Turn a complex vision into a plan your developers can build.
We lead discovery, workflow architecture, product requirements, and UX/UI design for new platforms, internal portals, and operational systems — so your development investment starts from clarity, not guesswork.
You know what you want, but struggle to translate it into developer requirements.
02
Your organization runs on disconnected platforms and needs one integrated workflow.
03
You need a custom internal portal for your team, clients, or contractors.
04
Your existing software product is difficult for staff to use.
05
Leadership needs strategy, UX/UI, and an execution plan before committing substantial development resources.
Who this is for
— Established founders and owners planning a new platform, portal, or product.
— Organizations replacing spreadsheets and disconnected tools with an internal system.
— Teams with existing software that needs a usability and workflow rethink.

Strategic discovery engagements
Every business is different. Madli Creative offers both focused project engagements and extended strategic partnerships. Investment is determined by complexity, scope, timeline, and the resources required to deliver meaningful results.
One-Time Project Investment
Strategic Discovery Sprint
Starting at $5,000 one-time
A focused evaluation of a specific business challenge, product concept, or operational opportunity. Typical duration: 2–4 weeks, depending on agreed scope.
Best when: You have one clearly defined question or opportunity and need clarity and a prioritized next step.
What's included
Initial stakeholder interviews
Business needs assessment
High-level operational review
Identification of critical gaps and opportunities
Initial strategic recommendations
Prioritized action roadmap
Limited to a defined scope. Additional discovery, stakeholders, departments, or deliverables may require a separate engagement.
Starting Monthly Investment
Extended Business & Product Discovery
Starting at $5,000 / month
Comprehensive discovery across multiple departments, products, systems, or operational functions. Engagements may last 2–6+ months depending on business complexity.
Best when: You're a growing business or startup with several teams, systems, or products that need to be understood together.
What's included
In-depth business and operational discovery
Stakeholder interviews and requirements gathering
Departmental workflow assessments and business process mapping
Systems and technology evaluation
Product discovery and user journey analysis
Operational risk and dependency identification
Business model and process recommendations
Strategic roadmap development
Ongoing discovery documentation and reporting
$5,000/month is the minimum for a limited engagement, not a fixed price. Monthly investment depends on departments and stakeholders, scope and complexity, leadership involvement, specialist support, deliverables, and reserved monthly capacity. Meetings, research, and deliverables are defined in each month's scope.
Custom Engagement Pricing
Enterprise Discovery & Architecture
Custom multi-phase
For complex businesses, large-scale operational transformations, custom digital platforms, or organizations with significant cross-functional dependencies.
Best when: Multiple departments, complex stakeholder groups, or systems integrations are involved and the work needs phased planning.
What's included
Enterprise-wide business analysis
Multi-department discovery
Complex stakeholder coordination
Technical and operational requirements definition
Systems integration planning
Business and product architecture
UX/UI strategy
Implementation planning
Executive-level strategic advisory
Pricing and duration are set through an initial consultation and formal scope assessment.
Starting prices represent minimum engagement investments. Final proposals are customized based on discovery, deliverables, and project requirements.
Architecture & implementation projects
These are project-based engagements, separate from discovery. Extended discovery is not included in these ranges — where more discovery is needed, it's scoped and priced separately.
One-Time Project Investment
Business & Product Architecture
Starting at $15,000 per project
Typical project range: $15,000–$25,000. Project-based pricing, subject to scope.
Best when: You know the problem and need the blueprint — workflows, requirements, and UX/UI — before development.
What's included
Business process and workflow maps
Product requirements and feature definitions
User journeys, roles, and permissions planning
Wireframes and UX/UI interface designs
Systems and integration maps
One-Time Project Investment
Architecture + Implementation
Starting at $30,000 per project
Typical project range: $30,000–$75,000+. Complex custom implementations may exceed $100,000. Final pricing is set by approved scope and technical requirements.
Best when: You're ready to move from plan to a working system, with development coordinated through approved partners.
What's included
Everything in Business & Product Architecture
Implementation plan and phasing
Development coordination with approved technical delivery partners
Launch and adoption support
How every engagement is protected
Every engagement begins with an agreed scope of work.
Deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities are documented up front.
Extended engagements include defined monthly capacity and milestones.
New requirements are handled openly through revised pricing or a change order.
Implementation is not automatically included in discovery engagements.
Specialized development may be performed through approved technical delivery partners.
How it works
01
Discover
Founder and stakeholder sessions to understand goals, users, constraints, and how work actually happens today.
02
Architect
Business process, data, roles, and integration architecture — the blueprint behind the product.
03
Design
User journeys, wireframes, and UX/UI design for the screens people will use every day.
04
Plan
Requirements, phasing, and an implementation plan that developers can estimate and build from.
05
Implement
Separately scoped. Development can be delivered with Product Design Labs (PDL) or other qualified development partners, with Madli coordinating where appropriate. Not every solution requires custom software.
Frequently asked questions
Do you build the software?+
Madli leads analysis, architecture, strategy, workflow design, and UX/UI. Custom software implementation is scoped separately and can be delivered through Product Design Labs (PDL) and qualified development partners under their own project agreements.
How is pricing set?+
Discovery starts with a one-time Sprint (from $5,000) or a monthly engagement (from $5,000/month); complex work is custom. Architecture projects start at $15,000 and Architecture + Implementation at $30,000. Starting prices are minimums — every proposal is based on agreed scope.
Is discovery unlimited?+
No. Each engagement has a defined scope, and monthly engagements have defined capacity and milestones. Additional needs are handled through a revised scope or change order.
Do we need custom software?+
Not always. Sometimes the right answer is configuring tools you already have. Architecture work tells you which path makes sense before you spend on development.
