Discovery services
Problems are guaranteed. The question is when you find them. Discovery surfaces those problems when they’re cheap to fix. Skip it, and you’ll find them when they’re expensive. Discovery always pays for itself.
Here are real problems we see on projects that skip discovery. Each one costs thousands to fix. Discovery catches all of them upfront.
Discovery finds problems when they’re still cheap. Here’s how:
Timeline: 2 days

Not sure which tier you need? Contact us and we’ll help you decide.
Here’s the complete breakdown of activities included at each tier level:
Discovery happens in three stages. Depending on your budget and project type, we’ll adjust the depth.
We listen. You tell us about your business, goals, users, constraints, and what you're trying to build. We surface mismatches early.
We dig deeper. Competitor analysis, market landscape, user behavior, analytics review. We show you what we found and what it means.
We make it tangible. Wireframes, user journeys, technical plan, content strategy, budget, and timeline. You see exactly what you're building.
At the end of discovery, you’ll have a complete blueprint:
You’ll know what comes next, what it’ll cost, and why every decision was made.

As a satisfied client, our collaboration with the talented team at okto—digital for our nationwide podcast competition exceeded all expectations. Their expertise in design, website development, technical solutions, and strategic communication proved invaluable.
Here’s everything you need to know before working with us.
Essential (€500, 2 days): Context only. Quick alignment, basic review, scope definition. Best for small, straightforward projects where requirements are mostly clear.
Just Right (€1,500, 1 week): Context + Research. We dig into competitors, users, and market landscape. Best for most projects—gives you validated insights without full strategic depth.
Complete (€3,000, 3 weeks): Context + Research + Strategy. Full market analysis, detailed UX planning, MVP scoping, psychology application. Best for new products, complex systems, or high-stakes launches.
You’ll have a complete blueprint and know exactly what comes next. Most clients move to one of these paths:
After an initial conversation, we’ll recommend the tier that makes sense for your project. Factors we consider:
You’re not locked in—we’ll guide you to what fits your situation.
Yes. Discovery is priced separately because some clients do discovery with us and then develop elsewhere, or discover the idea won’t work and stop there.
If you proceed to design or development with us after discovery, the discovery cost is already paid—it’s not added on top of development costs.
Key stakeholders who understand the business, users, and requirements. Typically: decision-maker (owner/CEO), someone who knows the users (sales/support), and anyone with technical knowledge (if you have a CTO or IT person). We’ll guide you on who we need in each session—usually 2-4 people maximum.
Yes. Discovery is a separate service. Some clients do discovery with us and then develop elsewhere, or take the blueprint to their internal team. The discovery deliverables are yours to use however you want. If you do proceed with us for design or development, the discovery cost is already paid—it’s not added on top.
That’s exactly what discovery is meant to catch. If research shows your idea won’t work as planned, you’ve saved tens of thousands in development costs. We’ll show you why it won’t work and often suggest alternative approaches that will. Some clients stop here (and saved €40K-€50K), others pivot to a better approach. Either way, you learned it early when it’s cheap.
