Why get a scope?
Most apps don’t fail because of bad development — they fail because of unclear requirements, wrong assumptions, and missed risks.
In summary, having an expert design a scope for an app before starting the build can provide a clear understanding of the project's goals, reduce costs, streamline development, improve communication, and provide a competitive advantage.
Clarity of Goals
A scope helps to clarify the goals and objectives of the app. It outlines the features, functionalities, and requirements of the app, which will give the founder a clear understanding of what the app is supposed to achieve.
Cost-Effectiveness
By having a scope, the founder can get an accurate cost estimate for the development of the app. This can help avoid costly surprises during the development process and help to keep the project on budget.
Efficient development process
A clear scope will ensure that the development process is more efficient as the developers will have a clear understanding of what they need to build, how it should work, and how it should look. This can lead to fewer errors, less rework, and a shorter development time.
Better communication
A specification document can serve as a communication tool between the founder and the development team. It can help to ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals, leading to better collaboration and fewer misunderstandings.
Competitive advantage
Having a well-designed scope can give the startup a competitive advantage. It can help to differentiate the app from competitors and make it more appealing to potential customers and investors.
In the scope?
Our App Scoping phase turns your idea into a clear, validated, build-ready plan. Before you invest heavily in development, we help you define what to build, why it matters, and how to build it efficiently.
With a completed scope, you get:

Feature List
The feature list is a concise, summary of the key functionalities an app provides. It outlines what the app can do from a user or business perspective, helping stakeholders quickly understand the app’s capabilities, scope, and value.
