Start here — Zero commitment

Free Exploration Call

A quick conversation to understand your idea and assess if we're the right fit.

What we discuss:

  • Your idea and the problem you're solving
  • Current stage and project readiness
  • What you need from Discovery
  • Constraints (budget, timeline, technical)
€0 20 minutes

Outcome:

Honest recommendation on next steps and exact Discovery cost if it makes sense.

Request Free Call

We'll reply within 24h to schedule the call.

Are we the right fit for you?

✓ Great fit:

  • You need a measurable MVP or iteration
  • You want senior partners in the loop
  • You care about scope discipline

Consider other options if:

  • You need a large team (5+ devs)
  • You want a locked 12-month roadmap
  • You need 24/7 support coverage

After free call

MVP Discovery & Roadmap

Define scope, validate assumptions, map your release plan

€1.600 €1.600 - €3.500

Final cost determined after free call based on complexity

Timeline: 1-2 weeks

What you get

  • Outcome definition document
  • Prioritized feature list (in/out/later)
  • MVP boundary map with tradeoffs
  • High-level architecture diagram
  • Timeline estimate with milestones
  • Cost range for build phase
  • Risk assessment
  • Next steps recommendation

Why our Discovery works

  • Senior partners only (no junior padding)
  • Decision-ready output (not a report to shelf)
  • 50% refund if you don't find it useful

What affects Discovery cost?

Factor Lower cost Higher cost
Project readiness Clear problem, defined user, documented use cases Multiple stakeholders, unclear scope, competing priorities
Technical complexity Standard stack, simple integrations Custom integrations, data migration, compliance
Team alignment Single decision maker Multiple stakeholders needing alignment

What Discovery is NOT

  • - Not a fixed-price quote for build
  • - Not detailed technical specs
  • - Not a guarantee of timeline
  • - Not a commitment to build together

What we build

Software development and implementation work

MVP Build

From idea to shipped V1 with a measurable signal.

Typical timeline: 4-8 weeks

De-risk the riskiest assumption Ship a focused V1 Capture real user signal
  • Product definition + success metric
  • Design system starter
  • Core user flow
  • Analytics + signal tracking
  • Release plan

Product Iterations

Improve, refactor, and extend with byte-sized releases.

Typical timeline: 2-6 weeks

Tighter activation Faster loops Lower delivery risk
  • Iteration plan + scope
  • Feature or refactor slice
  • Release notes + handoff
  • Performance or UX fixes
  • Decision log

Web + CMS

Marketing sites with clear messaging and clean content ops.

Typical timeline: 2-5 weeks

Sharper positioning Faster updates SEO-ready structure
  • Conversion-focused pages
  • CMS-ready content model
  • Performance tune-up
  • Analytics setup
  • Launch checklist

Integrations + Automation

Connect tools, move data, and reduce manual work.

Typical timeline: 2-4 weeks

Less manual effort Clearer ops signal Fewer handoffs
  • Workflow map
  • Integration build
  • Alerting + dashboards
  • Ops docs
  • QA handoff

How we price projects

Transparent process, no hidden assumptions

1

Free exploration call

20 minutes

€0

We listen to your idea, assess readiness, and determine if Discovery makes sense.

→ Honest recommendation + exact Discovery cost if we proceed

2

Paid Discovery (if it makes sense)

1-2 weeks

€1.600 - €3.500

We map scope, features, architecture, and create a complete roadmap.

→ Prioritized roadmap + cost range for build + decision framework

3

Build in bytes (if you choose to proceed)

Variable per iteration

Estimated during Discovery

Iterative delivery with decision points after each byte.

→ Working software, shipped incrementally

What you always know

  • Exact Discovery cost after free call (before you commit)
  • Build cost range after Discovery (±20% based on defined scope)
  • Cost for next byte before starting it (fixed, no surprises)
  • Option to stop after any phase with no penalties

Delivery model

The Byte Loop

Plan → build → ship → measure. Each loop ends with a decision.

Scope changes are handled between loops, not mid-loop. That keeps delivery predictable.

  1. 1

    Plan

    Define the outcome, metric, and smallest release that proves it.

  2. 2

    Build

    Design and ship the slice with tight scope and senior execution.

  3. 3

    Ship

    Release to real users, then capture the signal fast.

  4. 4

    Measure

    Review the data, adjust scope, and commit to the next byte.

FAQ

Getting Started

What happens in the free 20-minute call?

We listen to your idea, ask about readiness and constraints, and give honest feedback. Outcome: (1) Discovery makes sense — here's exact cost, or (2) Self-plan with our tools first, or (3) We're not the right fit. No sales pressure.

Why is Discovery cost variable (€1.600-€3.500)?

Because complexity varies. A simple web app with clear requirements needs 1 week (€1.600-€2.000). A multi-platform project with legacy integration and compliance needs 2 weeks (€2.500-€3.500). We scope it honestly in the free call, so you know exact cost before committing.

What's included in the €1.600 base fee?

Core discovery activities: kick-off, scope definition, MVP boundary mapping, basic architecture, and roadmap creation. The variable part (€400-€1.900) covers extra complexity like stakeholder workshops, compliance analysis, or migration planning.

Do you give a fixed price quote after Discovery?

No. We give a cost range (e.g., '€15K-€22K for MVP, 6-8 weeks'). The range accounts for unknowns that emerge during build. Each byte within that range has fixed cost, agreed before starting.

Can I pause or stop after Discovery?

Yes. Discovery ends with a roadmap and cost estimate. You're not obligated to proceed with build. We'll deliver all materials regardless.

What if my idea changes during Discovery?

Small pivots are normal and included. Major scope changes (e.g., changing target platform or business model) would require re-scoping with transparent cost adjustment.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, we sign standard mutual NDAs before the free call if needed. Just mention it when booking.

What if I already have wireframes or specs?

Great! That typically reduces Discovery time and cost. Share them in the free call and we'll assess if Discovery is still needed or if we can jump to build.

Working Together

How long does a typical engagement run?

Most loops run 2-6 weeks. MVP builds typically land in 4-8 weeks depending on scope.

How do we communicate?

Weekly planning, async updates, and a shared decision log. You always see the next byte.

How do payments work?

We bill per iteration. Each byte has a defined outcome, timeline, and cost.

Technical & Handover

Who owns the work and IP?

You do. All code and assets are yours at every milestone.

Do you handle maintenance?

Yes, through ongoing iterations or a support loop scoped by outcome.

Can you work with our stack?

Usually. We prefer proven tools but adapt to what makes the product easiest to maintain.

Do you handle hosting?

We can set up and document hosting, or work with your team to run it in-house.

How does handover work?

We ship with docs, walkthroughs, and a clean codebase so the next team can take over.
