Efficiency vs. Customization
The Experience Discovery Sprint excels in speed; A custom application gives the most control. Licensing the Fictioneers platform is a balance of both that keeps development expertise and skill in-house
Scalability
Starting with a discovery sprint puts down a strong foundation and makes it easier to decide if licensing the platform or having us build you a custom application is the right choice. If you do decide to build what you design in the discovery spint, we'll design a package for you that can be a blend of self-service with our full range of product development services.
Resources
Starting with a design sprint also minimizes initial costs and validates the concept quickly at a 10-15% of a custom project cost. If you have an existing product or in-house development team, licensing the software platform keeps skills and learning in-house while getting software support from Fictioneers. Building a custom application is best if you lack a full development team or are starting from scratch.
