs clearly explained.
Working Prototype OR Technical Architecture
Interactive proof-of-concept or detailed architecture plan with diagrams.
Clear Roadmap
Phased build plan with timelines, transparent cost estimates, and risk mitigation strategies.
Case Study
Discovery Sprint in Action
Marketplace Startup
The Challenge
A startup with a working marketplace had hired another agency to scale their platform. After months of development and significant investment, the result fell short: poor performance, frequent errors, and architecture that couldn't support their growth plans. They needed to know: what could be salvaged? What needed rebuilding? And how much would it really cost to do it right?
Our Discovery Process
Over one week, we conducted a comprehensive technical audit. We reviewed every critical line of code, analyzed the architecture, evaluated the database and integrations. We interviewed the founding team to understand their real business objectives. We documented all issues found: from fundamental architectural decisions to specific bugs and accumulated technical debt.
What We Delivered
- ✓40+ page technical report identifying all issues, organized by severity and business impact
- ✓Analysis of what code could be reused and what required complete rewrite
- ✓Complete reimplementation roadmap divided into 3 phases, with time and cost estimates for each
- ✓Modernized tech stack recommendations (Next.js, Supabase, Stripe) with justification for each decision
- ✓Migration strategy that would keep the current system operational during transition
The Outcome
The founding team finally understood exactly what had gone wrong and why. More important: they had a clear, realistic plan to move forward. They knew what they would get, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. Our honest assessment saved them months of continuing down the wrong path. Subsequently, we built the complete new platform for them.
