Product Discovery & MVP

Validate your concept and reduce risk before full development. Transform ideas into actionable plans with clear scope, budget, and timeline.

When to use: New product, new initiative, or uncertain scope

De-risk Your Product Development

Most product failures happen because teams build the wrong thing, not because they build it wrong. Our discovery process helps you validate core assumptions and create a solid foundation for development.

Validate product-market fit before significant investment
Get realistic timeline and budget estimates
Align stakeholders on scope and priorities
Make informed build vs. buy decisions

Typical Timeline

Week 1-2:Stakeholder interviews & research
Week 3-4:Solution design & prototyping
Week 5-6:Architecture & planning
Week 7-8:Validation & handoff

Frequently Asked Questions

What if we already have a product specification?

We can review existing specifications and focus on validation, risk assessment, and technical planning. Often we discover important gaps or assumptions that need addressing before development begins.

How does this differ from a traditional requirements gathering?

Traditional requirements gathering focuses on what to build. Our discovery process focuses on whether you should build it, how to validate the concept, and what the optimal approach would be given your constraints.

Can discovery lead directly into development?

Absolutely. Discovery creates the foundation for development. You'll have validated requirements, architectural decisions, and a clear roadmap that makes development more efficient and predictable.
