Creates a shared understanding of the business problem before development decisions are made.
Discovery & Solution Strategy
Clarify the problem, map the workflow and define the right solution before committing to development.
01 · Overview
Software projects become difficult when development begins before the underlying business problem is properly understood. Aetarix works with your team to examine the current process, identify how information and responsibility move, clarify constraints and decide what should be solved first. The result may be a proposed custom system, integration, automation opportunity, improvement to an existing platform or a recommendation not to build unnecessary software. Discovery may be included as the opening phase of a larger project or offered separately, depending on the situation and mutual agreement.

It may be included within a larger project or offered as a separate paid engagement. This depends on the complexity, required work, expected deliverables and mutual agreement.
The output may include a problem definition, workflow map, prioritized requirements, proposed scope, technical recommendations, risks and next-step options. Exact deliverables are agreed beforehand.
No. The responsible recommendation may be to improve an existing process, integrate current tools, automate part of a workflow or delay development until requirements are clearer.
