MISSION BRIEF
Structured technical discovery that turns your idea into a buildable plan — architecture docs, PRDs, sprint roadmaps, and database schemas.

▸ OVERVIEW
Most software projects fail in the first two weeks — before the first commit. Wrong scope, wrong stack, wrong assumptions baked into a roadmap nobody questioned. Our discovery engagements exist to catch those failures cheaply, in a doc, instead of expensively, in production.
We pair senior engineers with your product, design, and business leads to produce three artefacts: a PRD a developer can build from, an architecture diagram an investor can defend, and a roadmap your finance team can budget against. Two-to-four weeks. Fixed price. No code.
▸ WHAT WE DELIVER
User stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, non-functional requirements — written for the team that will build it.
System diagram, data model, integration points, scaling assumptions, build vs buy decisions with rationale.
Languages, frameworks, vendors, hosting — chosen for your team's skills, not the architect's CV.
Milestones, dependencies, critical path, identified risks. Phased so value lands early.
Range-based estimate by phase, with the assumptions and unknowns stated so finance can model scenarios.
What can go wrong, how likely, mitigation. Not an afterthought — a deliverable.
▸ WHO IT'S FOR
▸ OUTCOMES YOU CAN EXPECT
▸ HOW WE WORK
We meet your founders, users, ops, finance — anyone who has a stake in what gets built.
Budget, timeline, regulatory, team skill, existing infra. Strategy is the art of working inside constraints.
Two or three architecture options with tradeoffs, costs, and risk profiles. You decide.
PRD, architecture doc, roadmap, estimate — handed over with a walkthrough for your team.
▸ FREQUENTLY ASKED
No. About a third of discovery clients build elsewhere. The artefacts are yours to use however you want — that's the point.
Most engagements are 2–4 weeks. Anything longer usually means the project itself is underscoped — which is exactly what we're here to find out.
We'll tell you. Sometimes the right deliverable is "don't build this yet — go run these three experiments first."
Yes — and we prefer to. They'll own this after we leave; their buy-in is part of the deliverable.
▸ THE ITI-X DIFFERENCE
You get a document you can hand to any dev team and they'll know exactly what to build, in what order, and why.
READY TO DEPLOY
Let's build, secure, design, or lead — together.
