Software Strategy & Scoping
Plan The Right Software Before You Build It
A focused discovery and scoping engagement for software, app, ERP and automation projects. You walk away with a clear plan, realistic budget, and the confidence to commit to the right first version.
The Problem
The most expensive part of any software project is building the wrong thing. Vague requirements, optimistic estimates and unclear priorities are the reason most projects blow out on time and budget.
Our Approach
Before any code is written, we sit down with you to map the problem, the users, the must-haves and the maybes. You end up with a written scope, a realistic budget, and a clear go / no-go decision — whether you build it with us or someone else.
What's included
- Stakeholder & user interviews
- Process & workflow mapping
- Feature prioritisation (must / should / later)
- Wireframes for key screens
- Recommended tech approach
- Realistic budget & timeline
- Risks, dependencies & assumptions
- A written scope you can take anywhere

Frequently asked
Is the scope mine to keep?
Yes. The scope document is yours — including if you decide to build with someone else.
How long does scoping take?
Most engagements run one to three weeks depending on the size of the project.
Do you do fixed-price builds after scoping?
Yes — once the scope is clear, we can quote a fixed price and timeline for the build.
