STRATEGIC DIAGNOSTICS
Product Foundation
Sprint
Strategic clarity before expensive commitments – Before you commit to tooling, development, or launch—you need strategic clarity. Product Foundation Sprint is our diagnostic approach, offered in three variants depending on your trigger moment. The first step is always a 30-minute consultation where we understand your context and recommend the right diagnostic. During the engagement, we diagnose root issues and prescribe the next steps—which often reveals opportunities for deeper partnership.
Three diagnostics, one outcome:
clarity before commitment
Each diagnostic is specialized for a specific trigger moment. Not sure which fits your situation? Book a consultation—we'll recommend the right starting point based on your timeline, budget, and context.
| Industrial Design Audit | UX Boost | Product Vision | |
| Best for | Pre-commitment validation | UX diagnostic & prioritization | Strategic vision development |
| Trigger moment | Before tooling/regulatory | Users frustrated | Team lacks clarity |
| Timeline | 1 week | 2-4 weeks | 4 weeks |
| Investment | CHF 6,500 | CHF 12-15k | CHF 15-20k |
| Deliverable | Findings + recommendation (proceed/pivot/refine) | Prioritized UX fix plan | Product Vision Document |
| Outcome | Confidence or course-correction before irreversible decisions | Know exactly what to fix and in what order | Team aligned on differentiation before development |
