AI by product phase · Discovery

The expensive mistake is made before any code.

Half of all projects fail because they solve the wrong problem. We start by measuring what the problem costs today and deciding whether software is the answer. Sometimes it is not, and we say so.

Where it hurts

Building the wrong thing.

01

Meeting-room requirements.

What gets built is what was said in a room, not what happens in the operation.

02

Open-ended scope.

With no clear limit, the project grows until the budget runs out.

03

No cost for the problem.

If you do not know what it costs today, you cannot know whether the solution pays.

What we do here

Four concrete deliveries.

Two or three weeks. You come out with the decision made, the scope fixed and a budget — even if the decision is not to do it.

  1. 01

    Map of the real process

    How it works today, where it breaks and who holds it up. Observed, not assumed.

  2. 02

    Cost of the problem

    Hours, errors and lost opportunities, in euros. The basis for deciding.

  3. 03

    Scope and architecture

    What is in, what is out and how it gets built. With a fixed price.

  4. 04

    An honest decision

    If a process change or an existing tool solves it, that is the recommendation.

What you get
Services involved

What it is built with.
