5-day Product Discovery

Before coding, we decide. Five days, five deliverables: audit, interviews, benchmark, target architecture and quantified roadmap.

Most projects that derail derail at scoping. Too much scope, not enough field evidence, untested hypotheses dressed up as certainties.

Our Discovery lasts exactly five days. Not three (too short to dig into interviews), not ten (analysis paralysis). At the end you have a signed go/no-go and a roadmap actionable the following week.

What we deliver

  • Data & analytics audit

    Funnel mapping, top 3 quantified leaks, priority hypotheses to dig into, drawn from GA4, Hotjar, support tickets.

  • Interview synthesis

    Five user interviews (3 customers, 2 non-converted), jobs-to-be-done extracted, key frictions documented.

  • Target architecture

    Technical schema, justified stack choices, debt identified, migration plan if rebuild.

  • 90-day roadmap

    Quick wins (1–3 wks), structural rebuild (4–8 wks), optimisation (9–12 wks) — quantified, prioritised by impact × effort.

How we work

  1. 01

    Day 1 — Audit & analytics

    We get inside the house. Analytics, dashboards, support — we map the funnel and note obvious biases.

  2. 02

    Day 2 — Interviews

    Five 30-minute conversations. No more. Whisper transcription, JTBD and frustrations extraction.

  3. 03

    Day 3 — Stack & competitive

    Technical audit, direct competitors benchmark, quantified positioning matrix.

  4. 04

    Day 4–5 — Roadmap & restitution

    Synthesis, target architecture, 90-day roadmap, restitution workshop with open challenge and signed go/no-go.

Use cases

  • Before a rebuild

    Avoid redoing the same product with a fresh design — challenge product hypotheses first.

  • Before a build

    Scope a realistic MVP, not the dream app from stakeholders' kick-off.

  • Quick diagnosis

    When the product exists but KPIs stagnate — understand what's stuck without a 3-month audit.
