FAQ
What does a software product development consultant do?
They help you decide what to build, choose the architecture and vendors, keep delivery on track and prepare the product for market. It is senior product and technical judgement without hiring a full team.
How much does a discovery sprint cost?
A one-week discovery sprint starts from $2,500 and ends with an audit, an AI architecture recommendation, an MVP scope and a 90-day roadmap.
Do I need a technical background to work with you?
No. Everything is explained in business terms, and decisions are framed around cost, risk and time to market.
Can you help us choose a development agency?
Yes. Vendor selection and budget review are part of discovery, so you can compare proposals against a clear scope.
