What it solves
The Discovery Sprint exists so you decide with data, not gut feeling:
- Clarity before you hire: you know what to build, with which architecture and at what cost, before committing to anyone.
- Runway protected: you stop burning months and money building on unvalidated assumptions.
- A defensible plan: you walk into your next investor conversation with a PRD, a roadmap and a fixed budget.
- Architecture decisions documented: the technical options evaluated, with the reasoning behind them.
What it is — and what it is not
What it is
- An intensive 14-day sprint focused on your product, your market and your real constraints.
- Discovery and technical validation work with concrete, actionable deliverables.
- An execution plan with an estimated backlog, a 12-week roadmap and a fixed budget.
- The starting point of a working relationship: if you continue, the amount is deducted in full.
What it is NOT
- It is not a generic audit with recommendations that would fit any company.
- It is not a quote without context: every figure comes from a backlog estimated on your product.
- It is not a sales demo: the 14 days produce deliverables that are yours, whether you continue or not.
The 14 days, phase by phase
Discovery and mapping
We understand your product, your market and your constraints. We map users, use cases and the real scope: the foundation of the PRD.
Architecture and technical validation
We evaluate architecture options against your requirements and validate the highest-risk technical points. The result is a documented architecture decision.
Backlog and estimation
We turn the scope into a prioritized, estimated backlog, story by story. This is where the real effort of the project comes from.
Roadmap and budget
We close the 12-week roadmap and the fixed budget, and hand everything over ready to defend in front of your team or your investors.
The 5 deliverables
Everything documented, everything yours. Whether you continue with us or not.
PRD
The product requirements document: what gets built, for whom and why.
Architecture decision
The chosen technical option and the discarded ones, with the criteria and reasoning.
Estimated backlog
The work broken down and estimated, prioritized by value and risk.
12-week roadmap
The week-by-week execution sequence from day one.
Fixed budget
A concrete figure with no surprises, derived from the estimated backlog.
100% guarantee
If the plan you receive is not defensible in front of an investor, you are covered by a 100% guarantee. The output of the sprint has to stand up to the toughest questions.
What comes next
If you decide to continue, we design a retainer with a budget tailored to what the Discovery revealed. Minimum commitment of 3 months and 30 days' notice. No hidden lock-ins.
