Consulting

Do you have an idea or plan for a research or technology project but you don’t know where to start?

Do you need advice from experts with a broad range of technology and business experience who can clearly articulate your vision and understand the entrepreneurial process?

Taking an idea from a concept to reality is not easy and you will need more than a sales or marketing pitch to get it done.

You need a specification that a technical team will understand and be able to execute.  Clarity can do the analysis, produce business cases and create specifications and project plans addressing:

  • Strategic objectives:  What are you trying to achieve, why is it important and how are you going to do it?
  • Technology:  What technology is required and how will it be implemented? This analysis may include evaluating competing solutions,  functional testing and making recommendations.
  • Functional Requirements : Functional requirements describe how your product works enabling you to gather valuable feedback from stakeholders and user groups.  This also supports market research by providing detailed information on how users will interact and benefit from using your product or service.
  • Technical Requirements: For the developer you should specify things like what technologies are to be used, techniques to be used, how errors will be handled, data validation, database schema, security model and more. This is how your project will be implemented.
  • Product Design:  Mapping out a conceptual framework of how a system or web application will work enables you to quickly interate through alternative designs and confirm needs and expectations will be met.  We support a minimum viable product (MVP) development philosophy, where a project can be delivered incrementally through an iternative process. This not only brings your project to market sooner but is cost effective, allowing you to quickly pivot as you learn from experience or the market changes.
  • Hiring Guidelines: If you are planning on hiring developers or others to build your product, we can help you define the roles and skills that will be required. Knowing what you’re looking for makes finding it that much easier.

If you want to get your project off on the right foot, contact Clarity and let us translate your awesome idea into something that developers and funders will understand.

It will make your life easier, it will make their lives easier, and it will get your project to market sooner.
