Design Sprint Service &
Product Pilot
A paid trial run before the big commitment. One scoped sprint where we solve a real problem, show you how we work, and prove the fit before either side signs up for more.
One Sprint, One Problem, Real Output
A full engagement is a big bet on a partner you’ve barely worked with. A pilot shrinks that bet. You bring one pressing problem, we run a single sprint against it, and you walk away with real work and a clear sense of whether we’re the right team, not a signature on a six-month contract made on faith.

RefiMate Mortgage Refinance App
We designed a mortgage refinance mobile app that lets users compare rates, estimate savings and complete refinancing quickly in one user-friendly experience. Our key task was to make refinancing simple enough to fit into everyday life, with a clear smart refinance tool built around how people actually manage their finances on the go.

How a Pilot Runs
A pilot is deliberately short, so the work moves in four tight moves rather than a long phased plan. Most of it happens inside a single sprint.
Frame the Problem
We agree on the one thing this sprint is for. A conversion leak, an unproven idea, a flow that’s fighting users. Scope stays narrow on purpose, because a pilot earns trust by finishing something, not by sampling everything.
Pressure-Test It
Before design, we check the assumption underneath the problem. A compressed look at users, competitors and data tells us whether the obvious fix is the right one, so the sprint spends its hours where they count.
Design the Answer
Concept, then prototype. We set the direction with a moodboard and key screens, then build the core flow into a clickable prototype you can click through and put in front of a real user.
Decide Together
The sprint ends with something to react to and a straight conversation about fit. You’ve seen the work and the working style, so continuing is an informed choice. Over 81% of pilot clients go on to a long-term engagement, and the ones who don’t still leave with real output.
The Book Itself
Everything is compiled into one documented guide: clear sections, real examples and the do’s and don’ts that keep it honest. You get it in a format your team and any contractor can open, follow and extend, not a PDF nobody can find in six months.
Who Comes to Us for This
FounderEarly Stage
You have a concept and need to see it before you pour a year into it. The pilot turns the idea into a prototype and an honest read on whether it holds up.
CEOStartup
Your product works but conversion or investor interest is stalling. One sprint on the weakest point builds the proof and polish that move the next conversation forward.
CMOEnterprise
You’re standing up a new initiative and want to strengthen an existing team without a long procurement cycle. A pilot slots in a flexible design unit and tests the working relationship first.
Case Study
RefiMate came to us to sharpen a finance product that already had a web presence but no clear edge.

FAQ
What is a design sprint?
A short, focused engagement that takes one problem from question to tested answer. Research, concept and a prototype happen in days rather than months, so you learn fast and cheaply. Our Pilot is a paid version aimed at real client work, not a training exercise.
What does a design sprint cost?
Our Pilot starts at $19,000 for one sprint, with the final figure set by the problem and the option you choose. You get a fixed quote before anything begins.
What does a design sprint cost?
Our Pilot starts at $19,000 for one sprint, with the final figure set by the problem and the option you choose. You get a fixed quote before anything begins.
How long does it take?
A pilot runs inside a single sprint, usually a few weeks end to end. You get a timeline the moment the problem is scoped.
Design sprint vs agile or scrum, what’s the difference?
Agile and scrum are ongoing ways to build and ship over many cycles. A design sprint is a one-off burst to validate a direction before that building starts. They work together: the sprint decides what’s worth putting into the backlog.
