## Common problems

### You know the problem, but not the right solution

Different tools and approaches sound promising, but the tradeoffs are difficult to compare.

### A project needs a clearer plan

Unclear requirements and assumptions can leave teams working toward different outcomes.

### Existing systems need an independent review

A practical assessment helps identify risks and priorities before the next investment.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can we work with you before deciding what to build?

Yes. Discovery is designed to clarify the problem and evaluate the options before committing to development. The output can be a scope, prototype, assessment, or technology roadmap depending on your needs.

### Can you review a system built by another vendor?

Yes, when you can provide the necessary authorization and access. We agree on the review scope and deliver a practical assessment with evidence and prioritized recommendations.

### Does consulting have to lead to a development project?

No. A consulting engagement can stand on its own. The goal is to give your team a useful basis for deciding what to do next, including improving an existing process or using an available tool.

### What should we prepare for the first conversation?

A description of the business problem, the people affected, the tools you currently use, and any known constraints is enough to start. Existing process notes or screenshots are useful, but a finished specification is not required.
