Validate and build the smallest credible system for a workflow, integration, customer portal, or software opportunity that off-the-shelf tools cannot solve cleanly.
Four layers, each one built and tested.
- InterfaceThe screens your team and customers use every day.
- Logic and APIsYour business rules, and the links between your tools.
- DataOne source of truth, with roles, history and backups.
- Devices and integrationsTrackers, payments, messages and the services you already use.

What the work delivers
- 01
A clear answer before a big build.
Paid discovery shows whether custom software is the right call, and what the smallest useful version is.
- 02
One system instead of scattered tools.
Dashboards, portals and integrations built around how your team actually works.
- 03
A first version you can use.
A bounded MVP with agreed users, workflows and acceptance checks.
- Selective portals, dashboards, and internal systems
- Integrations and focused automations
- Mobile-friendly operational workflows
- Validated software MVPs
- Technical scope, risks, and phased recommendations

Scope and responsibilities
- Discovery does not guarantee that a custom build is the right recommendation.
- The MVP has explicit users, workflows, integrations, and acceptance criteria.
- Open-ended product development and unvalidated feature lists are not included.
Four stages, agreed up front.
- Run paid discovery
- Validate users, data, and constraints
- Define a bounded MVP
- Build, test, and hand over the agreed version
Paid discovery first. If the problem and approach are validated, AltaDev proposes a separate, bounded MVP build.

Useful answers before we talk.
Why does Alta Platforms begin with paid discovery?
Custom systems carry data, integration, security, and operational risks. Discovery produces a usable problem definition, constraints, and MVP recommendation before committing to a build.
Does discovery always lead to an MVP?
No. It may show that an existing product, a smaller automation, or a process change is the cleaner option.
Can the MVP grow later?
Yes, if evidence supports it. The first build remains bounded so later phases can be prioritised from real use rather than an open-ended feature list.
