The challenge
For a small business, a full requirements-gathering engagement can cost more than the software is worth. So they either overpay up front, or you guess at the scope and both sides lose.
How we solved it
We built an AI-guided intake that collects requirements through a chat, but a structured one. Instead of a blank text box, it offers set choices: pick one, pick several, enter a number, confirm a summary. So answers come back as clean data. It reads how technical you are and adjusts how much it explains. And it can't submit on its own: the AI proposes, a human click confirms.
The result
Enough clear requirements to scope a small project honestly, without either side paying for a full discovery phase.
