01
Decide what to build before development starts. Compare options, define the initial product scope and turn stakeholder requirements into an implementable plan.
Useful when
For founders, product owners and operating teams who have an idea or a stalled product but need a defensible next decision. This engagement brings stakeholder needs, workflow evidence and technical constraints into one plan before a build is commissioned. It can also examine an existing codebase or vendor proposal when the available options are unclear.
Illustrative work
An illustrative assignment follows a customer request from intake to completion, identifies the manual steps and compares a small custom build with changes to an existing platform. The useful output is a reasoned choice, with release boundaries and questions that still need evidence.
