Product Development Services

Product Discovery and Validation

We help founders and product teams test ideas with a working prototype, so you have an evidence-backed plan before investing in full development.

You leave with a tested prototype and a clear go or no-go call

Working prototype · MVP scope and roadmap

When to start with discovery

  • Your idea is still untested

    You know the problem, but not yet if people choose your solution.

  • Every feature feels like a must-have

    It’s hard to decide what goes into version one.

  • You need evidence before investing

    Assumptions alone aren’t enough to commit a budget.

What our product discovery service includes

Market and competitor analysis

Where the gaps are, and who else is trying to fill them.

User insights

Understanding user needs, pain points, and behaviors through research and analysis.

Clickable prototype

An interactive prototype of key journeys, built before any code is written.

Concept validation

Assessing key assumptions, product concepts, and potential solutions.

MVP scope and roadmap

Feature priorities, a phased plan, and a go or no-go recommendation.

From idea to evidence in 3–4 weeks

  1. Kick off

    Agree on goals, key assumptions, and what success looks like.

  2. Research and define

    Explore the market, understand user needs, and define the problems to solve.

  3. Prototype

    Design a clickable version of the main flows, plus a tech test if needed.

  4. Validate

    Assess key assumptions, gather feedback, and refine the proposed solution.

  5. Decide

    Define the MVP scope, prioritize features, and recommend next steps.

Turning recorded lectures into AI-generated visual notes

LaKar aimed to convert spoken lectures into structured visual notes, but had no in-house tech team. They came to Enosta to turn their concept into a functional product.

Common questions

How long does product discovery take?

Usually 3–4 weeks, depending on how many user groups and assumptions we need to test. We agree on the timeline during scoping.

What do I have at the end?

User insights, a tested prototype of the core flow, a prioritized MVP scope, and a clear recommendation on whether to build.

Do I need discovery if I already know what to build?

If you have real user evidence, we can move straight to an MVP. If the plan rests on assumptions, a short discovery phase costs far less than building the wrong thing.

What’s the difference between a prototype, a proof of concept, and an MVP?

A prototype shows how the product will work. A proof of concept proves a risky technical piece can work. An MVP is real software that real users can sign up to and use.

Who owns the research and designs?

You do. Every file, prototype, and finding is yours from day one.
