Technical Discovery & Architecture Audit for Energy Startup

The startup faced multiple technical hurdles requiring expert assessment:
- A partially built product needing professional review for viability and scalability
- Incomplete and undefined feature specifications requiring validation and prioritization
- Lack of accurate time and cost estimations for proper budgeting and roadmap creation
- Strict budget limitations for the discovery phase itself

Techstack implemented a structured discovery approach including:
- Comprehensive review of existing documentation on features, business model, and architecture
- Demonstration sessions to understand current functionality and limitations
- Iterative assessment with regular client synchronization to refine findings
- Detailed architecture audit that identified critical scalability issues in the existing monolithic structure
- Design of a new scalable architecture with defined database structure, DevOps processes, and security measures
- Development of detailed effort estimates with team composition recommendations
- Creation of a prioritized roadmap with clear feature dependencies and implementation phases

- Delivered comprehensive documentation package with feature lists, architecture diagrams, and cost estimates
- Identified the need for complete architectural rebuild to ensure proper scalability
- Discovered approximately 50% of features were missing or underdefined in original scope
- Provided accurate time estimations revealing several features requiring significantly more development effort
- Created clear priority structure distinguishing MVP requirements from postponable features
