Business & process discovery

The first phase: we map how your business really works, decide together what is worth building, and price it, before anyone writes a line of code.

Who it's for

Discovery is for small and mid-sized companies that suspect they are losing time to manual work and disconnected systems but need a clear, costed plan rather than a guess. Nothing proceeds on assumption, and nothing gets built just because it is possible.

How it works

Four steps, two to four weeks

Short cycles: interviews and system reviews up front, then a draft roadmap you react to. You get a priced plan at the end, not an open-ended research bill.

Week 1

Interviews

We sit with the people who do the work and document the real steps, including the spreadsheet workarounds and email handoffs that never made it into any diagram.

Weeks 1–2

Systems audit

We inventory the tools, spreadsheets, and handoffs in use and mark exactly where data breaks, stalls, or gets re-keyed by hand.

Weeks 2–3

Opportunity ranking

We rank where software or automation returns the most, weighing the effort of each fix against the hours and cost it recovers.

Weeks 3–4

Priced roadmap

We turn findings into a sequenced plan with scope, cost, and timeline for each build, agreed with you before any work starts.

Along the way:where a quick prototype sharpens a decision, we build one. A working version of the highest-value opportunity, ready to try before you commit.

What you get

Five deliverables you own outright

Discovery is a standalone engagement. Everything below is yours to keep, whether or not you build with us.

Process map

A documented map covering the workflows that matter most to the business, step by step, as they actually run.

Ranked opportunity list

Software and automation opportunities ordered by estimated payback, so you know what to do first.

Systems audit

An inventory of current tools, data flows, and integration gaps, with every break point marked.

Sequenced roadmap

A build plan with scope, cost, and timeline per phase. Use it to plan budget, brief other teams, or start building.

Working prototype

Where it helps a decision, a working prototype of the highest-value opportunity you can try yourself.

Outcomes

What changes after discovery

You know exactly which problems are worth solving and in what order.

Every proposed build has a price and an expected return before you commit.

Your teams agree on one shared picture of how the business actually runs.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

How long does discovery take?
Most discovery engagements run two to four weeks, depending on how many teams and systems are involved. Evertech works in short cycles: interviews and system reviews up front, then a draft roadmap you react to. You get a priced plan at the end, not an open-ended research bill that keeps running.
Do we have to commit to a build afterward?
No. Discovery is a standalone engagement. You receive the process map, opportunity ranking, and priced roadmap, and you own them outright. Many clients use the roadmap to plan budget or brief other teams. If you do proceed, the agreed scope and pricing carry straight into the build phase.
Who from our side needs to be involved?
Mainly the people who do the work: team leads and operators who know the real steps and the workarounds. Evertech runs short interviews and a few working sessions, so the time commitment stays modest. One sponsor who can confirm priorities and approve the final roadmap keeps everything moving.
