Product discovery in digital product development
Idea validation. Market research. Smart investment. Product discovery is a critical phase in the product development process. During this phase, we go deep into understanding and defining the problem that needs to be solved, while ensuring a market demand for the proposed solution.
We identify your potential customers, understand their pain points, develop hypotheses about how the product will address those issues, and validate them. The goal is to minimize the investment risks. Product discovery guides the product’s design and feature set, aligning development efforts with what customers want and need. We help you build products that will bring more revenue and are viable for your business.

Different budgets, deadlines, challenges, and requirements. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to software development. To match your exact goals and ambitions, we offer two types of business models:
- Time & material: Greater control. Flexibility. Participation in candidate selection. With no rigid processes or end dates, this business model is easier to scale up or down as your business needs change.
- Fixed price: Fixed scope. Fixed budget. Fixed timeline. Those are the main benefits of the fixed price model. You set the requirements upfront, and we deliver the project within them.
Many clients choose to start with the fixed-price model. However, as their project scope evolves, they typically shift to the time & material model.
