What is a discovery phase?

Why it matters for your project

Many budget overruns start with requirements nobody wrote down. A short discovery phase finds the hard questions while they're cheap to answer: on paper, rather than in code.

What it costs

At VowDev the discovery phase is called the Blueprint. It takes 1–2 weeks, costs $390, $690 or $990 depending on the project's size, and the fee is credited in full to your build.

Example

For a fitness app, discovery produces clickable screens for sign-up, workouts and progress, a list of every feature with its hours, and a fixed quote with milestone dates.
