Product discovery before development starts
We work through the idea, users, business model and key scenarios so development starts from a clear scope, not from guesses.

What’s included
The parts the work is made of — and where to read more about related formats.
01
Idea and business model
What problem the product solves, who it's for and how it will make money. We spell this out so the result is usable for an estimate, build or handover without guesswork.

- 03How it makes money

Who it’s for
- 01
Founders with an idea that needs to become a clear product
- 02
Companies launching a new line of business or an internal service
- 03
Teams with a backlog of tasks but no shared picture of the product
Tell us the task — we’ll outline scope, timeline and cost
The brief takes a few minutes. We reply with the next step, risks, timeline and a cost range.
How the work goes
Stage 1
Brief and materials
We pin down the goal and gather what already exists.
- Goals and business context
- Documents, code and data, if any
- Who makes decisions
- Timeline and budget constraints
Stage 2
Analysis
We work through users, processes and constraints.
- Conversations with the team and process review
- Users and roles
- Scenarios and data
- Technical constraints
Stage 3
Design and document
Decisions are put into a written result.
- Structure and priorities
- Architecture or requirements
- Risks and assumptions
- Written document
Stage 4
Review and next step
We go through the document and decide what’s next.
- Walkthrough together
- Answers to the team’s questions
- Implementation estimate
- Handover to your team
Why TIVONIX
- 01
One owner of the result
The work is led by the TIVONIX founder: responsibility isn’t spread across contractors and decisions are made quickly.
- 02
Analysis you can build from
Documents cover roles, data, integrations and architecture — ready for development, not just for a slide deck.
- 03
Code and access stay with you
Source code, access, environment settings and instructions are handed to the client. The project isn’t locked to us.
- 04
Built in working parts
We show working parts of the system, not pictures: interface, server side, admin panel and integrations.
More in Product & Strategy

- Business AnalysisWe turn business processes and requirements into roles, scenarios, states and technical logic.
- Technical ArchitectureWe design the architecture, data model, API, integrations, security and infrastructure.
- Technical AuditWe find architectural issues, technical debt, security risks and scaling limits.
- Product Implementation PlanA ready implementation plan: scope, architecture, processes, backlog, risks, milestones and estimate.
FAQ
How is discovery different from a spec?
Discovery answers “what and why to build”, a spec answers “how exactly”. The discovery result becomes the basis for the spec and the estimate.
Do I need a finished idea?
A direction and an understanding of who the product is for are enough. We work out the rest together.
Can I order only the analysis, without development?
Yes. You get written materials any team can work from. Building with us is not required.
How is the cost formed?
It depends on scope: how many roles, screens and scenarios, which integrations and launch requirements, and what already exists. Scope and price are fixed in writing after reviewing the task — before work starts.
How long does it take?
It depends on scope and on what already exists. We name the timeline after reviewing the task and split the work into stages with intermediate results, so you see progress instead of waiting for the end.
What do you need to get started?
A short description of the product and users, the task, and whatever exists already: designs, code, documents, access. That’s enough for a brief — we reply with the next step, risks, timeline and a cost range.
Which industries do you work with?
SaaS, fintech, e-commerce and internal systems. Launched projects include a booking marketplace, an AI commerce platform, a music fintech platform and a partner dashboard.
Who keeps the code and access?
You do. Source code, access and clear documentation are handed over to the client.
