Discovery workshop
Most software projects fail in the first meeting, not the last sprint. Our Discovery Workshop hands you a validated scope, a real cost band, and a prototype plan so you’re the most informed person in the room before any contract gets signed.
Leave with a validated scope, a real cost band and a prototype plan
5 slots left for July - senior architects run every session
The problem. Where does it hurt?
Pick the situation that sounds like yours every session runs against a playbook pre-loaded with case studies and ROI benchmarks from companies that had your exact problem.
“Our legacy system is holding us hostage.”
You can't find developers for the old stack, and a full rewrite feels like a bet-the-company move. We map an incremental path zero downtime, rollback always ready.
“My team drowns in manual work.”
Spreadsheets, re-keying, systems that won't talk. We audit the process, price every manual hour, and rank the automations by payback speed with a number attached.
“I know what we need. Nobody’s built it yet.”
You have the idea and the domain expertise. We pressure-test the concept, cut scope to what earns revenue, and plan a clickable prototype before any contract.

The problem. Where does it hurt?
Written for the CTO who wants to know exactly what they’re signing up for. This is the whole thing.
The free session
$0 · this is what you’re booking below
You pick a slot. Name, email, done. No qualification form, no phone number required.
Instant confirmation. What to expect, who you’ll meet, and a mutual NDA pre-signed by us, optional for you.
Invite from your architect. A named senior architect look them up on LinkedIn before the call.
The session, agenda-run.
Written recap memo. The initial read in writing useful internally even if you stop here. Many do. That’s fine.
Stop here: you’ve spent $0 and gained a document your team can act on.
The full workshop
$4,500 · credited 100% to your build
Stakeholder interviews + event storming. We talk to the people who actually use the system not just the org chart then map your business logic end to end.
Prototype & architecture. Interactive mockups plus the technical evaluation stack, risks, integration points.
Final presentation. Roadmap, cost band, ROI model, prototype. Everything in writing. Everything yours.
Stop at any day whatever exists by then leaves with you.
You decide
Your call · no clock, no expiring quote
Build with us. Project-based or dedicated team. The $4,500 comes off the build in full.
Build elsewhere. Take every document to another vendor or your in-house team. We’ll wish you well and mean it.
Don’t build. If the ROI isn’t there, the roadmap says so in writing. Off-the-shelf sometimes wins; we’ll name the product.
One follow-up after the final presentation. Then the ball is in your court.
One of the things that I really appreciate about Code District is that they work with you front stage in discovery sessions to help understand your needs and your requirements.

Still not convinced? The questions everyone asks
Because the session is how we both find out whether a real project makes sense. We invest the time up front, you leave with a concrete plan you own, and if it turns into work together, great. If not, you still keep everything we produce.
The free session scopes the problem; the full workshop does the deep technical work architecture, data mapping, and a build-ready roadmap. That takes senior time and produces a deliverable you can hand to any team, so it is paid.
No. There is no commitment. The roadmap and findings are yours to keep and to take to any internal team or vendor. We only continue if you decide the fit is right.
Ideally someone who owns the business outcome and someone who knows the current systems a decision-maker plus a technical lead. Two to four people keeps it focused; we can adapt if your setup is different.
That is exactly the kind of problem we work on. We do not require a rewrite to get started; we map what you have, find the safe integration points, and build a modernization path that keeps the business running throughout.
A sales call pitches a product. This is working session: we dig into your actual systems and constraints and leave you with a technical plan, whether or not you ever hire us. The output is the value, not a proposal.
