Before the first line of code was written, we had to address three significant roadblocks that make the psychedelic space one of the most difficult digital environments to navigate. Find out how we overcome them in the case below.
Explore CaseThread & Bloom – Cultivating Online Style to Rise Conversion Rate Twice and Gain New Market
We approached Thread & Bloom with the rigor we reserve for category leaders. That means planning for 10 times current traffic, engineering for milliseconds at the edge, and shaping the experience with real behavior, not hunches. The end result improved key metrics across the funnel and gave the brand a canvas for growth, content, and new lines. It also gave the leadership team something they value even more: control and clarity.
Explore CaseBridging the Gap Between Educational Facilities and Volunteering Organisations with an All-in-one Platform
Though the general vision of the platform was quite straightforward, a primary challenge was aligning the different visions of the client's team. We overcame this by centralising all feedback and requirements into a single document with further analysis and prioritisation. Later with using Figma prototypes and video presentations, we demonstrated a clear and logical user flow. This helped everyone see the product's potential in a unified way.
Explore CaseKey components of our product discovery phase
Duration: from 2 weeks to 2 months.
Back up your idea with proper research on the people you're targeting, the competition out there, and the problem you're trying to solve. Select the application architecture and technologies that best fit the product's requirements. Get a product development roadmap with cost estimates and timelines. We've got it all covered.
User Research
Through meticulously crafted customer development sessions, Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) analysis, and customer journey mapping, we delve into the heart of your audience's needs. We normally conduct 30 comprehensive interviews to get insights from the actual users your product is meant to serve.
- Identify user research goals
- Define user personas
- Choose a recruitment strategy
- Extract and arrange user insights
- Conduct interviews
Market Analysis
By applying various strategic tools, such as SWOT analysis, Business Model Canvas, and Value Proposition Canvas, we explore the essence and viability of your product. Our approach goes beyond the surface – we analyze market trends, such as the integration of AI, to identify points of growth and untapped opportunities.
- Define the market's growth trajectory
- Discover trends and opportunities
- Research the competition
- Refine your value proposition
- Assess your business model
- Calculate unit economics
- Make financial predictions
- Build a go-to-market strategy
Prototyping & Validation
We take what we've learned from talking to users and studying the market, and use that to create a prototype of your future product. We'll test the prototype with your potential users, continuously improving it based on their feedback. Then, we'll send it over to you, with full confidence that it's precisely what your customers will love.
- Define the core features
- Create wireframes to visualize the product
- Turn wireframes into a clickable prototype
- Set key validation criteria and metrics
- Conduct testing with a representative user group
- Make iterative improvements to the prototype
Technology & Architecture
We pick the technology that matches the product's functional and non-functional requirements and is ideal for the product's purpose. At this stage, we also perform a technology risk assessment and set security standards that may include following Privacy Shield, CCPA, or GDPR rules, implementing data protection 'by design and by default' measures, and sticking to tech guidelines from OWASP.
- Document functional and non-functional requirements
- Select appropriate technology
- Design the overall product architecture
- Assess technology risks
- Define data storage solutions and strategies
- Address specific requirements for particular industries
- Define testing methods and tools
- Create a technical specification
Product Development Roadmap
Lastly, we wrap up our discovery process by creating a roadmap for product development. This roadmap acts as a clear action plan, laying out key milestones and what will be delivered, along with estimated timelines. This provides you with a clear picture of when different parts of functionality will be completed, giving you everything you need to kickstart your product realization.
- Identify major milestones in the product's development
- List the core functionalities to be developed
- Specify the estimated start and end dates for each milestone
- Estimate the budget required for each phase
- Provide a glimpse of the product's long-term vision and potential future directions
