The Discovery Phase

The Discovery phase uncovers the true potential of your project by translating rough ideas into clear strategies.

Before a single line of code is written or a single pixel is pushed, our Discovery process ensures your project is built on a foundation of certainty, not assumptions. We dive deep into your unique challenges and opportunities, aligning your vision with market realities and user needs. This means you gain a crystal-clear roadmap to completion, which saves you time, resources, and prevents costly mistakes in the future.

Discovery is the foundation of our process, mapping your vision and resources to the needs of your customers.

Our Discovery process includes:

• Mission & Vision Alignment: We ensure your goals online are aligned with your business objectives in the real world.
  
• Project Plan Development: We create a detailed roadmap, giving you clarity on scope, timelines, and deliverables.
  
• Heuristic Analysis & Interviews: We assess existing systems and gather direct insights from stakeholders, customers, and users.
  
• Immersion & Debriefing: We understand your business environment and synthesize our findings into a comprehensive Discovery Brief.

What makes us different is our evidence-based design approach. We don't simply rely on aesthetics; we gather information through proven methodologies like Human-Centered Design and Story Mapping to ensure every strategic recommendation is grounded in the best practices of the industry. This foundation minimizes risk and maximizes your project's potential for success.

We transform uncertainty into clarity.

Business people should not commit resources to a project without clear direction. Otherwise, assumptions lead to scope creep, budget overruns, and a final product that misses the mark. You can trust Elephant & Falcon because our process is built on transparency and measurable results. We prove it by delivering a comprehensive Discovery Brief and Project Plan that clearly outlines the "what," "why," and "how" of the matter before significant investment. Our 30 years of experience working with diverse clients, from large corporations to startups, demonstrates our ability to consistently deliver foundational clarity.
