Discovery helps turn a sufficiently clear product direction into a delivery decision. A code assessment examines an existing system and the work needed to change it safely. The right starting point depends on what is uncertain.
Choose the question first - Discovery: What should we build, which architecture and milestones make sense, and what can be included in an implementation offer? - Code or takeover assessment: Can the existing system be built and released, who controls it, where are the main risks, and what should be repaired first? - Earlier validation: Do people need this product at all? That may require customer research and product work before a build roadmap.
Wavect's published Discovery + Roadmap offer currently lists EUR 3,500 plus applicable VAT and a typical two-to-three-week phase. Its core outputs are architecture, milestones and a fixed-price build offer. Research depth and additional artifacts must be agreed in the scope. If Wavect implements the project, the published offer credits the Discovery fee against the final build invoice.
Before commissioning, agree the decision to be made, the inputs you provide, deliverables, exclusions and the review meeting. Discovery does not promise a commercially successful product or include every possible study.
