Discovery phase service
The discovery phase initializes the process of software development. At this step, our experts evaluate a project idea, define future product requirements, and propose possible ways for its technical implementation. The core objective of the discovery phase is the creation of a financially feasible product model.
Start-up business ideas differ a lot as companies have distinct business goals, that is why the choice for the technology stack is unique for every project. What always remains consistent is a product discovery process undertaken to estimate the business value of the specific idea.
We offer our clients effective strategies and reliable instruments to reduce the cost of the project to be developed. We will determine the required implementation time and will seek to find the best quality to cost balance during the project discovery phase.
During this step, we outline potential risks and look for ways to eliminate them. We strive to minimize the expenditures during the product development cycle, as well as the future cost of product service and support. We also make sure the product will be technologically advanced to compete on the market.
The key objectives of the discovery phase in software development are:
- To outline product architecture.
- To specify main functional characteristics.
- To calculate itemized project costs.
The core deliverables of the discovery phase are:
- A precisely defined scope of activities on the project.
- Suggested method and order for carrying out project activities.
- Suggested order and time frames for project activities.
- Estimated time of project duration.
- Required resources (financial, technical, other).
- Recommended list of specialists needed for project delivery.
Idea validation
We are never guided by guesses when we build our software. For the application to succeed, at every appropriate stage of the development process we build a visual and interactive representation of the product. To validate the concept, we make a clickable model, functional prototype, or an MVP that can be expanded later.
Appeal to investors
We build products drawing on our delivery-focused business experience and knowledge of best development practices. If needed, we seek the advice of successful entrepreneurs to improve the business characteristics of a new solution to make it a market success. The product with the right qualities will attract the necessary funding from the investors.

1
We analyze the new product concept
We help you define your start-up or software core values to bring to life a market-driven product.
- What is the goal of building this startup?
- What problem will the new software solve?
- Who is the target audience and why?
- What key features will target users need?

We carry out market research
We follow Lean Startup and Design Sprint principles to identify the problem our product will solve. We analyze similar, if any, digital tools currently available on the market, study competitors, their strengths and weaknesses. Once we discover all the influences, we will offer our vision of the required features of the future digital product or system.
3
We get feedback on UX and UI
Once we understand what kind of interface users will need, we start to develop an interactive model, a prototype. It can incorporate several features of the final product, be clickable and responsive. This way, users can evaluate whether this product concept is attractive and convenient to use.
4
We define product specs
Based on the projected market qualities of the new product, we create a list of specifications to be referred to during the development process. We analyze future business use cases and then draw out the requirements for our digital product. The data we gather will help maximize the business value of the solution.
