Discovery & Consulting

Analysis of your needs and a clear product strategy.

A short, focused engagement that turns a vague idea or a stalled project into something you can actually cost and schedule. We run workshops with your stakeholders, map users and constraints, and pressure-test the assumptions the plan rests on.

You leave with a written scope, a prioritised roadmap, and an estimate — documents you own outright. Whether we build it is a separate conversation, and a genuinely open one.

What you get

  • /A written scope and prioritised roadmap
  • /An estimate with the assumptions shown
  • /Architecture options and a risk register
  • /Full ownership of every deliverable
  • /A recommendation on which engagement model fits next

When teams call us for this

  • /The idea is real but the scope is not yet clear
  • /Stakeholders disagree on what is being built
  • /A previous attempt stalled and you need a diagnosis
  • /You need a defensible number for a budget conversation

Common questions

What is included in a discovery and consulting engagement?+

We typically run stakeholder workshops, review existing systems and constraints, map users and requirements, assess technical options, identify risks, and shape the scope into something that can be estimated and scheduled.

How long does discovery usually take?+

Most discovery engagements take around two to four weeks, depending on the complexity of the product, number of stakeholders, and how much existing material needs to be reviewed.

What do we receive at the end?+

You receive a written scope, prioritised roadmap, estimate with assumptions, architecture options, and identified risks. All deliverables belong to you.

Do we have to continue development with higroup afterwards?+

No. There is no lock-in. You can continue with us, take the deliverables to your internal team, or use them with another development partner.

When should we choose discovery instead of going straight into development?+

Discovery is the better starting point when the idea is clear but the scope is not, stakeholders are not aligned, technical risks are still unknown, or you need a defensible budget before committing to a build.
