AI Project Discovery & Monitoring Phase

Building custom software, especially with AI, is complex. Without a clear plan, projects risk delays and extra costs. Our expert team sets goals, identifies risks, and uncovers opportunities for a smooth start.

Who is Discovery Phase for?

Custom Solution Needed

If you require custom development because no existing tech solution meets your needs.

Idea Validation

If you want to optimize current operations with AI/ML but are unsure how to implement it effectively.

AI/ML Optimization

If you have an idea to explore and want to validate its feasibility before development.

Not For

Ad Hoc Engineering

If you just need an engineer for ad hoc tasks.

Generative AI

Create images, videos, and text at scale with AI-powered content generation.

Budget Constraints

If it’s impossible to implement your idea technically within your budget.

The Discovery Process

  • We set up communication and gather project details.
    You can expect:

    • Regular calls to understand your business and market
    • Dedicated channels for collaboration where you are getting regular updates from the team of : Business Analyst, Project Manager, UI/UX Designer, and AI Architect.

  • We take the information you provided and investigate deeper.

    • Here each team member conducts research
    • While regularly syncing to align findings and refine the approach

  • The technical foundation for the project is mapped out.

    • A technical prototype is created outlining the system architecture
    • We should be able to see how it exactly would work from technical point

  • Once the technical architecture is confirmed, we can visualize it.

    • A UI/UX Designer creates a high-level visual representation of the product/solution in Figma

  • Time to present findings and a clear action plan:

    • With a clear roadmap: development scope, cost estimates, and business value to develop your idea in the most business effective way possible

deliverables

[1]

SRS Document

Dedicated channels for collaboration where you are getting regular updates from the team of : Business Analyst, Project Manager, UI/UX Designer, and AI Architect.
[2]

Functional Decomposition Document

It breaks a system into smaller parts, listing high-level features (epics) and their tasks (use cases) with details on what each part needs to do.
[3]

Solution Architecture Proposal

It is a high-level plan that outlines how a system’s components—frontend, backend, databases, and external tools—work together to solve a specific problem.
[4]

UI/UX Design Prototype

A UI/UX Design Prototype is a visual mockup that illustrates an application’s layout, user flows, and interactions, helping the team understand navigation and user experience.

Case Study

Stevens Industries: 
Part I Project Discovery

The Discover phase focused on validating the technical feasibility and defining a clear implementation plan. It began with in-depth research led by COXIT team, to assess whether machine learning could effectively solve the problem.
