Most overruns start before the first line of code, when nobody wrote down what the system should do. We scope first, in a short, paid engagement called a Discovery Sprint, so the price we quote is a price we can keep.
Why scope first
Building from a loose idea means every misunderstanding turns into rework. Scoping first moves those conversations to the cheapest moment to have them.
The week, day by day
Interviews with the people who do the work today.
Mapping how the work flows, step by step.
Designing the data model.
Listing risks and the integrations involved.
Estimating, and writing the statement of work.
What you receive
An architecture map, a data schema, wireframes of the key screens and a fixed-price statement of work. They are yours to keep whether or not you build with us.
How the price is set
The price comes from the scope, not the other way round. If the scope changes later, we quote the change before doing it.
