FAQ

Straight answers to keep the process transparent.

What if the right answer is "don't build this yet"?
Then that's the output. Killing the wrong build early is one of the highest-ROI outcomes.
Do you deliver designs or wireframes?
Yes when it helps decision-making - flows, wireframes, and lightweight prototypes. The goal is clarity, not pixels.
What do you need from us to run discovery?
A real owner (founder/PM), access to existing docs or research (if any), and the willingness to make decisions quickly.
What happens after discovery?
You can build with your team, with ours, or with someone else. If we continue, it usually starts with a 2-4 week pilot delivery sprint.
Is this only for early-stage startups?
No, it also works for v2/v3 rebuilds, pivots, or when delivery is stuck because scope is unclear.
