STRICHER

01Process

Six stages. Same shape on every engagement, even when the duration changes.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We start by understanding the business, the users, and the constraints. Sometimes that takes two calls; sometimes it takes a week embedded with the team. Either way, we leave with a written brief everyone has signed off on.

    Deliverables

    • · Discovery brief
    • · Risks + open questions
    • · Engagement proposal

    Timeframe

    1–2 weeks

  2. 02

    Define

    We translate the brief into a product. Information architecture, key user journeys, the shape of the data, and the decisions that are too important to leave to design.

    Deliverables

    • · Product definition
    • · IA + flows
    • · Architecture sketch

    Timeframe

    1–2 weeks

  3. 03

    Design

    Two art-direction routes. One chosen. A design system built alongside the key screens, so the team can ship the rest of the product after we leave without it drifting.

    Deliverables

    • · Two concept routes
    • · Design system
    • · Hi-fi key screens

    Timeframe

    3–5 weeks

  4. 04

    Build

    Vertical slices, weekly demos, real users early. We run the build as if the product is already live — observability, CI, and a release process from week one.

    Deliverables

    • · Production codebase
    • · CI + observability
    • · Weekly demos

    Timeframe

    4–12 weeks

  5. 05

    Launch

    Soft launch first, with a small audience and a runbook on the desk. Public launch when the data says it is time, not when the calendar says it.

    Deliverables

    • · Soft launch + runbook
    • · Public launch
    • · Analytics in place

    Timeframe

    1–2 weeks

  6. 06

    Evolve

    A product is never finished. We stay on as a retainer, an embedded team, or a periodic strategic engagement — whichever shape the team needs.

    Deliverables

    • · Retainer or embedded team
    • · Quarterly product reviews

    Timeframe

    Ongoing

02Engagement formats

  • 01

    Project

    A defined outcome on a defined timeline. Best for marketing sites, app launches, and discrete platform builds.

  • 02

    Retainer

    A reserved slice of the team, monthly. Best for products that ship continuously and want strategic continuity.

  • 03

    Embedded team

    Our team works inside your team for the duration of an engagement. Best for ambitious in-house builds that need outside leverage.
