Business Discovery, Requirements & Product Roadmapping
Not Sure What to Build? That Is the Right Place to Start.
The most expensive mistake in software is building the wrong thing. Product Management & Discovery is the work that happens before the build.
I have led product at a household-name travel brand, managed customer-facing applications for a B+ enterprise, and co-founded a govtech AI company from zero. I know what it takes to go from a conversation to a spec a development team can execute.
What this covers
What's Included
Business Process Discovery
I map how your business actually works — where time goes, where decisions get made, where things slow down or break. This is the foundation everything else is built on.
Requirements Documentation
Clear, actionable requirements written in plain English — not developer jargon. You can read it, approve it, and hold anyone accountable to it.
Technology Recommendation
A specific recommendation for what to build or implement — with a clear rationale. Not a list of every tool on the market. The right answer for your situation.
Prioritized Roadmap
What to do first, what to defer, and what to skip entirely. A realistic sequence based on impact, effort, and your budget.
Honest Cost Estimates
What implementation will likely cost — broken down by phase. So you can make an informed decision before committing to anything.
No Lock-In
The strategy document is yours completely. Use it with me, take it to another developer, or use it to decide not to build at all.
The process
How It Works
Deep Dive Conversation
We start by mapping your business — how work flows, who makes decisions, where things break down. I ask the questions most developers never think to ask.
Document the Requirements
I translate what I learn into clear, plain-English requirements that anyone can read and approve.
Deliver the Roadmap
You receive a complete requirements and roadmap document — yours to use however you want.
Investment
What This Costs
Discovery engagements typically range from ,500 to ,000 depending on the complexity of your business processes. If you proceed to a build with Brincore, the discovery cost is credited toward the project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to build with you after discovery?
No. The deliverable is yours to use however you want — with me, another developer, or not at all.
What if I already know what I want to build?
Then we skip straight to requirements and validation. A quick discovery conversation is always worth it — even if it just confirms you are on the right track.
How long does discovery take?
Simple engagements take one to two weeks. Complex business process mapping can take three to four weeks. I will scope it clearly before we start.
