Great products start with a great plan. Our software product discovery phase helps you validate your idea and define the best path forward while optimizing development costs along the way.

About us

Dualboot Partners goes beyond software development to help companies turn ideas into scalable, market-ready products. We provide the expertise and support you need to innovate and grow in a changing marketplace.

We help companies build successful digital products through software product discovery. Our structured discovery phase ensures that your product is built on a solid foundation—aligning business goals, user needs, and technical feasibility from day one.

Achieve better outcomes with software product discovery

A poorly defined scope, rushed planning, or misaligned expectations can derail a project before it even starts. Our software product discovery process helps you reduce risks, validate assumptions, and set a clear path forward by:

  • Clarifying your goals and identifying the core problems your product aims to solve.
  • Exploring solutions through a deep understanding of your business and user needs.
  • Defining scope and technology with a structured assessment to estimate effort and feasibility.
  • Building alignment by introducing you to the team and identifying key stakeholders.
  • Laying a strong foundation with insights and documentation that guide design and development.

With the right strategy in place, you can move forward with confidence – knowing your product is built for success.

Businesses we empower

Startup founders and tech entrepreneurs

If you have a great product idea but lack the technical expertise to bring it to life, we’ll help you validate and refine your concept through a structured process before you invest in development.

Our expertise helps you overcome uncertainties about technical feasibility, development costs, and maintenance requirements while defining the optimal project scope for a successful commercial launch.

Product managers in SMEs and enterprises

As a product owner or innovation leader who typically works within tight budget constraints, you’ll benefit from having a clear project roadmap and ready-to-use strategies to prevent scope creep and maintain alignment with established business goals.

Our discovery workshops and a thorough technical validation process help you build an operational MVP (minimum viable product) within your budget without compromising quality or missing deadlines.

Chief technical officers and department heads

Whether you are a senior decision maker or a CTO responsible for defining high-level technical requirements and making architectural decisions, our product discovery services are right for you.

We understand your pain points and address them through our expert-led discovery sessions to help you refine requirements, select the most balanced technology stacks, and thoroughly assess potential production risks.

Non-tech executives and venture investors

Whether you’re a non-technical business leader or a VC, we’ll provide clear insight into the product-market fit and potential return on investment for your potential project.

Our product discovery services will give you a complete understanding of the overall technical feasibility and cost/benefit relationship. In addition, we can significantly reduce investment risk through comprehensive analysis and planning.

Partner with Dualboot for a clear, strategic approach to product discovery — ensuring your vision is built for success.

Our software product development process

Collaboration
& ideation

Every product discovery phase starts with open collaboration.

When you partner with Dualboot Partners, you’ll work with the same team that could eventually build your product—ensuring a smooth transition from discovery to development. This consistency eliminates knowledge gaps and keeps communication seamless.

Through software product discovery workshops and in-depth discussions, we align on your vision, business goals, and user needs.

Your active participation and timely feedback help lay the groundwork for a successful project.

Analysis
& design

Once we have a thorough understanding of your business processes and pain points, we dive deep into analyzing existing systems and market solutions to validate technical and business assumptions.

This helps us identify improvement opportunities and define the project’s scope.

We then architect your product at a high level, outlining key features and selecting the best technologies, cloud service types, and database options that will make the product usable, reliable, and commercially successful.

Estimates & presentation

Once we have a clear project roadmap, we provide a detailed effort and cost estimate for different implementation scenarios, weighing efficiency and trade-offs.

Most software product discovery phases take 6-8 weeks for small to medium projects and 10-12 weeks for larger, more complex solutions with multiple dependencies.

At the end of the process, you’ll receive a comprehensive set of deliverables that can guide development—whether with our team or a vendor of your choice.

Product discovery deliverables

Every software product discovery project is tailored to your needs. The deliverables may vary based on project size, complexity, technologies, and business goals, but the goal remains the same—to set you up for success.

  • Our standard discovery package includes:

    • Exploratory research and benchmarking results
    • Functional software requirements specification (SRS)
    • Project plan and cost estimate
    • Technical stack recommendations and a list of preselected team members
    • Agreed-upon scope description and project roadmap
    • Architecture specification
    • Clickable UI prototype (Figma)
  • Need additional insights? We can also provide:

Flexible product discovery options

We tailor our software product discovery services to match your project’s complexity, goals, and stage of development. Choose the approach that best fits your needs:

On-site discovery workshops

While most software product discovery workshops happen remotely, some projects require a deeper, hands-on approach. For complex software development initiatives, we offer on-site sessions to explore your business operations, visit production facilities, and align with key stakeholders in person.

Iterative discovery

For large-scale software product development projects with multiple integrations and dependencies, a one-time discovery phase isn’t always enough.

Our iterative discovery process ensures ongoing analysis as new functionalities are built, keeping your project scope refined and aligned with evolving needs.

MVP-driven discovery

Launching with a minimum viable product (MVP) is a smart way to test market demand and secure early adopters.

We help define and prioritize essential features, shaping an MVP that provides immediate value while ensuring seamless scalability for future growth.
