What you get

What you get is clarity in the middle of uncertainty. We dig into your riskiest bets, pressure-test them, and surface the signals that matter. You’ll see where the real value lies, which ideas deserve investment, and which ones should be cut before they burn time and money. The result: evidence, frameworks, and tools that make decisions faster, align your team, and give design and development a clear path forward.

Clear validation of your biggest assumptions

We put your riskiest product bets under the microscope. Through targeted research and fast experiments, you’ll know which assumptions hold true — and which don’t — so your team can move forward with evidence instead of guesswork.

Confidence in what to build (and what to kill)

Not every idea deserves development time. We separate signals from noise, giving you the clarity to double down on what creates value and cut features, messages, or concepts that drain resources.

Strategic inputs ready to fuel design, development, or stakeholder buy-in

Discovery outputs aren’t just reports — they’re decision tools. You’ll walk away with actionable recommendations, frameworks, and insights that give design and engineering teams a clear direction, while helping you win alignment from stakeholders or investors.

How We Work

Discovery is not a standalone phase. Our work blends research, experimentation, and strategy. These insights aren’t just interesting, they’re actionable. Each method is chosen to reduce uncertainty where it matters most-product-market fit, messaging, UX, pricing, and feature scope.

Understand

Every product carries hidden risks: will people care, will they pay, will they stay? We uncover answers before you commit resources. By running interviews, surveys, market mapping, and targeted experiments, we pressure-test your riskiest assumptions. Instead of guessing, you’ll know which beliefs about your market, users, or product stand up to evidence and which need to be rethought, saving months of wasted effort.

Validate

Not all ideas earn their keep. We separate value drivers from distractions through prototype testing, in-app experiments, A/B tests, and fake-door validations. The outcome is a clear signal of what’s worth scaling and what should be dropped before it eats up development cycles. With the noise filtered out, your team can double down on what creates adoption, engagement, and ROI.

Optimize

Discovery outputs aren’t just insights on a slide — they’re tools for decisions and action. We translate findings into frameworks, roadmaps, and prioritized recommendations that guide product design and engineering. At the same time, you gain the evidence you need to align leadership, investors, or internal teams. The result is momentum: a clear direction everyone can rally behind.

The Impact

We keep the process structured but flexible, adapting it to the specific challenges and context of your product. Each step is designed to cut uncertainty and translate findings into practical outcomes. You’ll always know what’s happening, why it matters, and how the insights connect back to your business goals. The result is a clear path forward — built on evidence, not assumptions.

01

Initial meeting

We'll ask you a series of questions about your business, products, uncertainties, assumptions, and goals. These will be translated into clear research objectives.

02

Budget & timing

Every problem can be approached using different methods. To recommend the most suitable options, we need to understand your timeframe and budget.

03

Research plan

Based on your requirements, we’ll come back to you with a custom research proposal and plan.

04

Conducting research

Depending on the method chosen, research may take anywhere from 2 days to 4 weeks. You’re welcome to observe certain sessions (e.g., focus groups, in-depth interviews, co-creation workshops).

05

Report & presentation

You'll receive a report with actionable recommendations and suggested next steps. The format will be customized to your needs. Whether that’s a simple Excel list or a polished pitch deck, we’ll make sure it fits your context.

Our North Star: Data-Driven ≠ Slow

Research shouldn’t delay your launch: it should make your next step obvious. We run lean, iterative discovery loops tailored to your stage and challenge. From guerrilla surveys to executive-aligned strategic validations, our toolkit lets us flex between scrappy and rigorous.

  • Every insight must lead to a decision
  • Research must answer “so what?”
  • The best experiment is the one we can run tomorrow
  • Design and dev teams are always downstream of clarity

Packages That Fit Your Stage

Modular by design. Scalable by need. Start small with a focused sprint or embed us for ongoing support. Wherever you are, you’ll get the evidence to move forward with confidence.

Product Snapshot

A rapid check on one core idea: a feature, a message, or a user need. In just a few days, we run targeted tests that reveal if the concept has traction. Perfect when you need quick answers to keep momentum without overcommitting. Light-weight validation of one feature, message, or need.

Length: ~2–5 days

Research Sprint

A deeper dive into the assumptions that carry the most risk. We combine qualitative research, prototype validation, and fast experiments to give you a clear view of user demand and market fit. Use it to cut uncertainty around product direction or to align stakeholders before development starts. A week or two of deep, focused research to de-risk your biggest assumption.

Length: 5-10 days

Fractional Insights Team

Plug us into your product organization as an ongoing insights partner. We handle continuous discovery, research, and testing—feeding your roadmap with evidence and spotting opportunities or risks early. Ideal when you need a steady flow of validation and strategic input without hiring a full in-house team. Ongoing strategic product support-research, testing, and insight ops.

Length: Monthly

Our Edge in Product Discovery

Product discovery isn’t about collecting insights for the sake of it. It’s about proving which ideas deserve time, capital, technology, and attention: and which should be cut early. Our approach blends research, strategy, and experimentation to give you clarity and confidence before you build.

Not just research: product thinking

We don’t stop at gathering data. Every method we use is tied directly to product outcomes: validating demand, shaping features, and building business cases that lead to adoption and ROI.

Cross-functional from the start

Discovery isn’t siloed. Our teams blend product strategists, UX designers, engineers, and data analysts from day one. That mix gives you insights that are not only user-driven but also technically feasible and strategically sound.

We say "no" when it matters

Our role isn’t to validate everything you put on the table — it’s to help you avoid costly missteps. If an idea doesn’t stand up to evidence, we’ll make it clear. Saying “no” at the right time protects resources and sharpens focus on the ideas that can truly win.

Accelerated timelines, no compromises

You don’t need to choose between speed and depth. We’re used to shipping lean but rigorous insights in a week or less, so your team can make decisions quickly without cutting corners.

Experience in various markets

We’ve conducted research and experimentation across industries and geographies, adapting methods to different cultural and market contexts. Our track record spans the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, the United Kingdom, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of South Africa, Morocco, Algeria, and France. This breadth means we can spot patterns, anticipate challenges, and guide you with tested practices that work globally.
