03 · Figure out what we should build

Don’t start by building.Start by finding the right thing to build.

The Opportunity Workshop is a short, fixed-price engagement: we study how your business actually works, find where the friction and the opportunities are, and give you a practical plan for what should happen next — including what isn’t worth doing.

$2.5K–$7.5K A fixed-scope workshop, usually two to four weeks. How pricing works

You’re probably here because

  • “We need to do something with AI”
  • “We think we need a new website”
  • “We have too many spreadsheets”
  • “Our process is a mess”
  • “We might need an app”
  • “There has to be a better way to do this”

What the work involves

  1. Understand the business

    How the work actually flows: the approvals, the handoffs, the systems, and the parts that only work because someone remembers to do them.

  2. Find the friction

    Where time is going, where customers drop out, where staff are doing by hand what software should be doing, and what it’s costing you.

  3. Look at what you already have

    The tools you pay for, what they do well, and where a small change would beat a new build. Buying less is a legitimate outcome.

  4. Identify where AI and automation help

    Concretely, in your workflow — and, just as usefully, where it would be an expensive distraction.

  5. Prioritize and plan

    The opportunities ranked by value and effort, a recommendation on what to do first, and realistic investment ranges for each.

  6. Prototype the strongest idea

    Where it helps, something you can click through, so the decision is made against a real thing rather than a document.

Five steps, no mystery

  1. 01

    Understand

    What the business needs, who it serves, and what the site or app actually has to do. Before anything gets designed.

  2. 02

    Design

    Structure first, then the look: what goes where, how it works, and how it feels to use. You see real screens early.

  3. 03

    Build

    Designers and engineers on the same team, so what gets built is what was designed — fast, accessible and maintainable.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Testing, performance, accessibility, analytics, search and the unglamorous checks that make a launch boring in the best way.

  5. 05

    Grow

    Real usage tells us what to change next: search visibility, conversion, new features, and the things you couldn't know before people arrived.

Tell us what’s going on.

A few sentences is enough. You’ll get a straight answer about what it would take — and whether we’re the right people for it.
